I have a lot of Aaron Jones shares this year, and own Jamaal as well in a few of those same teams

 

What a waste that Tyreek hill is an abuser. Electric talent, great for fantasy teams, would've been a knockout round 2 pick to go with Fournette in one league and Hopkins in another. By the numbers alone I considered him a player that will finish top 20 among skill positions if healthy.

But I didn't draft him cause I don't want to root for him. The ugly reality of betting on sports - being just as careless as teams can be about that kind of stuff only results in a wider competitive advantage.

 

Wait, what did he do?

 

beat up his pregnant girlfriend in college

 

punched / choked his pregnant girlfriend, allegedly happened on several occasions too

he pleaded guilty and got 3 years probation and now gets to act and live lavishly like it never happened

 

Jesus christ. What the fuck is wrong with people

 

You're not a bad person for drafting him haha, its just betting and you obviously didn't know. But it is the reason I felt uneasy about taking him and went about a different draft strategy.

 

Same with Mixon. can't stand it.

 

Yep, and if your league has any PPR at all, he's a solid RB2 at worst.

The fact they went away from Henry so quickly when he struggled is a bad sign for Henry owners.

 

Henry actually had a long TD run late in the game that got called back by holding

 

For sure, but, getting out-touched 21-3 after struggling early...thats to the point of "can I start this guy"

Compared to Cook/Murray, where the carries were 16 to 11...but, we knew Cook was gonna be eased back, and they were in the lead most of the game and thus running a lot. Most of Murray's work came late when it was over.

 

My starters went off (Brady, Gronk, Julio, Tyreek) and I still have Golden Tate, Prater, and Detroit D to go...but my bench still almost outscored my starters (I stared Jamaal Williams because I wanted to see how the usage of all these bench guys would shake or after week 1)

 

I like Jordan Howard. He played well last night. No TD but he was about 5 yards per touch and involved in the passing game. Feel like I still potentially got a RB1 in round 2

 

I'm starting Sam Darnold over Jimmy G because he can't possibly hurt me the same way the Saints defense hurt me

 

Jimmy G will be fine.

Still a strong believer. This game gonna motivate him to take some leadership initiative and get his receivers on track

 

Oh yeah absolutely I just meant for this week hahaha

 

I just made my first trade of the season. A guy in my league was desperate for RB so I offered him Tevin Coleman. He sent me Allen Robinson. I don't really need another WR, and it leaves me kinda thin at RB, but I think that was too good to pass on.

Now I have:

RB: Christian McCaffrey, Kareem Hunt, Kerryon Johnson
WR: TY Hilton, Stefon Diggs, Amari Cooper, Allen Robinson, Corey Davis, Will Fuller

(It's a 10-team league, PPR)

 

That’s a good deal

 

Tevin is a starter with Devante out, but you’ll get more out of this in the long run. Good trade for both teams imo but keep your eye on waivers for RB

 

Zuerlein the god! Won 125-121 and couldn’t be happier with my start to the season as reigning champ.

 

I had Delanie Walker in one league so i'm in trouble.

Thinking of offering up Carlos Hyde for Jack Doyle.

That would leave me with: Gurley, Shady, Conner, Crowell at RB.

Thoughts?

 

Snagged him on the turn in round 3. He's always been consistent but this could be his true 'breakout' year.

 

whats the waiver wire look like? I might do that, but it leaves you pretty thin at RB (I hate McCoy and once Bell is back, Conner is probably useless)

 

I personally wouldn't do that if someone like Ricky Seals Jones or George Kittle is available on waivers.

 

I don’t think you need to trade for a TE just yet. Especially not Hyde. There are some good options out there to stream for a week or two before you get a better idea of what your team will look like.
