I would probably not bench Najee Harris but I suppose it depends on what other running backs you have.  You don't want to overreact in week 1, which is easy to do.  Antonio Brown had a great game but he's on a team with countless mouths to feed, he wont be having games like that every week.  Corey Davis is a solid player, but in an 8 man league there is likely no reason to ever play him, you should have much better options available. Just my 2.

Edit: I would absolutely NEVER start Corey Davis over AJ Brown.  AJ Brown is a top 5 fantasy wide receiver and in real life.  He's an absolute beast.  He also plays in a much better offense with a much better quarterback. Again, you don't want to overreact based on week 1.

Agreed rookie game 1 and was a tough outing against bills on the road.  That's a tough first day. 

What a Monday night football game.  Waller with 19 targets, whoa.  Look out kelce, waller gonna be knocking on that #1 door real quick.  Ses every pass play was intended to get it to waller lol.  Glad I scooped him up

This is a good question.  I drafted Sermon in one of my leagues and was absolutely shocked when I saw that he was a healthy scratch on Sunday morning.  I am not sure what that is all about by any means.  Normally the San Fran Niners like to use a few running backs which made it even more confusing.  Now that Mostert is out for the year Sermon will get his chance to shine..and it might not be that hard to take over the job from Mitchell.

Well week one is in the books and I don't know about you guys but me and Suchmoon had a real close game that came down to Monday night. He Had ravens QB and Raiders RB and I had Ravens D and a 35 or so point lead with which Lamar can cover easily alone so I was a bit worried and rightfully so!

At least I didn't have to wait long to know I was done as Raiders only handed of to Jacobs for massive chunk and score plays! Ravens D let me down big time and I have booted them to the wire. I would not recommend picking them up!

I'm really Glad suchmoon won by more than 5 points as Winston put up 5 more points than Cousins and I put Cousins in last minute as a safer play and I would have been really pissed at myself if that was the move that cost me the week.

Greenbay was a massive shock to everyone this week and to me it looked like Rogers was timid and afraid and had no faith in his O-Line. Maybe his antics are coming back to bite him in the ass and his boys are truly pissed off at him. I think it might be dangerous to play GB players this week even though their opponent should be a cake walk.

Lions were also a surpise and looks like they can feed us some points this year in the right circumstances.

But I think the biggest surprise was Houston as all the pundants were saying they were going to go the year without a win and you should choose your streamers against their D and a host of other crap that wasn't even remotely close to reality.

The suck teams are still the same as the last 5 years and it doesn't matter how those talking heads try to spin it the Falcons, Jaquars and Jets will be the teams to beat to snail snot yet again this year.

Sorry about the delayed post but have had personal things to deal with lately and didn't want to just post a shitty one liner for week one opener.

Looks like I have a long climb out of the depths here but I shall keep moving up this chart!

It was quite exciting indeed. I was worried about Jacobs being questionable before the game but he delivered big time, limping and all.

What pisses me off is that ESPN put me in 7th position on the wire, which basically means I can't get the players I want... even though my team is like 3rd worst in the league.

I think that surprised everyone.  I had Rodgers on the bench for that game, but I started Aaron Jones and he didn't do much either.  I'm not going to dump either of them, in fact I think I'll keep Jones on my roster for the Detroit match.  I hope he does better this week.  As for Rodgers, I'll give him one or two more weeks to see if he gets in the NFL mindset before making my decision.



It was almost as fun watching your two teams as it was watching the game on Monday night.  That was cool, and it did come down to the wire.  It was looking like Lamar was going to keep suchmoon in the lurch, but he did just enough.

Is the waiver wire random each week meaning every week a new person has a Crack at the top slot?  I never bothered to look so I don't know how it's calculated.  Either way waiver wire is an important piece to the championship puzzle

HAH, with your great draft you don't have to worry bout nowaiver wire baloney!

thats for them Plebs!

I'm not sure if it flips each week or if you go up the ladder if you don't use your pick on espn.

OK just looked it up so this is the way the order is set on ESPN standard default leagues:

So I should get first pick all season!!!

It's in reverse order of current standings and when you get a player off the wire you drop to the bottom in the order.

My problem is that it put me 2nd in the standings, but that's just because our "division" is the equivalent of NFC East and I happened to win one game. This doesn't really reflect the true suckyness of my team and my need to grab some players before I face someone like that wheelz guy from the other division.
