How much FAAB on Likely?

50%+ imo

I think the FAAB players are:
TE
Likely
Colby parkinson

WR
Lazard

RB
Bucky Irving
A Mattison
Justice hill (ppr only)
Jeff Wilson/Jalen Wright (mostert/achane health dependent)

QB
Fields
Mayfield (I think lions have a good defense)

DEF
Any defense playing the titans, Chi, or Carolina

I wouldn't mind adding a WR with Rome Odunze picking up an injury (week to week with an MCL sprain) but I'm not sure who to drop. Can he be dropped?

Amari Cooper (currently my FLEX play)
Terry Mclaurin
Curtis Samuel
Rome

You should be able to IR him soon.

Even if he's just carrying a questionable designation? That would be nice

I'd assume he would get the O tag pretty soon since he has an MCL sprain, but you could probably live with dropping him. I'd rather not though, I assume you drafted him in the top ten rounds and rookie WRs tend to boom in the latter half.

He's currently week to week with his MCL sprain so I'm not sure he'll get the O tag.

And yeah I don't want to drop him because of the draft capital (8th rd) and the upside later in the season.

So annoying. At least it is out in the open and his coach is not Kyle Shanahan!

I wish the Browns would hurry up and say Njoku is out so I can move him to IR

Well, didn't take long to be hit with the injury bug.

I'm in a 12-team superflex league (meaning you can start a QB in your flex). Jordan Love was my QB1 so I'm trying to figure out how to navigate the next few weeks.

Do I start Jacoby Brissett (my emergency QB3) in my superflex spot or Courtland Sutton who's on my bench as WR4? Sutton had an underwhelming stat line in week one but he had a ton of targets which is a good sign going forward.

Brissett obviously sucks but if he somehow backs into 210 yards and a touchdown I could live with it... but that Pats team absolutely stinks.

No starting QBs on waivers since QBs are a premium.

Thoughts?

Malik Willis? I know he hasn't shown much in his first couple years in the league, but he is in a better offense in Green Bay than he was in Tennessee, and he adds rushing upside.

A note for those of us who play in more casual leagues that still use snake draft waiver priority. If you have a pressing roster need and need to make a claim, you should definitely do so. However, if you don't have an absolute need after week 1 and especially if you currently have a low waiver priority, there can be a lot of value in waiting and not making a waiver claim this week so you can move up the waiver priority list for when you really need to make a move.

FYI, regarding the Rams receivers and routes run against Detroit:

#Rams WR routes last night. On 51 Matthew Stafford dropbacks:

1. Cooper Kupp 51
2. Demarcus Robinson 47
3. Tyler Johnson 33
4. Puka Nacua 15 (left with knee injury, headed to short-term IR)
5. Tutu Atwell 4
6. Jordan Whittington 0

I like Robinson.

I expect rams to put kupp in motion 70% of plays to make it hard to double team him. I do think defenses will have time to gameplan against it.

Agreed. Robinson should have a role in the Rams offense all season. In deeper leagues, if Robinson is already taken, Johnson is a nice pivot as the Rams WR3 until Puka gets back.

Who is Deshaun's backup? He's about to get popped with another sexual assault allegation.

Famous Jameis!

Benching Burrow this week for Stafford. Was hoping to capitalize on the Chase/Burrow tandem but they need to show me more.

I'd cut Samuel. Never been a huge fan of his and even though he has a much better QB than any of his previous years, there are a lot more mouths to feed in that offense.

in my 10-team leagues...Baker is on the waiver wire...and I'm going to grab him.

my backup QB's are Goff and Cousins.

the Lions really want to run the ball from the 1st quarter to the 4th quarter

and the Falcons were shockingly bad on offense

(these are 6-pt passing TD leagues)

Need 2 Flex in Half PPR

Right now I have:
Brian Robinson Jr
JK Dobbins
Both with good matchups, over:

Javonte Williams and Deandre Hopkins
That ok?

Also, should I drop Tyler Allgeier to pick up Tank Bigsby considering I have Etienne as my RB1 with Mixon as RB2?

Jameis Winston, I believe.

Jameis fidda

too soon to panic about Drake London? Mark Andrews?

wayyyy too soon. I think the Falcons offense gets better as the year goes on and Kirk gets better. Also I think Andrews will get his still since the Ravens like to run a ton of 12 personnel with 2 TEs. I'm buying low on both if I can.

I think Mayfield will have a good year. Kind of hard not to when you have Evans and Godwin.

somehow lotta logjams already for an 0-1 team (half ppr)

starting 3 RB: ETN, Jacobs, Rhamondre, Dobbins, Pollard

prob rolling 1st 3, have a feeling ETN may make this a weekly dilemma but too early to consider benching him?


2 WR: Chase, DK, B Thomas, Flowers

again too early to throw Thomas in for DK right


TE: Pitts, Likely

Pitts had good involvement gonna ride his upward trajectory


bench went off and outside of Hurts my highest scoring starters were Steelers and Moody

yes, Baker is good at getting the ball (and sometimes forcing the ball) to his top WR's

and from a fantasy standpoint...we like that

kind of like Philip Rivers back in the day

Pollard was surprisingly good in his Titans debut

Dobbins draws the woeful Panthers this week

Sell high on Kupp?
A guy who finished last, last week has ASB and G. Wilson. He's already offering Wilson and Kirk for Kupp, I feel like I could get him to ASB. But Kupp may be a league Winner...

hold onto Kupp -- especially in PPR

Kupp plays airzona. Don't do any trade until you get him for week 2.

will DeShaun Watson be eligible at Defense?
