Week 1 Matchups and Games Discussion

[Cactus Jack]

New girlfriend is from Wisconsin so she's a packer fan and this is going to be her first experience watching football with me and my friends or in Texas period (so she's not used to drunken idiots)

I do plan on getting semi drunk and cheering for the Hawks (especially lacy) to annoy her...it'll make it so much sweeter if lacy goes off (even though I won't play him) so I can keep saying that the packers should have kept him

You just made my night!

Seahawks are approaching Warriors status Jack...sure, GB isn't an easy place to play, but the Hawks went into New England and won last year....and the Hawks are better. Pack might win obviously (and obviously I'll be rooting for them hard), but Seattle can win anywhere.

Here's to hoping the Rams are in first place for a few weeks with the Luckless Colts coming to town

We haven't won in GB since 1999. Were blown out last year. I think its fair to say I expect a loss.

Nope. It's in the 80's.

At Green Bay.

Rawls is now Questionable for Sunday. Might want to look into inserting Lacy into your lineup.

Pisses me off. In that damn 20 team keeper league I'm in I drafted him. Pickens were slim. I don't really have anyone else for my 2nd rb spot. How a team has LeVeon Bell and David Johnson is beyond me. That team is probably going to win every year for the foreseeable future.

Then of course in another league I have Jameis Winston and Jay Ajayi.

Rawls is always banged up. Your better off dropping him & picking someone off the waiver wire.

Rawls just can't stay healthy. Your better off dropping him & picking someone off the waiver wire.

In a 20 team league? Doubtful. The best I could get with like 3 rounds to go was Kerwynn Williams, who shares backup duties for David Johnson.

I was hoping to get Prosise too but he went before my next pick came up.

Agreed, I have absolutely no faith in Prosise this year. Rawls might get a few fantasy points. Kerwynn Williams isn't a terrible pickup that late in such a deep league though. One of my favorite football memories of all time was watching Kerwynn Williams in college for Utah State rush for 150-ish yards and 3 touchdowns in a 3-minute span in a bowl game.

I was only going to pick up Prosise because it's PPR and in case Rawls got injured or perhaps to play them both since my only other RBs are Mike Gillislie and DeAndre Washington.

What about Paul Richardson? He's my other WR who I could play instead of Travis Benjamin who is projected to score less because he plays the Broncos.

I have someone in mind, who you can pick up. But, I'd rather not share it on here.

I'll send you a PM.

I'll be real surprised if he's available unless you see him on that list.

It's an under the radar type. That's all I'll say.

Richardson is made of glass. Injury just waiting to happen. Hard pass.
