You have to play ARob. I think he's encroaching on getting into that tier 1 of receivers. I think more Bortles seasoning will make that happen. As much as I hate playing players against GB, I thinking Jax ends up playing from behind for most of the game forcing more air play. Thats on top of in Week 1 I think you have to play your roster as you drafted. Obviously you got ARob well before Baldy and I just don't think that changes with a sprinkle of GB bias. Who's your other WRs?

I got OBJ, Robinson, ARob, Brandin Cooks, Doug Baldwin, and John Brown. Really focused on stacking up the WR this year. Think I'll roll with OBJ at the 1, ARob at the 2, and Cooks in the flex.

You drafted Robinson twice? That is genius!

Fitz/Cooks. Full PPR...have Carson starting as well. Fitz right?

Last year around this time I was stoked with the team of Jamaal Charles, Dez Bryant, and Gronk. This year, my brother drafted the same exact team in the reverse order. I told him to be careful as they are all getting up there in age and constantly having nagging injuries.

Week 1, 2 of the 3 are already out. He didn't even get Ware because some jackass took him in the 3rd round right after he got Charles.

ESPN fantasy servers down since kickoff. Great stuff.

I share your pain.

I not only passed on K. Allen in the 3rd (once for Amari Cooper and once for Mike Evans) in both of my drafts but drafted Travis Benjamin in both.

Yeah did the same in 2 or 3 of my leagues. Did not trust Allen at all

Seriously...my team is so stacked I can't afford to drop anyone to pick up some of there guys showing flashes this week.

The two players I felt iffy about after my draft both laid eggs today. (Dez and Bennett)

Really startling stats for those two. Tempting to look for a trade.

I would hang on to Dez. Prescott looks good and I think it's only a matter of time before he connects with Dez on a regular basis.

Had 2 of my 4 teams do really well and the other 2 do pretty bad. Not overly concerned about them but its annoying that no one off the radar really broke out as usual in the 1st week.

But seriously. Nobody cares. NOBODY!!! I love fantasy sports. Baseball and football. But outside of the actual fantasy draft, when friends and I are drunkenly comparing rosters, I don't want to hear about your stupid f***ing team. There's nothing worse than walking into work in the morning, asking "how ya doing" and a co-worker, unprovoked, offering up information about his team. I cringe just thinking about it. While they're telling me all about some outrageous trade that went down in their baseball league, or how "Emmanuel Sanders didn't do sh*t last night because Denver's new QB..." I just sit there with this blank, obvious "I f***ing hate you" smile on my face until they're done talking. Never any follow up questions. Never volunteering any info from my multiple leagues. Why? Because they don't care about my teams! Just walk away and hope they don't want to talk about fantasy sports at lunch. Ok, rant over.

This post is eerily similar to every FB post I see where people are complaining that other people are talking about football in general and happy when the season ends or don't care when it starts in the first place.

If you don't care don't take part in the conversation

Fair enough. I just had the upteenth run-in with my co worker and felt like ranting about it on the fantasy football thread. Maybe looking for someone that could relate. And I get polling the forum for "start/sit" advice (despite the infinite fantasy info available on the web), but what I don't get is bragging about your team to strangers, or even people you know, as if they genuinely care how anyone else's fantasy teams are doing.

Yeah... I hope you're right. I just can't afford to have any more duds out of him.

A little worried about Emmanuel Sanders - he was pretty quiet against Carolina. I know he's transitioning from Manning to Simien, but I'm hoping he doesn't drop down as a target for them.

Thank you DeAngelo Williams

In one league they laughed that I took him even though I didn't get LeVeon, in another league they laughed when I took LeVeon in the 2nd and DeAngelo in the 6th.
