I think the balls are going to be flying around in that Eagles/Falcons game and Smith will emerge as a major player. Same with Browns/Chiefs. I think the running will not be easy for Barkley against a refurbished Bronco D.

I have the unconventional thought to go with Smith


Smith.

I disagree. I would not play Barkley in week 1. His carries are likely to be limited by management, he's probably not in game shape and the Broncos' D-line is good while the Giants O-line is bad.

Zippy/FF: what is your forecast for Dillon. I grabbed him in my leagues.

Hard to say. I probably would keep him on the bench for the 1st game until we get a feel for how they will use him. My guess is he'll be used a lot in short yardage situations - which is good if they're on the goal line but not so much for the other plays. That said I would hold onto him because of the injury potential for Jones. FWIW, he's my RB3 this season.

We'll see who's right. I think playing a rookie WR is significantly more risky than playing Saquon, who I don't think is even hurt anymore.

I think Jamal Williams 2020 season is a reasonable projection for him. He won't have much standalone value but he's a top 2-3 handcuff in the league. He will catch more passes than folks think.

I hope so on the passes. My feeling as well.

Because I refused to grab second tier RBs like Mixon in early rounds I'm actually married to Dillon as a RB2 in one league. I guess the tradeoff is I have AJ Brown, Jefferson, Mark Andrews, and Robert Woods in other slots. I'm hoping for more work when Jones is hurt/resting and just more work generally because he produces when he's out there.

Exactly.. that's why FF finishes 3rd every year

I'm fine stacking my track record up against someone telling folks not to draft AJB, CMC, Saquon, and Kittle, and telling them to grab Logan Thomas instead :lol:

I don't trust Hurts. I think there is a very good chance that he sucks.

We should have invited 312 to the league. You coulda gotten a couple starters and a 1st round pick for your guy Logan it sounds like

3rd ain't bad...

There's more control over your destiny in basketball. In football there's too much chance.

I've played FF for 5 seasons, won money in 4.. 3rd place don't pay shit.. FF can laugh at my do not touch list, I make one every year and it's pretty reliable, not flawless but reliable and I've avoided major disaster with it..let's revisit it in 10 weeks.

I’ve also won money 4 of the last 5 years but been playing for two decades now.

Having CMC on your do not draft list last year was indefensible, but congrats on getting bailed out by luck on a bad process. I’m guessing you wont be as lucky this year.

Fading otherwise healthy players due to perceived injury proneness is simply a bad process and will be a losing one more often than not if you’re playing in a league where people know what they are doing.

By week 10 or 12 one of us will laugh at the other guy.

Apparently Gus Edwards suffered a possible significant knee injury at practice today.

our waivers don't open until next week. He is available but I think they will go with Bell or sign Latavius Murray or take a team approach

best case scenario is a 4-5 WR has a big first week and I can trade him to someone who is deep at RB

For me, there is better value in signing Hubbard or some rookie backup/third stringer like Chris Evans than there is in picking up Freeman.
