Part of me wants to put Saquon and Najee on the list, but part of me is hesitant. I have one share of each, unfortunately in the same league lol. But I'm definitely going to ride it out. They both might take a few games. But there is also a chance neither of them get there this season. The volume for Najee was nice. Holy hell does Danny Dimes suck. Poor Saquon.

Also, go Kupp! I wish I had more than one share.
All great buys, Najee included. Saquon I wouldn't bother touching, just an abysmal team.

Frankly though the league has to be pretty soft if people are signing those guys away after week one. Best time to buy is around week 3-4 when they've put a few stinkers together.

Sad I have no shares:
Kupp
Jamaal Williams (such an obvious RB to target and I had him on my radar but it never worked out for whatever dumb reason).
Lockett: I've owned him every year. Must've been sick of his roller coaster from last season.

Sad I had large shares but I was correct in doing so:
Jeudy

I wouldn't be taking victory laps for Hopkins yet. Look at how evenly distributed that passing game is. Going to be very boom/bust. Picking up Kirk this week will likely be a wasted pickup and will be widely dropped after week 3 or 4.

I wasn't touching Aiyuk in drafts this year at that ADP, I just wish I had had the balls to back that up and take Deebo in more spots than I did.

Claypool I think will be fine, the Steelers just need to stop feeding 20% of Ben's throws to guys like Washington, Gentry, Ebron, etc. Same issue with Titans.

Most definitely would need to be pretty soft to buy this week, but you never know! Some people might have already been hesitant on some of those guys and now they're feeling extra shitty lol. I wouldn't expect it in 2p2 leagues, but I know some dudes here play some pretty soft home leagues.

Agreed on Aiyuk. I never targeted him, or regretfully, Deebo. The funny thing about Deebo is everyone has been talking about how low his ADoT is, yet he made a nice catch on the sidelines and beat the defenders for a 79 yard TD.

But even without that, he would have gone 8 for 110 on the day. Not bad.

Also, in other shocking news, Mostert is now out for 8 weeks. He has chipped cartilage in his knee.

It's going to be a race to pick up Mitchell. I wonder where Sermon will fall into things.

Very curious about this game tonight. Also feels like more than most years, week 1 waivers going to be a spot to unload the clip!

Oh hey is David johnson washed? I have Lindsay, was figuring out what to do.

I also have no clue what to do with Moss/Brieda burning up 2 roster spots, lol. Was thinking this crop of waivers could help that situation as there's a lot of nice gambles to take.

I would have taken Hopkins too.

In my case, Hopkins was gone and it was a choice between Allen and Ridley. I actually had Allen higher on my list. It was a slow draft and I could see that this was going to happen, so I posted about the dilemma in this thread. Consensus was Ridley > Allen. So when the choice came up I went Ridley instead.

I guess it's too early to tell, but I'm not feeling great.

On the other hand, I'm probably gonna pull out my game this week since I hit on pretty much all of my other undervalued guys. Only one that I missed on wasn't starting.

If Ridley and Adams turn it around, I'll have a juggernaut. If not, I'm probably a wild card contender that needs to luckbox a couple of playoff wins.

Hop was my WR3 (Adams, Hill, Hop, Ridley, Diggs, DK).

I have no exposure to him other than in Best Ball. All my season long teams are Superflex and drafts didn't shake out where I could get him.

Need less than 17 from Andrews and Brown. In other words I need to the match the output of my Adams/Ridley/Diggs

Has to be Jacobs. He’s never had less than 17 yards rushing in a game he played.

I mean Sammy should get work since he’s one of the only healthy receivers, but there is actually a chance he puts up a goose egg. I know there were concerns Jacobs is sick, but I saw something earlier saying he would play.

Understatement of the year. Waller, GOAT, Swift and Chase are the only bright spots in my otherwise abysmal roster.

Gah, that was torture, came up very short in two matchups with Waller.

Extremely happy though that I have him, just based on that volume he is going to eat.

Was down so big going into one of my matchups that I mentally wrote it off. Didn't even watch MNF because I had other stuff to do. I decided to find out what happened and it turned out that Darren Waller got me a <1pt win. Just need to fade a stat correction. Feels good to be on the right side of one of these.

Also left a ton of points on my bench in this one, so losing it was getting my jimmies pretty rustled.

I kind of feel cheated that I didn't watch in real time. It would have been an epic sweat.

really depends on how desperate you are at rb. sermon's not going to be a scratch next week. i'm putting in 10-15% where i need someone (e.g. gus teams). i don't know how that equates to old school waivers but switch to faab

Mostert is out 8+ weeks right? Definitely seems promising.

I wish he had been targeted in the passing game, although SF only threw it 26 times and almost half (12) of them went to Deebo.

Sermon will definitely be involved moving forward. I might let other people blow their FAAB/waiver priority where Mitchell is not owned. Especially in one league where I already have Sermon.

Here's my questions:

1) Moss droppable already? It seems really close. We're banking on a guy just making it in, just so he could be 1/5th of carries, maybe? Yikes.

I took him over Jamaal Williams, Cooks, Devonta Smith

2) Hamler over Patrick right?

3) MVS is the WR2 in GB?


I think this week while teams with the 1-2-3-4 waiver priority hesitate, there's a lot of guys available to make up for the Moss's of this draft. Im backfilling for sure.

Sermon seems like a strong hold. Would say buy low but doubt anyone is going to give up after week one.
Could be Sermon just wasn't active because he doesn't play special teams. Mitchell looked good though but not sure I'd blow my wad on him.

1 - in a shallow league maybe. why you took him over williams is odd but who cares

2 - wouldn't say that for sure, i'm not rushing out to pick up either, the broncos are still not good

3 - he may well be, but what is that worth?

Moss probably a drop if there is someone interesting you can pickup. It's just not a valuable backfield.
MVS was getting glowing reviews all camp and had a lot of targets on Sunday. He's one that people may shy away from based on brand-name ala Corey Davis

1) Yeah, imo, Moss wasn't even draftable. I didn't touch him or Singletary. Buff is not fantasy friendly to the RB at all, as evidenced by Singletary's lack of work, even with Moss on the sidelines. He touched it 14 times as the primary back and 33% of his yards for the day came on one play. Buffalo threw it 51 times and ran it 25 times. Allen had 9 of those runs.

Pulled from an article that ran a week ago.

"2A. In each of the past three seasons Buffalo has ranked bottom-3 in team fantasy points scored at the RB position.

2B. Although a hyper-mobile QB might help boost a RB’s YPC, they rarely target their running backs. And can also cannibalize rushing upside with touchdown vultures.

2C. Buffalo’s RBs total just 179 receptions over the past three seasons, which ranks above only four other teams.

2D. Allen has 25 rushing touchdowns since entering the league, while the closest Buffalo RB has only 4 rushing touchdowns over the same span."

2) Dart throw, but I'm probably leaning Patrick due to his size. I guess he's more likely to take on the Jeudy role, but who really knows?

3) It's hard to tell on MVS, but he did get the same amount of targets as Davante. So after week 1, I'd tentatively call him the WR2 on the offense. We should know more after this Sunday.

I think he prob is unless your stacked at rb. I have the #2 claim so I’ll either get him or move up to the #1 claim. The harder question is how much FAB to spend on him. I’m thinking I’ll put out a 20-30% bid, knowing it won’t be enough. I think someone in my leagues will spend 50%+. I don’t trust shanahan enough to bid too much
