Funny thing is I got Julio because someone took Dez ahead of me. Had Dez been on the board he was the one I was targeting. Dumb luck but I'll take it. But I got burned last year when I took Monte Ball as my #1 pick and we all know what happened there. Karma might be giving a bit of payback this year - at least until Julio tears an ACL or something hideous.....

Knowing your team has a chance to win every game every year is a great feeling

I think Bell's a free agent. Def not on the Broncos.

Yup. SOMEHOW he dropped to 10th. I had 9th pick and decided to go with Anderson since he put up massive points for me last season and hope he'd do the same, plus no 2 game suspension. Oh wellz.

They're going to have to assissinate Belichick if they want to take the feeling you can win every week away.

Who'd you all get on waivers. I'm sure James Jones and CJ2K were taken.

I picked up Ronnie Hillman since I have CJA.

I'm closely watching David Johnson in AZ. I think he'll get more touches in the long run than CJ2K.

James Jones was drafted in my league. Drafting Ellington it was only a matter of time before he got hurt. The second free agency opened I picked up CJ2K and Stevie Johnson

They'll both be on my bench but you always need legit backups


Edit: David Johnson was also drafted. If hes available take him over CJ2K

Dang Hillman was there. He was drafted in both of my leagues. But yeah I think DJ>CJ in the long run.

Only for the AZ league. And those are usually no fun since nobody wants to show their cards

Anyone know about the RB situation in St. Louis?

From what I can gather, currently Mason is the starter (injured), Cunningham the backup, and Gurley kind of like an X factor. He'll slowly get more and more reps.

But one of my buddies thinks Gurley will be the starter once he's healthy.

I ask because I have Mason stashed. If he is going to be a backup, I am considering dropping him and stashing David Johnson. But then again, Mason should be good to go this week or next and if he does well, I can see them keeping him #1. And Gurley should be out a couple more weeks, I think. If this becomes another clusterfuck by committee then I'm definitely all for dropping Mason for Johnson. But it seems like it is one of those these where we have to just wait and see how it unfolds.

^^^This. I also had CJ2K and Dion Lewis queued up in case Hillman was gone. I had some reservations about the order I had them queued (since being a Broncos homer can sometimes alter my FF views) but this morning I saw that both CJ2K and Lewis were taken before my waiver spot anyway.

Now I'm just hoping that my TNF curse from last year is gone. I have CJ, Demaryius, Broncos DST, and Kelce playing tomorrow night.

The only problem with Dion Lewis is Blunt being back from suspension so who knows how many snaps he'll see

I read Mason was going to start Week 1 but went on Inactive list last minute so he "should" be good to go this week and start. The only question is if he'll be thrown in with the bulk or share with Cunningham.

I think fantasy talk is 50% of this forum, so we keep it alive. More like 90% if you take out deflategate stuff.

I haven't been in a ff league in a number of years but it seems to have exploded in popularity in just the past two or three.

I've been playing in a the same league with friends for 9 years. I never really cared much at all until last year when we started putting money on the line. Then I was all in and started paying much more attention and it paid off

I admit I think it's fun and takes research and strategerizingry.
