Well these are the two teams that I am running with this year to start the year.

My Salmon Sharks team, I think I want to drop a WR and Pick up our Browns Def.

Did you have the first pick in both leagues?

haha how you'd guess? yup first time ever...was glorious.

David Johnson in both leagues.

oh good call. I thought it was the Brady, Brees back to back picks.

or the Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott, Dez Bryant picks back to back to back lol

good draft for me this year

Still trying to decide if Johnson or Bell is the first pick for me in one league. I'm leaning Johnson too

When in doubt, choose the guy that doesn't force you to root for the Steelers in any capacity.

Thinking w/your heart in business decisions is dumb.

either Bell or Johnson bro...both should get you a ton of points...I had both Bell and Murray on my team last year, on one of my teams.

Sounds like a good reason to have a "heartless lawyer" make roster decisions to me

I did pick up the Browns defense with my last pick... Figured with a new DC and a heck of a front they could have a pretty good year...

I am with ya. think I might just pick up the Browns Def. and play match-ups with them.

Ouch

Ouch as in

I got the first pick in two drafts, picked RB D. Johnson (ARI). then he is hurt for the season, with all good RB's taken already?

Or ouch as in

I picked up the Browns def.?

Might want to see if Alvin Kamara is available in your league, especially for this upcoming game vs Patriots. Should be high scoring and he can catch out of the backfield.

Or James White for the same reasons. Game flow and receiving ability. I'm assuming most of the other more commonly known/highly owned RBs are gone, so just trying to throw out some helpful options for this week. Tevin Coleman would be another one. He got 40% of the reps last week and they're playing in a game, like NE-NO, should be very high scoring.

Thanks for the tips. ill be taking a look later tonight

Should I start Maclin (v Jax) or Kupp (v SF) this week? My other WR is Julio Jones and I have Tyreek Hill as my Flex. I am thinking Kupp as the Niners defense sucks but, it's always a gamble with a rookie vs a vet.

Also, I do have Crow, but, after last weeks game I picked up Javorius Allen. Should I run him against Jags or Crow against Indy? Such a crap shoot. I only picked up Crow as he nearly ran for 1k on a 1-15 squad. So far he has brought jack.

In my work league I won week 1 but, got killed week 2. So, really need to win this week.

I would go with maclin and Allen myself. I started kupp last week an got burned.

Indy's def is good. And jags def got ripped apart.

That an our run game is absent

This is my first year playing FFB (ESPN) and I have realized it is such a crap shoot! It's fun though and it has made about 12 or so of us at work talk and get together more regularly, which is good for collegial bonding.

Regarding the whole crapshoot thing from week to week: I own Ryan and Cousins. I have stuck with Ryan simply because he has better WRs but, I am realizing that ATL's offense misses Shanny. Meanwhile, Cousins, even with underachieving WRs, scored a ton of points on my bench! I also have Kamara....one week I choose not to start him and he runs wild, next week he brings in just a few. However, I do have Tyreek Hill and Duke Johnson and both have been reliable point earners for me.
