Season Long Update

After two weeks it is always good practice to look at your season long team and evaluate all of your situations. Do you have dead weight on your bench? Did you kicker get cut? Does your team need fixed before it is too late? One game is too small of a sample size to make any rash decisions. I feel your team should essentially play itself unless bye weeks and injuries make decisions difficult. If you never know who to play you will keep second guessing yourself and making the wrong decision.  Make sure you read weekly rankings and don’t do something to prove how smart you are. If every fantasy ranker has a WR at eight and you want to play a guy ranked 45th, what are you even doing? Go split a 20 in blackjack if you are trying to do crazy stuff like that. Can it work? Sure, in the short term, but in the long run you will be a losing player.

In terms of my most drafted players from a few blogs ago, I feel pretty good. Tyler Lockett is WR24 despite being draft in the last few rounds of drafts. If you can still add him in your league I would. Pat Mahomes is a homerun. HE HAS 10 TOUCHDOWNS IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. Mahomes was drafted in the QB16 range. TY Hilton was taken in rounds 3-5 and is currently WR19. He has basically lived up to expectations at this point, which I am happy with. Despite scoring two touchdowns this weekend Chris Hogan has underachieved. He is WR49 and was supposed to be a PPR monster.  Chris Thompson is current RB5 in PPR leagues. Yes, you read that right. FIVE! He has played for my best ball teams but I have yet to actually play him in any of my season long leagues. My one big miss appears to be Jack Doyle. His production has actually been stunted by Eric Ebron and he is currently TE17. That is not massively lower than where he was drafted, but it’s not ideal either.

Week 3 ADDS
Bears Defense  – They play the Cardinals who have 6 points in two games.
Will Dissly TE SEA – I thought maybe one week fluke. Seattle is so bad they will be throwing every game.
Fitzmagic QB TB – This will end eventually…right?
Quincy Enunwa WR NYJ- The targets are real.
Gio Bernard RB CIN – Must add.

Computer record update!

After two weeks the computer algorithm has the following record.

Overall 18-13-1 58.06%
Platinum 1-3 25%
Premium 1-2 33%

Meanwhile the Steelers seem to be falling apart. I have faith. I will happily lay the one point in Tampa Bay on Monday night. But this is most Steeler fans right now.IMG_1942
