It seems like everyone is going all in week 1. Is this typical?
No. But but my week one triplet blew up last year when my RB literally blew out his knee 1 hour after my post, then my head case WR decided he too didn’t need to play week 1 after trending toward a start all summer camp. So needless to say my time here was short last year.
I noticed a lot of new names on the “unofficial depth charts” . . . I find it’s better to go with “established” players Week 1 and see what stats a lot of these new players (including players changing teams).
Yes, I’m taking a “risk” on Tyreek based on the above statement; but as YT points out–injuries can take you out quickly or change your options later if you don’t use a “big name” sooner than later.
I actually considered using McCaffrey this week before he gets hurt again but wasn’t sure he was healthy from last season. Checked the news on at least 5 different WRs before settling on one I was pretty sure would at least play week one. I think with the shorter preseason and even more “starters” getting virtually no pre season reps adds to the week 1 mystery.
Speaking of which . . .

I’m in 
QB Joe Burrow CIN
RB D’Andre Swift DET
WR Mike Williams LAC
Let’s go!!!
QB Ryan
RB Cook
WR Pittman Jr
I agree it seems like people are bringing much stronger triplets than usual for week 1
I don’t like it. I always go for a cheapo bargain bin week 1
Especially since only 1 player is eliminated
I felt I went middle of the pack
The L-A-M, the A and the R, the man on the mic they call Lamar
Antonio Gibson acoustic
Travis (Bickle) Kelce
I wonder how well Lamar will play given the lack of a contract extension from Baltimore.
For the sake of my actual fantasy football team, I hope extremely well
QB LJackson
RB CMcCaffrey
WR AJBrown
And we’re up to 13… hopefully we’ll get enough to play full season! :nervous:

UltAnyone LJackson CMcCaffrey AJBrownI recall last year you wrote an encouraging personal message to all the prior year participants which enabled ppl to rejoin…
This year I accidentally stumbled onto the thread… I didn’t even remember it.
and we can have weeks w/o elimination, but a booster. Maybe smaller boosters for 2nd & 3rd or even a negative booster for last. To keep someone from just using guys they would never consider in an elimination week
I did do that 
(albeit a little later in the week after some folks, such as yourself, had already made picks… :blush :).
Could be others like me planning to make picks later.
And if you are reading this and not planning to play, why not? Its a fun game.
