Who are you intrigued by?

Curtis samuel for me. Also jaylen warren, IF hes the guy. I think @FaCe-LeE-uS may be right and Najee is more hurt than theyre letting on.

High hopes for Sammy Watkins unsurprisingly washed.

I have bids for Samuel, then Robby Anderson in my home league.

I doubt there’s “a guy” for Pittsburgh, but you guys would know more than me. I have Najee in the same home league, but have Hunt and Patterson available.

From what I have heard Najee is OK, but you guys would have your finger on the pulse more than I would. Jeff Wilson is the hot RB to grab from what I am hearing. Mitchell is supposed to be out for 2 months?

Desperate for a WR in one league and I think I am cutting Rondale Moore and Randall Cobb. These are the top options...

C. Samuel
Robbie A
D. Carter (LAC)
K. Phillips
Zay Jones
Donovan People-Jones

They are pretty much in order of how I like them, but not sure if I should flip the top 2. I am 12th on the ww.

In the same boat with Watkins. I took Cobb, too, in case he was the one who blew up. I have a feeling we should be a little more patient, but I don't think I can afford to with my WRs in this one league. I could see Green Bay coming out and lighting it up. ARod sucked last year in the opener, too, then came out and threw 4 TDs in game 2.

I meant to add Josh Palmer to that list above. I would put him right next to Carter with the question about which one of them steps up while Keenan Allen is out.

my top 3 would be

1. Warren- just because he is a RB on a team that wants to and needs to run
2. Palmer- he was already taken in many leagues as a sleeper... but without allen he is the clear next man up on a high powered offense
3. Robby(changed his name during the off-season) Anderson- again taken in many leagues, and team wants to run, but it is a bad team and needs to throw... he is their WR2 on a team with no other options to throw to besides Moore and McCaffrey

past those three i would probably not take anyone...

Wondering why people are higher on Warren than Wilson. We know Mitchell is out about 2 months. From what I am seeing, Najee might miss 1 game, but he says he is fine. Wilson has produced before as a handcuff. I can understand wanting to pick him up, but I think Wilson has to be at the top of the list if you need a RB.

Tomlin likes to run a bellcow. Id expect whoever gets the nod to see significant work.

I avoid sf rbs. Injuries, and just shanahan. If you are correct, u can hit, but man, no thanks to that yearly headache. Pgh rbs are always productive, in part bc of the volume.

Afraid of Shanahanigans, probably.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

This is the 2nd year in a row that Aaron Rodgers started with less than 5 fantasy points in week 1. I still think Lazard is the guy, hopefully he plays in week 2.

As for the Wilson discussion, i do not trust Shanny at all. For all we know, we'll see more Deebo. Trey Lance threw a few nice passes, but if he cant beat the Bears... the focus for opposing defenses may be to stop the run and let Lance show he can throw. Probably not the time to invest in SF RB.

I lost Dak. I need to find me a capable QB in the interum. Wentz, Goff, Trubs, Brissett, D. Jones, Geno...

I'm confused about the Najee injury... Is it his foot again (Lisfranc) or an ankle injury now? Either way if he's out there is definitely going to be some sort of timeshare. Warren & Snell, and right now I'd guess that's a 50-50 split of the load. I like Warren's vision more, but the OL doesn't make either player very appealing. I'd avoid them unless I was low on waiver priority & desperate for RB help.

Curtis Samuel is definitely high on the priority.

right now... Wentz or Goff... I like Goff best, but wentz and the Commanders look like they will be throwing more than any other team...

I am debating on starting Wentz over Lance and Lawrence this week... Will have to drop one... probably lawrence...

Looking for a Godwin sub for while he's out. The list of available WRs is this

Julio Jones
Curtis Samuel
Jahan Dotson
Robbie Anderson
Josh Palmer
DJ Chark
Zay Jones
Donovan People-Jones

Pretty good options all around but that also makes it tough. Despite being injured the last couple of years, I'm sorta leaning Julio right now. He seemed to have a pretty rapport with Brady, especially when Godwin went out. And out of all the other WR options and their QBs, I trust Brady the most.

Btw, its half ppr
