So .. you didn't "jump" on NO TE J. Johnson, nor CLE TE H. Fannin in waivers last week?

Dak. I'm also rolling with him over Nix, FWIW.

I have Pearsall, and am planning on FLEXing him. FWIW, JAX WR1 B. Thomas had BETTER statistics with Jones than with Lawrence.

Yeah .. I thought about that transaction more than at WR.. If NO had someone better at QB, I'd have probably gone that route. Also, Fannin apparently lines up everywhere; Njoku and he are not "exclusive."

So .. I thought I'd create new series of weekly threads. I'll do one each week, to see what peeps are doing regarding free-agent / waiver-wire (WW) requests. Thankfully, for week 1, I'll just be bettering my bench – no injuries! (I'm looking at YOU, George Kittle!) Upgrade 1, at WR: I'm near Boston, and watched the LVR @ NE game. Ugh.. I drafted WR D. Douglas as a “PPR cheat code,” and his stat line was 2, -2, TD. Hence, I'm going to try and upgrade to K. Boutte, also on NE. My fall-back is LAC's RZ option, WR Q. Johnson. Upgrade 2, at TE: I drafted HOU TE Schultz as my TE, because of how beat up HOU's WR room is. Again – ugh ..; he was out-snapped by Cade Stover?? So, I'm going to try and upgrade to CLE TE2 H. Fannin. Everything that I read is that he's a .. pocket-knife. Lines up all over the formation. My fall-back is NO TE1 J. Johnson (possible first option .. but I like Flacco as the better QB). What are others doing for Week 1 WW activity?

Where's the love?? 50 views, and no responses? There have to be other Nix owners who are considering their QB2s this week..

I watched the TNF game, and Dak looked GOOD. I did NOT watch the Denver game .. but Nix's stats were AWFUL.. Historically, Dak has "lit up" the G-Men for 400 yards and FIVE TDs! Also: the G-Men's offense last week was .. offensive. They couldn't get ANYTHING going. So, DAL should have the ball a ton.

AT LEAST 2 or 3 times, he used the term "coverage sack." BUT - in each instance, Green Bay's defense did NOT sack DET QB J. Goff?? What he SHOUD HAVE said was something like "GB's secondary is blanketing the DET WRs.."

0MFG.. That had to be one of the worst called games I've ever seen. NEITHER ONE could verbalize "sixth overall pick" nor "sixth round pick" accurately. Calling out the wrong names of players, post play call. Etc.

King Henry!!

I'd wait at least a week to see who gets the carries in JAX. So - Golden.

Update 1: websites I use for Player Rankings are available. Across the board, peeps favor Nix, with Dak right at the QB1/2 borderline. I just took a look at DAL QB's / Cooper's stats from last year, and they were HORRIFIC.. Yeah, I know Dak is markedly better .. but now PHI's defensive players are in year 2 of the DC's system, and will more be reacting, vs. thinking and then reacting. Also, DAL has no semblance of a run game. Still likely rollin' with Nix.

I usually take a look at each team's pass rankings, and player's historical performances, when setting line-ups. The latter is .. seldom existant, with Nix being a Year 2 player. Both DEN and DAL go up against Top-2 defenses vs. the pass. Dallas has a higher team pass rating than DEN - but, Nix does use his legs. So - historically, Dak has QB1 weeks vs. PHI. He passes for 300 to 400 yards against the Eagles, with 2 to 3 TDs. Dak has a VERY viable WR2 this season, in Pickens, too. So .. go with my QB2 / Dak in Week 1? Or go with Bo Nix, who should see a lot of offensive snaps, if DEN's defense holds TEN to a ton of 3-and-outs? Leave YOUR link / concerns with Week 1 lineups; I reply!

I saw this USA Today article. Some good ones I might use are below: The 250 best fantasy football team names for 2025 Here Comes McBride Conner Artist McBrides Maids Baby Dak Ribs Dak to the Future The Dakstreet Boys Hot to Bo Nix-elodeon Sutton for Punishment Courtland's in Session Orange Pony Club Barkley and the Beast A Bar-kley Song Oh Saquon You See The Field Goal Factory

White: McBride slid to the 3rd round (3.02); a guy took CIN QB Burrow in the 2nd. Next RBs taken after Conner: Cook, Chase B., and Kamara. WRs after Sutton: DK Metcalf, Flowers, and Jameson W. Fields can't hit the side of a barn.. Not interested! SF's WR room is a mess / triage room. So is TB's. I actually think Palmer could be Diggs-esque in BUF. Again, who else is there?? Yeah - W-Rob and Douglas are pure PPR cheat codes.. The guy at 1.03 sniped both Benson and Shipley on me.. I suppose I'm putting a lot of faith in RBs drafted this Spring, vs. the (remaining) veterans on the teams. It worked out for JCM; I'll see for the other two. ALSO: there are ALWAYS in-season injuries, and WW FA pickups to consider! Thanks for the feedback.
