yeah, he looked explosive and dangerous. problem is, if I was a DC with Tua out, I would double cover Tyreek and stack the box to keep the run game down. I know Waddle is still a good WR, but hes not a game Breaker like Tyreek. Hes the most dangerous weapon on the team. but the key would be forcing that inexperienced QB to throw the ball as often as possible to give your D their best chance to get turnovers. and taking away the #1 RB and the run game seems like the best way to do it. if the QB shows he can beat you when you play that way, then I'd expect some teams will go away from this but for now, that is the name of the game.

they have ruined a lot of top QB prospects in the last 20 years. thats for sure. This time I figured they were doing a lot of things right. dude has lots of weapons. Line is decent. These are things you want for your QB. in the past they brought in their QB to play behind a subpar line or with no good WR to throw to and that's not good. There are QB coaches and O C's who have a reputation of being good at working with young QB's out there. when you have a young QB I'd not leave it to chance. I'd bring these guys in and make sure that kid has the full chance at success. I am hopeful here with Chicago. Like I said, for the first time I think they may actually be doing things right in terms of developing their young QB. Waldron was behind Geno Smiths turnaround so hes got a history of taking a young QB (one who was on the scrap heap) and turning him into a player. he has also worked on some good teams with good coaches. was in New England years ago when they were good. he was with LA under McVay. so he knows how to run an offense. so we will see. one bad game doesnt define a player. lots of players flop in their first appearance as a pro. we need to remember, the first year is a year of learning. I dont mind if the kid makes a lot of mistakes as long as he learns from those mistakes. Thats the key. but for us, its wait and see. I predict 3 or 4 games where the stat line wont be great and then he will start to show signs of being a player. likely inconsistent at first, but will gradually become more consistent.

I actually liked the scouting report on him better than I did for Caleb. but Caleb has far more talent around him so I blew a lot of cash at auction in the hopes of reaping rewards for some years. in the end, you may have gotten the better player..... but only time will tell

I think the Miami RB's are already down one. given that Achane missed significant time last year, I would at least think about holding him. Achane goes down and he likely gets all the carries he can handle.

I'm surprised they didnt sit him and put out the backup. dont need another injury

honestly the Bills lost a couple guys on D but the Defense still looks to be pretty darn good. Not the best I've seen, but pretty good

actually I thought the WR gave up on the route and stopped running just as he was throwing. so I blame that (at least partly) on the receiver.

first game starting in the NFL is tough for a lot of people. its nerves, and getting comfortable in a new offense where both the offense and Defense run at a faster speed. I almost benched Caleb in week 1 and will likely bench him week 2 but I figure he will come around. its just gonna take a couple weeks

thats the way it should be. you have guys you like at their adp. you wanna make sure you get them, you go take em 1 round before their adp arrives. if you are properly prepared, around any one ADP if you have 2 or 3 targets and one or two of those will sometimes be gone by the time u pick so to some degree pick is largely made for you. if all are gone you will sometimes end up with someone different but I have found a lot of my teams have some crossover in terms of talent.

Yeah, it looks like Puka and Odunze are out and so is Hollywood. but as per the link below, he should be back soon. Second article says he may return this week. so I'd say 1 week max for that. The Tyreek Hill reason for optimism on Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's injury return (clutchpoints.com) Chiefs Andy Reid gives update on ‘Hollywood’ Brown’s injury recovery (usatoday.com) but in the first week, I generally say the best move is to pickup the best player available. or the player that fits the biggest need. Jeudy should be a nice fill in while u wait for hollywood. Not sure you can really fill Puka's shoes. but your WR look like they will be good once healthy. so you really need to tough it out for a week or two until they are back. I agree, there is a good chance someone would probably trade for likely. but I dont know that theyd give full market value until they see him put up another good week. so the pickups you made might be fine. There is also the risk someone wont pay for him and you are stuck with a player you dont need. but given Kelce's age, a solid backup may not actually be a bad idea. tough call. but dont panic, I think your injured players start coming back in a week or two.

I do hope some of you took this advice. Chicago lit it up this week.

these are the leagues where he should have been rostered the most. but after this week 1 I suspect he will be rostered mostly across the board. at the end of the day I dont think this performance is totally out of the range of outcomes for him. hes had good games before but in the end, hes a #2 guy not a # 1 so hes probably a matchup play most weeks.

agree. hes good in deeper leagues. right now hes benefitting from the fact he has a good relationship with Rodgers. the defense blanketed the other options in the pass game fairly effectively.

I won with Caleb as my starting QB. he was bad but I had Reed as my third WR and he went off. Aubrey also had a big week. this more than made up for Calebs bad week 1. the rest of my players achieved or slightly over achieved so it worked out just fine.
