Who’s teams are in shambles already?

[pipeman 18]

Week 1 is in the books, and I’m already combing through the waiver crumbs to stay alive. 
Dobbins gone. Ekeler, Gainwell, Cooper on the pine. Wilson downgraded by Rodgers injury.

Starting RB’s Rachaad and Raheem… I’m doomed.

Anyone else looking forward to 2024 already?

[kilroy69 1,215]

I have had years like this. It is important to use the waiver wire early and often. Speculate on players. Take backups like Jerome Ford in case the Chubbers gets hurt. 

 

 

 

[GobbleDog 976]

Ya only lost Dobbins.  The others will be back.

I'm also hurting after drafting Wilson with an early 2nd rounder. But nobody makes it through a season without some problems.   

[Chickie 74]

Anyone else nervous and jerky about how! If at all, the AJ Brown/Jalen Hurts saga is gonna play out?

[Super Cubs 153]

Injury bug as hit me at WR/flex with Watson and Cooks. I just wish they would announce which players are out so I can IR them and make proper adjustments.

Not a bit. Brown finishes top 10 Wr and Hurts top 5 Qb. 

What makes ya think otherwise? Slow start?  Meh...

Brown came to the sideline and pulled some diva sh1t while the Eagles were winning handily... could potentially be a problem down the road, but who knows

No, as one former Eagle said "Getcha Popcorn Ready!"

I've been saying all off season that the eagles were gonna struggle compared to last season.

It's not cost them yet, but if they're squabbling like this during a win, just imagine how it's gonna be when they lose a game or two

[IGotWorms 4,057]

Not even injuries either. I just drafted a sh1t team.

Haven’t had one this bad in a decade 

[ZeroTolerance 584]

I might have one...Burrow coming up lame again, Adams concussed, Barkley getting his leg folded in half, and Montgomery going down as well. I may have to start Antonio Gibson next week with all of these injuries. I stand a fair chance of pulling off the impressive fewest points - most points - fewest points week 1-3.

[Law 241]

Don't you know? No one on this forearm ever loses!

 

[rallo 136]

14 man league with deep benches, I'm looking at Herbert, Akers, and Javonte as my RBs... woof... Hopefully one of my lottery tickets hits or it could be a long season.

[Ehlana 25]

Yeah, Team Questionable is well on its way. Davante Adams, Saquon Barkley, Austin Ekeler and Amari Cooper. At least Must Start Mostert filled in for Cooper this week.

Both of them should be fantastic. Try less caffeine.

Generally that’s very good news for the ff deva owners, next week AJ Brown might reach double digit targets.

Congrats with Mostert he had a fantastic game.

Man I hope you took this advice. 

[Slappy19 0]

I drafted Cupp, Chubb, Dobbins, Montgomery. 

[JT88-3013 12]

Count me in...Burrow (Higgins) , Waller, Waddle, Montgomery 

[Chickie 74]

Lost Jamal Williams , whom I thought would be the unquestioned lead back for 4 weeks, but caught a break with Ford on my bench.  Sitting Ford next week vs that Tennessee run D. Lost Diontae, Waddle, maybe hope not. Gotta replace Burrow with the likes of either Stafford or Carr ( no RBs) off WW. Actually lost JaMar’s stack with Burrow, if you look at it that way. Sad when your FF season is over before your FB playoff season is over.

this is an example of why RB depth is so important in fantasy football.

Nope…but question is, what moves did you make after week 1 when Dobbins, Ekler and Gainwell injured ?  Some big ww names out there in most leagues, 12t and lower…  

 

[Super Cubs 153]

I kept Burrow, Chubb, Montgomery, C Watson,

Seven bench spots keeps the waiver pool pretty shallow, but I did pick up Moss last week. I'll be starting two from Mostert, White, Warren, Gainwell and Moss while Ekeler is out.
