Week 2: NFL
Last week I felt like I had a great lead in picking up Harold Fanning Jr., even if the league mates made fun of me for it.
This week, I don’t really see anything. I’m sitting at ninth out of 10, so I figure I tank it and try to improve my waiver spot for the next week.
It’s obviously crucial for me re: quarterback, but I’m ok losing this week since I really can't beat anybody but no. 10 to waivers and I know he’s not going to pick a QB (I’m possibly trying to get a QB from him via trade).
I will say, if you want league advice:
I have Brandon Aiyuk stashed and I fully believe in putting him on your IR. If you have to keep him on the active fantasy roster, it gets more tricky, but could still be worth it depending on how deep the league is and how good your bench looks. Obviously, I hesitate to start him until Purdy is back.
Cedric Tillman is an ok addition for me. Like, at this point, I would rather have him than Golden, who I have. I will say, I’m sitting on Fannin and Judkins and am not starting them until I see something better in Cleveland. For me, this is a long term stash and I’m not really willing to throw a third Browns player on the bench. But if you do not have Fannin and/or Judkins, I think this is a viable add to wait and see if this offense gets it together.
Elic Ayomanor. I’m tempted to straight up drop Calvin Ridley for this man, but obviously I am trying to trade Ridley, so I don’t want to say that upfront. If you’re in desperate need of a spot start, I think Ayomanor is probably your best choice. I also think he’s the no. 1 WR in this Tennessee offense and absolutely deserves a roster spot. I would be ok with him spot-starting and I absolutely think he needs to be rostered in any leagues 10+. As bad as Cam Ward has been looking, he is the No. 1 target in Tennessee and that makes him a valuable asset. Plus Tennessee will inherently get better as life goes on.
Jayden Higgins. I have zero faith in the Houston Texans or anything of the sort, but you know I love my rookie wide outs. I have him on my team’s roster and I would take him over Burden or Golden at this point. He’s purely just a stash and hope he gets better at this point, but he’s at least showing some signs of life.
Jaydon Blue. I did not draft Jayden Blue in fantasy, but it was purely because I was not presented the opportunity, not because I didn’t want him. If I have him, I would keep him and if I do not have him and somebody else dropped him, I would grab him. I would like to think at some point Dallas realizes who the better back is? Granted, they have been known to do very long things for very long times.
Keenan Allen. I figure he must be sucking Justin off or something. He runs routes like he’s washed, he acts like he’s washed, yet, somehow, he keeps catching passes. I struggle to know what to make of the Chargers right now and I’d only be halfway confident starting Allen, but I think he is absolutely worth a bench spot.
Wan’dale Robinson. I figure the Cowboys defense is atrocious and Robinson and Wilson had an insane start. I don’t think any sort of sustained fantasy projection will happen, but if you’re desperate, sure, you can start him.
Tyler Allgeier. I love him as a spot start, if you’re in desperate need of somebody who can get you fantasy points, I’m all for it. Long-term, I’m iffy, but I think he’s a better roster than a lot of running backs in this league.
