I understand, it should have caught my eye. Still I did expand my initial offer, but just because asking costs nothing.

I'll use my words next time (but there won't be a next time for auto drafting).

so is there a fantasy league or what?

I have a free spot on the PnR league. Drafting 7.30 today, so in an hour. If you want in, I send you the invite link.

Snake draft, PPR, spots are 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 Def. Nothing fancy.

Anyone else running an ESPN hopefully ppr league this week? I was retired from fantasy football for 2 decades and then played the last 2 with church guys, don't like the online ones with people I don't know but don't even consider this forum until now. If not all good.

Everybody seems to be ready to score points Week One except URINAL CAKE TEAM. He needs to notice Colts RB-Taylor is not going to play first 4 weeks per injury news. That's a big Zero points that need to go into bench or injured list if possible, and get some points in starting line-up. I'm sure he will make needed adjustments, Other than that, everybody else looks ready to put up points Week One.

Tonight we start with Super Bowl Chiefs vs Lions which is on regular TV on NBC. Of course Battle For Ohio Sunday.

Just had to start the season off with a bad decision, Christian Watsons injury scared me into starting a KC WR, big mistake.

With FLEX-eligible Khalil Herbert on the bench? Yeah that is a weird one. Skyy has a limit :)

Yes he does, saw he was the starting guy all camp and with Kelce out I figured he'd get a ton of looks. Boy was I wrong 

Always next week!

Well, you still have Jefferson who could put up 40 fantasy points in one game.  Plus I have players who could also perform under Yahoo projections.  I would have drafted Sky late in draft.  He is fast and at some point I think Mahomes may start going to him as he use to go to Hill.  However no Hill or Kelce last night made the Chiefs look average.  Imagine us without Chase and Higgins.  When Mahomes is running in trouble, Kelce comes back or gets open and Mahomes escapes with those just in time passes to Kelce.  Last night Daddy Wasn't There, and Chiefs really missed Kelce, plus Hill with Miami.   I do look for Sky to become a big part of that offense.  They need someone fast like Hill, and that is where Sky comes in and why they drafted him. 

Anyway, in our first week battle, I see you still have Jefferson and he was easily this leagues MVP last year.  I had NFL MVP Mahomes last year, but in our league, Jefferson was the MVP on fantasy points.  If he puts up 40 points for you Bob Jones, it would not surprise me.  If I had picked #1, I would have taken Jefferson.  The Vikings throw to him so much.  I had Theilan last year who got no passes due to Jefferson, and he might do better now on a different team. He is still good, but this Jefferson came along and got all the passes.  I swear, it's like 70 % of Vikings plays are to Jefferson. All you hear all game is Jefferson, but he keeps beating the defense. So you have the best player in the draft ready to explode for big points, and Jefferson worries me in our match-up this week.

I always seem to lose week 1 matchups every year, hell I might have lost to you week 1 last year as well.

Hoping for some magic from my remaining players but if not then I'll look to rebound week 2.

Also I'll take a loss in fantasy every week if it means the Chiefs lose 

What just happened last night? Did I see that?

Nick Bosa signs with 49ers

If I didn't already have TJ Watt, I would be grabbing Bosa. I've considered dropping a bench offensive player to add Bosa. Bosa is Fantasy D Player Monster and should put up great points at D Player. I know he will get Tackles, Sacks, Fumbles, even Interceptions. I'm tempted to start season with Watt and Bosa which would be great depth at D player, but I can't pull the trigger on giving up an offensive player with us now on smaller rosters. Already I see how smaller rosters improves free agency and some good free agents out there very tempting to add.

I would love to add Nick Bosa now that 49ers resigned him finally. Dude is a future Hall of Famer like a Dick Butkus or Lawrence Taylor. I have Watt, but hard to say who is better, Watt or Bosa. I'd like to have both and one on my bench, but that's too much of a luxury now with smaller rosters, as it should be.

Thank you for your league wide micromanagement.  

Nick Folk as a kicker is trying to outscore my entire fantasy roster.

I had Burrow and Higgins who put up no fantasy points against Browns today.  So you win Bob Jones.   This does not mean I trade Burrow or Higgins, but Browns shutting them down completely means you win Week One, Bob Jones.
