I had Tyreek Hill on the bench tonight. Stoopid.

Nice to see the Pats start off with a loss. KC was pretty impressive. Am thinking Smith will get some action off the waiver wire this week, at least in some leagues.
I took Alshon Jeffrey over him

I feel bad for those that drafted Gronk too.
He'll be fine im sure

I am going to stick with Kelse. Witten is on waivers and I have CJ Fiedoroqicz on the bench. Kelce gets 3 weeks to produce before I go another route.

I'm sure he will, however, most people likely took him in Round 2 and I don't think he's going to put up that sort of production this year.

Hunt is good, but I saw nothing that makes me put him in DJs league.

I saw a lot of really good blocks and awful defense from the Pats.
He reminds me more of Andre Ellington (rookie year) than David Johnson.

Hunt is at his best running outside where he can utilize his speed & he's a pretty good receiver when he's got a LB trying to cover him.

I don't think Hunt is going to be successful running between the tackles, but maybe he'll prove me wrong. He should get lots of chances to be their #1 with Spencer Ware down for the year.

He reminded me ..... a little bit at least ..... of Priest Holmes, but that may have just been the jersey and size of the guy.

The guy ran between the tackles just fine at Toldeo & comparing him to Dre is a mistake IMO.

Drafted Gronk.

Drafted Darren McFadden for week 1.

Drafted Jarvis Landry, needed him for week 1.

Passed on Gillisee for who, I forget, maybe a kicker.

I am very poor at Fantasy football. :D

It's such a crap shoot. I love how people boast about being amazing at FF.

He had a great game but I'm not sold yet. Patriots D has so many gaping holes now...

Yep same here. One game isn't going to make me think he's the next DJ.

I will say, 3 people in my league seem to always make the playoffs every year.

One of them took and played hunt while leaving a higher pick RB on the bench.

Some people just pay more attention than others I think. I didnt even know who hunt was until he was drafted.

I never waste a roster spot on a 2nd TE. There is always a TE on waivers when the time comes for your starting TE's bye week. TE don't score much on a regular basis anyways, so getting one later isn't going to killing your team.

It's tough to keep track of all the players coming and going. Plus things can change so much from season to season eg - Arizona Cardinals season last year. I think you can nerd out on FF, I just like to play it for fun but I have a trash talking brother-in-law who I want to shut up so I've been listening to FF weekly now.

Same goes for kickers and defense.

I can't stop picking players I like and passing on players that would give me a better team.

I vow not to have too many Cards on my team and when I'm done drafting there is always at least 2 and often 3 to 4.
Plus there are some players I dislike very much so I don't draft them, like any Seahawk or most Cowboys.

I was smart and took Hunt in my first draft before anyone caught on to who he was and how good he was in college. In my other 3 leagues he was drafted within a few picks of where I had him slated.

That's not indicative of anything other than you being VERY bad at fantasy football. In this day and age where virtually every online, or printed, publication has every player listed and likely had Hunt as a top 2 or 3 round pick you're just not trying if you didn't know who he was. And if you're playing for money I want in on your league please.

Hunt was pretty highly rated, the problem was, Ware was in front of him. Some people thought over time, he would take over for Ware, but obviously that can't be confirmed especially before draft time. Ware got hurt, and immediately he became a great value pick.

It is funny how fast people react. I was easily able to get him in my first two leagues. The last two he went right above I was going to draft him. Should've drafted him earlier, but you know, you try to get deals and all. 2 out of 4 spots, with either or both Johnson and Elliot on the team already, I won't cry.
