Ahh The Wire. It’s good to be back, folks. I’m in a new apartment but it’s still the same deal as last year; I’ll tell you where you went wrong or right while waiting to watch the weekly wonder that is these world-famous warriors rushing and whirling that wobbly ball all over the goddamn place. It’s been about 2 hours in the making so far and I’ve been listening to the end of Season 12 of Family Guy in the background (Chris dating Jerome’s daughter, Peter and Meg bonding on a college trip, Cleveland coming back to Quahog, Stewie using his time machine to be in a British family). So let’s get this thing going!
First week is such a crap shoot, nobody knows who’s doing what and everyone wants to start the guys they drafted for the most part. Basically this should be pretty short. The only FAAB used in the lead up to opening day was from the host of our podcast, League Talk, Brendan “Beans” Cahill. He spent $3 on the Browns D/ST, who scored 8 points compared to the Steelers’ 22. It wouldn’t have saved his week anyway since he lost by more than 40, so it’s not the worst way to spend your FAAB. We’ll call it Week 1 jitters, but it might have been Zyn.
Literally no one made any moves that would have made or broken their week, the closest was Brent swapping Green Bay’s defense for Denver’s and getting a 7 point swing. If Brent had started GB then he would have only won by 4 points, which would have been the closest margin this week, but that’s just a hypothetical. Abie made a good move by grabbing the legend Pat Freiermuth for a quick 10 points, but he won by 28. We’ll see how he pans out if Abie decides to keep him, basically how fantasy football works. Everyone except him and kickers and defense sat out in The League after being acquired by the various managers, so we’re all playing some wait-and-see as should be expected.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I think that’s it. I don’t want to write anymore. Since it’s Week 1 there isn’t really any other graphs and stuff to include. Have a nice Friday, listen to the pod when it drops, Go League.
