Huntsville, Ala (MC) — Nothing hits harder than the fear of being stuck with a bad fantasy team for an entire season.
During the draft process, owners spend minutes and sometimes even hours researching which Arizona Cardinals’ running back will lead them to the promised land. Unfortunately, James Conner was off the board before most even had the chance to consider selecting him. That’s the nature of the beast in this game we call life.
Now let’s get into the stuff that everyone cares about — my team.
I had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting up with my good pal Jack Staub in Week 1. Records will show that I have historically dominated Jack, run the numbers. But Staub’s squad is actually halfway decent this season and the majority of his team beat their projections to turn in a 135-point week. Keep in mind, Jack also had Jayden Reed and his 31-point week on his bench.
On my side of the equation, I can’t be too upset. My team found a way to put up 123 points, despite absolute stinkers from Javonte Williams (2.8), Chris Olave (2.1) and Evan Engram (1.0). That being said, I have no idea how the Saints put up 47 points without Olave even scoring once. It just doesn’t make sense.
But that was then and this is now. Week 2 is upon us and the great bidding war of the Ravens’ TE2 is over. A wild $32 bid was enough to snag Isaiah Likely for Lebron. Keep in mind Boobs, that is nearly 1/3 of your allotment for the season used in one bid for Baltimore’s second tight end.
Clearly, Lebron was not the only one in panic mode. Five members of the league submitted offers for Likely, with Ryan, Brent and Abie all submitting double figure offers for the same candidate. Surely this won’t be the last bidding war of the fantasy season.
Lastly, I don’t know how I am expected to make it through the rest of my week knowing that I haven’t heard a second of League Talk. I know that things will be different with the departure of Beans (RIP) but I still need that chatter in my life on my long drives to and from Auburn and Tuscaloosa. Please, for the love of god, get on the mic.
Must Be Sunday
