Not sure if I can comment on Carolina @ Denver right now, so I'll use spoiler tags.

Very frustrating night to have Brandon McManus as your kicker. The Broncos lost possession at least three times in field goal range.

Pretty good night to have

CJ Anderson

....:P

The fact that I done it on purpose makes it all the worse! the Chicago secondary better be as bad as everyone is saying, expecting a big game from Brock

Edelman's projected points (6.10) haven't changed since Gronk was confirmed as inactive. Am I wrong to think Gronk's absence should increase Edelman's targets?

Where you're wrong is to be looking at the projected points at all. They're generally way off the mark.

It feels good to have NFL Sundays back!

I need miracles from my remaining players to win this week.

thomond2006

Not a bad week 1, unlucky that my opponent had a great week.

My team went frickin bananas, long may it continue (it won't, I know)! I was regretting taking a QB early in Luck, and regretted taking Cooks too... Fantasy eh?!

Yeah Cook had a great weekend, I'd picked him up in another league. AJ Green also had a massive score for who ever picked him

You taught me a lesson. Fair dues.

lost my week one match by 2 points, I left 51 points sitting on my bench:(

The joys of fantasy football!

It was a strange enough week in that some of the heavy hitters had relatively quiet weeks (A. Peterson, Gurley, Freeman, J. Jones), while 'unfancied' players like Carlos Hyde, DeMarco Murray, Melvin Gordon exceeded expectations.

I beat Okoyes Parking Space 91.28 - 89.86. Talk about a close call!

Brown and Hyde saved me last night.

Ya was extremely tight. I thought I'd be waking up this morning to a loss.

That was gutting for me.

In a 49ers bar at 1am shouting at the TV to take Hyde out of the game. 21-0 up with 5 minutes to go and of course he comes up with a TD with his last touch before they withdraw him. As someone said - the joys of fantasy football.

Somewhat concerned about my Gurley pick now, the Rams were doing absolutely nothing to give him a chance to run. The 49ers defense looked decent last night but you’d expect they’d be up against even stronger with the Cardinals and Hawks in their division.

Watching Gurley last season, I still think you'll be safe enough with him. Teams were stacking the box and he was still getting over 100 yards in games.

I can't see Rams sticking with Keenum for much longer either. Goff surely has to be pushing up the pecking order soon and taking some pressure off Gurley.

Devonta Freeman did nothing at the weekend. Worrying for me as my other starting RB is Shane Vereen who shares snaps.

Foxtrol

Just realised the waiver rules. Every league I played in previously the person with the worst record got first in line. Much better to keep things somewhat even and keep people involved than continuously rolling it week by week.

NapoleonInRags

Feck it anyway....not only did I lose by 1 point but my first pick Adrian Peterson is now crocked.

Anyone interested in trading one of my playes for a running back? My team is North Eats Pats........

Beefy78

I've got McKinnon who is likely to get AP's snaps for the Vikings. I've sent you an offer.

Cheers for the offer - the latest news on AP is a bit better - looks like a torn meniscus which means he could be back sooner than expected.

I'll give it a couple more days and see what happens.

I have put my two quarter backs on the trading block.

Big Ben and Matt Ryan.

For those that don't know, Matt Ice is the highest fantasy scorer so far in the whole NFL. Big Ben must be favourite to be the highest for the remainder of the year.

I will listen to anybody offering me a running back for one of them.

I am White Star Rovers, by the way!

Beefy78

Damn you - I was going to offer up one of Russell Wilson or Matt Stafford

I seen you have Danny Woodhead. Tough break with him going to IR, he was playing well

That, along with the absenteeism of Chris Ivory, goes some way to explaining my predicament. I think an RB-rich team and I can do a mutually beneficial deal.

there seems to be a real shortage of quality fantasy RBs this year, I'm one injury away from a disaster!

Have the Jags said whats wrong with Ivory? He was a gameday decision week 1 and then it turned out he'd been hospitalized

So much for the zero rb drafting strategy!

thomond2006

Atlanta's running back by committee is killing me. Devonta Freeman was a high auto-pick in the draft.
