With many Teams' draft picks getting injured or under performing, I noticed many of you have made adjustments to your lineups and dropped / picked up new players on Waivers.  The season is still young, and these pick-ups may give the boost your Team needs!

Team Chris- 1.  Dropped: Isaiah Croweell
                          Added: Matt Breida
                     2.  Dropped: Chargers D/ST

The smack talk was on this week in the new group text!
I'm glad that all of us are now able to engage with one another each week.

Jon sent the Doll Head (Mori Family heirloom) to Uncle D which we mounted to the FFL Championship trophy base.  It will be unveiled prior to Playoffs.____________________________

The Week 3 Lineups are:

As always, keep an eye out on your players who are listed as Questionable, and we hope you all have a great week!

Week 1 Summary / Week 2 Preview

Fantasy Football Week 1 is officially in the books and this week brought much excitement (as well as disappointment) for the starters of each team.  

As of the end of Week 1, these are the current Standings:

Faith had the highest total number of points with a whopping 167.3 points!

While many players outperformed their projections, many players fell way short of their total projected points (looking at you Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce, Jimmy Graham, and Evan Engram).  

For Uncle D, his first round pick Le'veon Bell did not even play this week, and as of writing has still not even signed his contract!  

___________________________

Speaking of first round picks, let's see how everyone's first round pick did Week 1:

(In Order according to Draft):
1. Dave - Todd Gurley: 23.7 Points
2.  Uncle D - Le'Veon Bell: ... let's not talk about it.
3.  Brian - Antonio Brown: 24.3 Points
4.  Jon - David Johnson: 17.7 Points
5.  Erica - Ezekiel Elliot: 17.6 Points
6.  Faith - Alvin Kamara: 43.1 Points
7.  Chris- Saquon Barkley: 20.8 Points
8.  Jenna- Julio Jones: 28 Points

TE: Rob Gronkowski w/ 23.3 Points (Team Brian)
Defense / Special Teams: Vikings w/ 18 Points (Team Jon)
Kicker: Greg Zuerlein w/ 16 Points (Team Brian)

____________________________

There was a good amount of lighthearted smack talk during the weekend, and many outcomes were decided by the Monday night match-ups. 

As a league note, I am going to start a new group text to include everyone in the league (because Faith and I were not in last week's group text).

The Week 2 Lineups are:

As made evident last week, the projections do not really mean much but keep an eye out if you have any possibly injured players.

I'm sure many of you will be adjusting your lineups this week as I noticed many of your bench players outperformed your starters (refer to top image 😉)
