Little over a month away and haven’t seen a thread dedicated to week 1. (Just came back to dfs and rotogrinders after taking the baseball season off) I am getting excited and have already started research but can’t find a good week 1 thread. So let’s go.
Top 5 picks that I am having much exposure too. Fwiw.
A.P
Sam Bradford
Eddie Lacy
Matt Forte
Charles Clay
Seems like a lot of value across the board with what feels like every pick is the perfect pick 😁
Good luck everyone
Well, I would say Odell B. Jr at WR. Until he has a game without 200+ yards it would be silly to fade him.
I like Bradford and AP, I like lacy in cash games but every time he play the bears he’s heavily owned and rightfully so. I like matt Ryan and Julio Jones stack in gpps and there at a good price, Philly has a pretty good d but they should get a lot of opportunities and will probably have to throw a lot to keep up with their offense. Jordy Nelson should have his way with the small corners on the bears jennings, and fuller especially with Tillman gone.

I could see a shootout in the Eagles – Falcons game both ways. I’m not 100% sold on the Eagles D yet.
Bradford and Bridgewater look like good value picks at QB week 1
AP does seem like a good play but that Vegas line really concerns me. SF is favored in a very low scoring game. Instead of SF-3 and a 41 o/u I would have anticipated a Min-2 and 46 o/u. With Minn projected for only 19 points I have serious doubts about AP
Your probably right vegas has the game as the highest total 53
Carr to cooper seems to easy and cheap .. Think carr puts up good numbers at home vs ben gals

Though I think Julio Jones at 9300 on DK is sky high even against the Iggles shaky secondary. ODB I’d take at 10000.
I’m looking at Tampa Bay vs. Tennessee namely TB players. Of course that’s depending on price and namely Charles Sims.
I plan on writing an Eagles Blog this season analyzing their matchups. Look out for it.
Way to much value at RB to pay up
They doubted AP after his ACL too…. the man will be running with chips all over his shoulders. I wouldn’t doubt the guy when he runs with purpose. All this said I’m a vikes fan and decided this was a good spot for a homer-ish post
If Minnesota scores 19 points I’d say it’s prett likely Ap scores at least 1 of those td’s.

Love the phrase “Homer-ish”. We are all guilty of that. I actually just started writing a Blog on here about the Eagles and Homer Bias.
Outside opinion- Want to see AP price before making a call. I owned him in a season long and some weeks he can disappoint.
AD is gonna run for 1500+ this year.

I see timeshare with Asiata and McKinnon.
AP is the most expensive RB on FD for week 1 with a salary of 9200, the same salary as Andrew Luck. Only Aaron Rodgers has a higher salary at 9700.
I doubt there is much of a time share, yes they will use Asiata for a breather but not a time share like what we have seen in years past with teams like the Panthers
I think he can hit 1500 even with a time share. You will see some McKinnon but I don’t think asiata will see much time, maybe a few 3rd down passing situations.
here is what the reports say. but we wont know for sure until it plays out.
Despite the fact that he missed nearly the entire 2014 season, Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson will not be limited this season. Head coach Mike Zimmer told reporters the veteran RB will be able to take on as much as he can handle. (Source: Tom Pelissero)
Fantasy Impact: This falls in line with earlier statements indicating Peterson could get more third-down work and see more targets out of the backfield. All that, along with the development of Teddy Bridgewater and the rest of the Vikings’ offense, contributes to Peterson returning to his spot as a top-five pick.
Ben Goessling of ESPN expects the Minnesota Vikings to target Peterson significantly in the team’s passing game this season. (Source: ESPN)
Fantasy Impact: Peterson caught 43 passes in 2009, so the 40-to-50 catches Goessling references isn’t out of the question. AP has already indicated he expects to see more time as the team’s third-down back, which would give him more opportunities to catch passes out of the backfield. This would increase his value overall, especially in PPR leagues.
Ton of value at WR too.
just some a quick recap on last years scores and players for cashing, winning and stacking.

They would be foolish to have Asiata on the bench. Some teams need a bull RB. Definite trade bait.
Post like these remind me why I love NFL so much.
Many would argue taking AP out for Asiata would be foolish.

Getting tired of PGA and sweating Friday afternoon cuts. Can’t wait!
