I know I said about a month ago that I liked L Murray this year but think he probably doesn't pay off.

He just isn't that good, had a pedestrian preseason. Good pass protector should keep him on the field but Washington is just better than him and Richard is pretty decent too. Be surprised if he can get 300 touches. He just is going to have a tough time keeping better players off the field.

Probably still rollup a 175 and 3 week 1 on the Saints tho....

Stashed away deandre washington too. Lativius murray will get hurt by week 8. He runs too straight up. Plus he's had a few concussions which he is prone to

the same clowns that sold you on the funchess hype are the same one selling you on the moncrief hype.
the end result will be the same for both

they suck

if luck stays healthy (big if based on that offensive line) moncrief will have a good year. the hype for him didn't come out of nowhere like funchess. he's been developing and was in the process of breaking out when Luck went down last year.

CJ was my first rounder in one league last year and he was complete junk. I think he scored 3 TDs all season and the first one wasn't until late in the year.

then he comes out tonight and dominates a good defense. can't predict this shit

No offense, but this is probably why you are not very good at fantasy football. You CAN predict this shit. CJA was undervalued for two main reasons; disappointed owners from last year and the new trendiness of being WR-obsessed.

Even though he disappointed in 2015, his secondary metrics (YAC, broken tackles) were among the league's best. With Hillman gone, and given how good of a blocker he is, he is going to be on the field a lot. On a team with a rookie QB that will likely want to dump off a lot, no other good options at RB, where the defense sets up the offense with some short fields, and a revamped offensive line...add all that up and I think he's going to have a good year.

One game does not a season make, but we even discussed earlier in this thread that he was one of the names that was falling at least a round below where he should.

Predictions that may totally flame out

MVP - Gurley, maybe Rawls
Breakout - Mariotta
Bust - Elliott

Elliot supposedly plans on rushing for 2000 yards.


sounds like a stretch but barring injury I just can't see how he's not successful behind that line. I was pretty hesitant on Elliot until I saw what he did against the Seahawks first unit

Cooks going nuts for the Saints.


Overall a lot of guys underperforming today tho, at least in the early games

That not drafting Rodgers was your one big mistake

you back on the sauce? starting to troll me again with your typical hateful response to every post I make. I guess that ban smack down bas layed down on you hurt the pride.

I make two (2) posts in one (1) thread, critical of your fantasy football logic. Thought that's what we were discussing here.

And now not only do you accuse me of trolling you, you accuse me of relapsing into alcoholism, and then bring up an unrelated incident with BAS. An incident, btw, that was none of your business, but you were so damn curious about it you even started a thread.

And you wonder why people dislike you?
