    Breesy Does It. And I reserve the right to change it if/when Drew Brees finally breaks down.

    Brees
    White - Johnson - Breida - Hyde - Lewis - McCoy
    Jones - Thomas - Cooks - Green - Sanders
    Engram
    Bryant
    Browns

    Ive got pretty sweet WRs and im just hoping that I have enough RB lottery tickets that 2 hit. I have my doubts. Although Breida is officially the starter for week 1 so thats a start.

    Sorry man, very limited time at the moment. Flick me a trade offer if you are interested in any of my lads, might be able to work something!

    He's gotta keep that diva stereotype kicking. The Raiders will start cutting into his pay first chance that they get

    I'm _slightly_ biased so take it with a big horse shaped grain of salt... but Raiders have the Broncos this week, so whoever replaces AB will likely get shadowed by Callahan (PFF 2018 top 10 CB) on the outside or Harris (PFF 2018 top 3 CB - one of the all time great slot CBs) if they step into the slot, with Kareem Jackson (PFF 2018 top 5 CB) playing safety in the middle. And its on Monday night, so if theres any last minute changes, youre stuck with it. The Denver offence is a hot mess, but that defence is not a great matchup if you're playing the game of picking up handcuffs. Having said that, TEs do well against us because our ILBs are shit, so the Raiders TE is a sneaky good play for the week.

    I have AB in the OG Sportal league (first round pick, urgh) so Im benching him but I want nothing to do with his replacement.

    Good write up. Thanks mate. I had no idea that Denvers secondary had stayed so good after the old No Fly Zone days. I picked them up in L3, but I've benched them in favour of my Seahawks D. Might have to dial them up again with AB out.

    I've also picked up Ty Williams in Dynasty, cause I can see AB being a bit temperamental and fragile this year.

    The problem with being in so many leagues is who do you cheer on?

    I've got A Rodgers in L3, but Bears D in Dynasty. One way or another I can't make good points both ways.

    The No Fly Zone definately lost its mojo when Talib, Stewart and TJ left but Jackson and Callahan are new additions this year who both had great seasons in 2018. Its a new No Fly Zone, but on paper the starting 4 DBs are every bit as talented as the SB winning edition - cohesivness will be an obstacle (as for any new unit) but they looked ok in preseason. A big part of why the NFZ was so good was Wade Phillips as DC and play caller, so it remains to be seen how that goes, but Fangio was also a weapon of a DC in Chicago last year. The biggest fear is that all of the starters are great individually but cant figure out how to work as a team and get torn apart in zone. I have no doubt, man-on-man, they will be very tough to throw against. Unfortunately we didnt do much to change the ILB situation, even after Kittle got 200yds in a half against us last year, so fat blokes on a seam/post up the middle is still a massive weakness.

    I wouldn’t take too much from that game. Both O’s struggled massively, the one good drive in the game looked like Rogers was calling plays again

    I just know that Cohen will end up being someone I regret playing or regret not playing each week.

    Yeah massively THIS

    I’m only in 2 leagues and have Cohen in both.

    Played him last night as PPR flex and not in L3 of our regular. He will put up some big runaway yards every 3rd game or so the little whippet

    Yeah thats it Re Cohen, similar to Ekeler although Ekelers role a little more determined.
    I've had both if these guys the last two years, and it is very hard to play them confidently. Especially Cohen. So flashy, just wish Cohen was used more.

    Re. Cohen. He lined up like 40 times out of 50 at WR and only had 1 running play. I am a big Cohen fan hence drafting him and hope he gets WR DPP. I also hope he gets a few more chances at RB, but his usage this season looks really good. Especially for PPR leagues.

    Trubisky is my backup in dynasty which sucks ass because it looks like he has Terminal Bortlesitis right now. I guess you can lay some blame at Nagy's feet but I can't help think I could have had Darnold a few rounds later instead. It's week 1 I guess

    At least I don't own any shares of AB, fuck that noise
