I am in three money leagues and have two drafts completed and one to go tonight.

Tough knowing where to draft Zeke, if at all. If the suspension is upheld, he's dead for most of the fantasy season, if it's delayed or reduced he could be a steal in the late second round.

One of my keeper league teams had very weak keepers so I took a chance on Zeke in the second round. My other team is pretty strong, I have David Johnson as one of my keepers and drafted Shady McCoy to go with him.

    I came out of retirement last year, won a league, and then 2 folks never paid up so I didn't even get the full prize. I've gone back to retirement and don't think I'll ever play FFB again.

    That said, David Johnson is crazy solid. You can build a championship around him. Adam Shefter (sp) was on ESPN radio earlier and it sounded like he might have more insight coming down the pipe in regards to Zeke. I can't imagine it being more than 2-3 games, but Goodell's douchiness knows no bounds.......

    My draft starts in 10 mins. Redraft league, 10 teams only (I prefer 12 which is what our keeper leagues are). Just read that Willie Snead was suspended 3 games. Ted "stonehands" Ginn is a little more interesting now.

    Mariota is my man-crush QB this year. Hoping to get him. I pick first and am taking Antonio Brown. It's a PPR league.

    Well, I went 1-2 this week. Unfortunately, the only team to get a win is the one with David Johnson on the roster. Tough to replace him.

    Not bad if you have the roster room. Pretty speculative at this point though.

    He was at the least worthy of a flex spot, sorry had to LOL, because I know how bad it sucks when your bench has more points than your starters

    Will Hunt be on your bench next week? :)

    I think Bryant is going to take a few games to heat up. Brate's an under rated option, but at least has more statistical backup than Kupp. Just IMO.

    Vikes D, is a PITA, and I think may give Ben as much problem as they did Drew Brees

    Bryant - go big or go......................home!

    Seriously, decisions like that I make based on how I think I stack up against my opponent. If I think my team is stronger, I go safe, if weaker, I go with the higher upside player, even if he has a much lower floor.

    We're pretty much equally matched, but I'm also already playing Big Ben and he has L'Bell and Brady

    I would probably go with Kupp then. I picked him up on two teams for my bench, he looked good last week and got a lot of throws his way.

    With Bradford out, I'm benching Thielen, but also considering benching Dalvin (8pts vs Pitt wk2)
    This week they play Tampa, another tough D. I would have to play Chris Carson vs Tenn D :#

    How you guys doing??

    I have 3 teams and one is 0-2. The first week I had the second highest score in the league, guess who I was playing? My other two teams are 1-1. Overall, my QBs are underperforming so far.

    I went 2-1 last week in three leagues, started Gurley on Thursday, pretty satisfied with that performance LOL (have him in two leagues). Though I'm having a similar challenge with Dalvin, but I got nowhere else to go...

    The amount of sub par QB's in some instances at fault of poor o-lines or o-line injuries has made the waiver wire very thin this year. These effects roll down into the RB's due to stacking the box.

    Seems like there are teams that have stepped up their D's this year too.
