First Waiver of the fantasy season! I’m already 0-1 in both leagues with draft scores that indicate 2 wins is the best I can hope for. That’s okay. I like being the underdog. I like it right up to the point that I win the ‘ship. I expect to be in contention for that honor in each of the leagues. If not for a ferocious fourth by Josh Allen, I would’ve been 1-0 in one league. Of course, I can wish all I want. Just win, baby. That is the thing I must do. Can I turn it around this week? I don’t know. I have the players in one of the leagues (which I failed to start and started the worst possible players).
This is a big week for both fantasy and real FB for me. On the fantasy front, I need to win, because losing would move me to 0-2 and in these leagues that is really tough to come back from. In the 8 person it should be easier as It looks like my team is considerably better. In the larger money league, I have almost no room to find better players. I’ve already hit the waiver wire to replace some scrubs (X. Leggette) but struck out. Hopefully there is a chance later in the season or the kid actually gets good.
In RL, the UNC Bears go to South Dakota against a very very strong running team. They need the win to show themselves they are legit. A win against a ranked team is a big step. Even a close loss will have them feeling like they can do this. I want the win. So does the High School team after losing to a team they are better than. A loss this week would crush their spirit moving forward. They don’t just need a win, but a blowout. They need to show who they are.
