I’m starting to reconsider the order of the Backs i’ll pick. I am not one to normally be impressed by training camp, but when Jamaal Charles literally juked a player so hard that the player broke his ankle, I took notice. I also took full notice of the goaline prowess of Giants rookie RB, Andre Williams. Though ranked #57 by ESPN, Williams has a good chance to leech carries from Rashad Jennings in the redzone. This is contingent on Eli’s ability to develop chemistry with a tight end an limit the need to have a top end pass catcher in the backfield in those critical moments. Everything in the fantasy realm is contingent on a fine balance of what-ifs. What if a player gets hurt? What if the schedule forces a different style of play? What if you’re the Jaguars?
My one piece of advice for Fantasy players is to consider the schedule. Every team is going to find a way to score. The key is to figure out who each team is playing and what that opposing D is especially bad at. For example, The Cowboys are likely to have the worst run defense in the league, so think about the damage someone like LeSean McCoy will do twice a season (and then think about trading him after). The same sort of advice applies to teams playing the Browns. Throwing against them (or the Cardinals) is futile, so look after the teams who have solid run games against them. Stash away some Rbs and play to the whole season, not just the first few weeks.
Some Thoughts:
- Mistresses is getting stupider, TV is getting stupider, and people still give a damn about what Kim Kardashian is doing. How is it we are still viable as a species? I’m more worried about our social decay than I am about any potential Ebola outbreak. At least the virus kills us quick.
