Today I watched my son score a TD on a top ranked freshman team. It’s a positive step in his quest to be Travis Hunter. He needs to run harder on the field to get there but he has great instincts and is very athletic. He’s a winner. My fantasy teams are not.
the first week of any fantasy season is about figuring out where the existing talent is in their development and who is the new hotness. As such there can be gems in that first week waiver wire. Nacua from the Rams is quite a gem. I secured him in two leagues. The champions league is a week to week situation which only offers certain players each week. He wasn’t on the list.
so I’m 0-2 and dead last in points in each. I played terribly because I drafted poorly. Now comes the wheeling and dealing and looking for hidden gems. What I truly need to lock down is a reliable tight end. They’ve become scoring gems but I cannot find one who will show up. In the champions league I actually lost money because I started a guy who wound up not playing. Even one player down I was top 9k out of 100k. I cooked. Dalvin didn’t, so I am glad i skipped taking him. I missed out on Breece tho. Rbs might not be worth as much in the NFL right now but they are fantasy gems.
