Things You Learned In Week 1 (1 Viewer)

[LordHusker]

Beanie Wells will be fantasy gold.

How did you come to that conclusion after week one? He didn't even play.

Apparently, the same way Reggie Wayne's 7-99-1 stat line led him to believe there will be "too many others to share with" for him.

I learned a lot of people have short memories and assume one week, or one play, dictates production, or lack thereof, for the entire season.

 

[Novice2]

I learned my Kolb & Sanchez QB combo in a new dynasty isn't looking so good right now.

 

[skinny post]

I learned that when you are down in the second half people forget pretty fast about Vick's past. He paid his debt, I appreciate what he has been through but I think it is funny all the drama and demonstrations last year like the public wouldn't cheer for him when he did well...we all forget the past when it is our team.

My late pickup of KC's D/ST might not be so terrible.

IMO Wayne was helped by the flow of that game. I just see Manning distributing too much for Wayne to be reliable. He's obviously a top WR but as shown last year he isn't their only option.As for Wells ... HT had 2 fumbles and hmm ... Wells is a stud.

 

[bulger2holt]

I learned from the 11 spot, I should have went Austin / Roddy like I wanted instead of Calvin and Fitz. I talked myself out of it.

 

[gary mexico]

I've learned that my redraft team of Best, Spiller, Shonn Green, Calvin, Floyd, crabtree and finely is ####!!

 

[kingmalaki]

That I won't be sitting Boldin anymore.

 

[cubbie5150]

That the Chargers shouldn't have wasted picks to move up & draft Ryan Mathews. If Norv's just gonna have Sproles on the field when the game is on the line, what's the point. Sproles brought nothing to the table week 1. At least if it would've been Tolbert, I'd understand.

 

[PDX Pain]

I learned that handcuffing LT to Greene was paramount. Or did I handcuff Greene to LT? At this point it's impossible to say.

 

[The Jacket]

McCluster is legit. His cuts are out of this world and his acceleration is possibly the best in the NFL. When I say that, specifically what I'm referring to is the first 5-10 yards. Clearly guys like CJ3 and Charles outrun him over 30-50-70 yards (though he's still fast as hell), but in the first few steps I don't think there's a guy in the league that can match him.

Looking forward to him getting worked in to the offense more in the coming weeks -- especially when it's not hammering down with rain.

 

[Vicktimized]

And yet, despite this, he's put up numbers equal to Wayne anyway.==================So you would take Calvin right now over Reggie given Shaun Hill will be throwing the ball the next 4 to 6 games? Good luck with that.The risk with CJ is huge....Peyton M never misses a game and Reggie W always gets his 80+ catches. CJ has already missed games himself due to injury and has had his QB miss games and constantly changing. Oh, and in PPR leagues, CJ had 65 catches last year... that is 4 catches a game.... good luck winning FF leagues with that kind of production from your WR1 that you picked up instead of a QB1 or RB2 with RB1 upside.

That's not the point. By your logic, Wayne should be the first WR off the board (A. Johnson and Moss's qbs have gone out over the past two seasons). And the Hill thing had absolutely no bearing on people drafting weeks ago. Johnson does have a lower floor than Wayne, but it's not like he's going to be a guy you wouldn't start. His upside is arguably alot higher. It comes down to roster structure and drafting style.By the same token, I see you pumping up Charles alot. And I'm a Charles guy. But Charles was a pretty stout risk compared to some other lower upside, lower downside players picked around him. And while he produced this week, the 12 touches is pretty concerning. Is it a bad pick? I don't think so, but Haley at least has the potential to choke out his value. You obviously decided that risk was worth taking for a guy that could beast out and carry your team. And as anyone that owned Calvin in 08 knows, he has that kind of potential too.

 

[jojoh07]

I learned that Gresham will be a STUD in this league .

 

[Stryker]

I learned that Malcolm Floyd will still have a big year despite his low numbers tonight, Rivers loves him, team high 12 targets tonight, in better conditions I think he puts up a lot better stats. maybe 90 and a touch

 

[jurb26]

I learned that Gresham will be a STUD in this league .

Best TE prospect since Winslow.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I learned that Kansas City has an awesome home crowd - especially when you give them a few extra hours to get ready!

 

[Menace]

Being an owner of S.Green, Spiller, and DJax, I don't think I am finishing first this year.

 

[ceo3west]

Superbowl for the Jets? They're not even the best team in their own city.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Superbowl for the Jets? They're not even the best team in their own city.

They can get to the Super Bowl being the 2nd best team in their own city. :(

 

[sandlotshrink]

I learned that my late round flier on Santonio Holmes may not pan out as well as I had hoped :(

 

[Wet Doggg]

I learned that Matt Cassel throws the ball like a girl and is not good.

I learned that Rex and Shotty have Marc Sanchez scared to throw the ball more than 5 yards

I learned that Jamal Charles is legit and needs to touch the ball a lot more than 12 times in a game

 

[Papa Georgio]

That SF and the Jets thought they could just out physical a team to a victory but had very little to no game plan.

[humpback]

Learned that I stole Jamaal Charles in the 3rd.

The final stat line is nice, but you won't be saying that if he continues to only get 12 touches per week.

But you didn't exaggerate. They aren't the 2nd team in their city.
