A bit of random info from Sunday's games: there wasn't a single player to rush for over 100 yards. Edwards-Helaire is the only one to break that barrier so far. There are a few that could tonight but I think the end of the "bell cow" running back is upon us.
For comparison, there have been 11 players that hit 100 yards receiving so far.
And Derrick Henry still moves forward....

I guess I should have waited until the games were over to question his roster decisions because he still beat me.Originally Posted by Still Servant
Rookie move.
Actually, three of the four playoff teams from last year lost in week one.

My title defense just got a lot more difficult.

Wow. A lot of season ending, fantasy-wrecking injuries in week 2. Sheesh.
Here's an ESPN article detailing the most significant of them...
no Preseason is really putting these poor guys through the meat grinder. It is probably going to continue.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.no Preseason is really putting these poor guys through the meat grinder. It is probably going to continue.
Two of my running backs from my championship season last year are now gone for the year. I knew Mack was going to have a reduced role this year, but I didn't think it would be this reduced.

It was a rough week for injuries. This season is going to test everyone's benches. It is part of the reason that I added the extra IR spot for this year.
I thought that I was going to drop to 0-2 for sure. Brees not being able to throw downfield is really going to help Kamara's value this year apparently. It rescued me tonight.
Frank Gore seems ageless.Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.no Preseason is really putting these poor guys through the meat grinder. It is probably going to continue.

All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
After the first set of divisional games, here are the division standings:
The Red:
1. Rube's .45s: 2-1
1. Dallas Death Rattle (Brooks*): 2-1
1. Gilead Brewery (fernandito): 2-1
4. death by snu snu (Kent*): 0-3
The White:
1. Equus Asinus (SkippyD023): 3-0
2. Walkin' Dudes (Lookwhoitis): 2-1
3. Blaine the Pain Train (Jason*): 1-2
4. Lud Billy Bumblers (wolfehr): 0-3
Pink:
1. Big CoughlinHunters (Still Servant): 3-0
2. Derry's Rejects (thegunslinger41): 2-1
3. Forbidden Zone (DoctorZaius): 1-2
4. Garrell's Raiders: 0-3
In an unexpected turn of events, two of last year's playoff teams are 0-3 to start the season. However, it is still early so anyone can still make a run. It seems like The Red division is always a three-team race to the end and it has started that way again.
As most of you have probably seen, Covid-19 may effect some games this weekend. The NFL seems to be planning to go ahead with the games but watch for news just in case you need to switch some players in your lineup. Hopefully ESPN will notify everyone of their plans in case a game gets delayed but I will reach out to their customer service if it doesn't happen in the next couple days.
Damn, Mike 3-0 even after losing SaQUADS Barkley!
lol, ESPN currently has Steelers and Titans as on a bye in their interface. I hope they change it if they play on Mon or Tues.

Yeah, hanging in there. Jones has been a big part of that. The pickup of Robinson helped me a lot this week. I haven't gotten much out WR and Andrews so far. I'm going to need that to change.

I have read that games that were delayed in the past from Sunday to Monday or Tuesday (normally weather related) have counted on ESPN'S site. However, ESPN hasn't put out anything official that I have seen yet.
So the Titans and Steelers game is officially postponed. Their bye weeks have come early so get their players out of your lineup. It sounds like there will be a simple schedule fix (if the Titans don't have to miss another game).
From ESPN:
"Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the most likely scenario for rescheduling will be to play the game in Week 7 on Oct. 25, the Titans' original bye week. Pittsburgh is scheduled to play at Baltimore that week, but both the Steelers and*Ravens*have byes in Week 8, which would allow the NFL to make a change affecting only one other team."

I assume that most of you have heard that Cam Newton tested positive for Covid. The New England/Kansas City game has been pushed until Monday or Tuesday. Of course, if more Patriots test positive the game could get moved to another week. Since it may be the last game of the week, you may be taking a big risk starting any Chiefs or Patriots.
NOLA fullback that tested positive for Covind sat next to Kamara on the plane.
let the shit show begin!

Supposedly he was retested and came up negative. Its sounds like they are going to play the game.
I hope all this gets the players to realize they need to take this more seriously if they want to finish the season. They had done such a good job early on but I am guessing they started getting a little lax since there hadn't been but a few positives before this week.
After week four, we are down to one undefeated team, Equus Asinus (SkippyD023), and two winless teams got their first win.
This week starts the scheduled bye weeks. Please make sure to adjust your lineups.
The Broncos and Patriots week five game has been postponed until next week due to another positive test. Please get those players out of your starting lineups for this week.
I know this is late but waivers will not run tonight since there was a game today. They will run tomorrow night.
Equus Asinus remains the only unbeaten team. He whipped my .45s even though he had to start Flacco at QB with Rodgers on bye.
At 3-2, I think I'm doing OK for my first stab at Fantasy
