After the first week of the fantasy football season, I’m pretty excited about my teams. In my league with friends from home, I notched a 93-49 victory with Travis Henry, Torry Holt and the “Steel Curtain” defense of Pittsburgh leading the way. Sadly, a zero touchdown effort from Alex Smith on Monday night left my team in The State News league with a 74-72 loss.
Still, I’m keeping my head held high in both leagues, looking to play the matchups and analyze the stats to figure out who to sit and who to start, and I figured I’d let fellow fantasy nerds in on what’s going on in my mind.
Two to start:
Adrian Peterson: As of now, Chester Taylor’s status is questionable. Good deal for Peterson owners as he’ll get the majority of the carries and face the Lions.
Bengals D/ST: You might be able to find the Bengals on the waiver wire like I did. They don’t have a reputation for being even a decent defensive team, but they got two picks from Baltimore quarterbacks last week and face the Cleveland Browns in week two.
