They say the only certain things in life are death and taxes, but if you play fantasy soccerit turns out that overreaction to NFL Week 1 can also be added to the list.
Thursday night’s kickoff between the Chiefs and Lions was a perfect example of that.
Friday’s headlines were filled with harsh criticism and cries of disappointment. “The Lions don’t know how to use Jahmil Gibbs.”
Patrick Mahomes can’t play without Travis Kelce.
Neither Kadarius Toney nor Skye Moore should ever be allowed to step on a football field again.
This is a long time ago and you’ll have to brace yourself for Sunday night.
The fantasy community is a fickle bunch that wants immediate results.
If they don’t get results in Week 1, there will be a sudden overreaction and the roster will explode.
Players are added and removed rapidly, so it’s up to you to keep your cool.
There are many situations that need to be monitored, but you can’t allow one game to dictate how your team operates.
The way the Lions used Gibbs on Thursday should at least be noticed by the people who drafted Bijan Robinson.
That’s not to say Falcons coach Arthur Smith will rein in his prized rookie running back, but there’s a chance we’ll see more of Tyler Allgaier than we expect. That’s for sure.
You don’t plan on keeping your Ferrari in the garage, but you also don’t want your engine to blow out the first time you drive it around the track.
Smith is expected to incorporate Allgayer not only to keep fresh legs on the field, but also to prevent pressure on Robinson.
Also keep an eye on Denver’s backfield.
The Broncos have already warned that they will limit Javonte Williams early as he returns from a torn ACL.
Samaje Perine will see plenty of touches, but is not expected to be the starting running back all year.
Washington’s backfield is also under the microscope.
Antonio Gibson is expected to have a heavier workload in Eric Bieniemy’s offense, but the flow of the game will likely favor the slower Brian Robinson.
You have to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst and believe that drafting Kens Gainwell, Raheem Mostert, and even Kenneth Walker was a mistake, and you all need to see common touches. There is.
We didn’t draft a team to win Week 1.
You drafted a team to win a championship, but you still have 17 weeks to go.
be patient. Understand this is just his one game and the team, coaches and players are not to be judged yet.
If you are dissatisfied, observe the situation. The only people who like panic trades and angry drops are your competitors.
