that's tough



Bradford was unreal monday

but Hopkin is the better player


I am putting Diggs in a few of my lineups this week, but not sure I would leave a Hopkins on the bench in week 2

So, in this league, I took Bell

So I started with

Bell
Murray
OBJ
Dez
Hopkins


I traded with the guy who lost D. Johnson.

Gave up Murray and Dez for Julio Jones

So I now have 3 top 7 picks in my lineup in Julio, Bell and OBJ

With Thielen, Hopkins, Desean and Hogan on my bench.

Jeez how could I miss him. Also Nylander and Middlestadt have wheels....my point of listing them is that this year we may still be on the slow side of team speed...Moulson, Pommer, Larsson, even reinhart... but we have some serious blazers coming up the ranks.

Andrew Luck wants out of Indy???

Okay that changes everything...

IF and that's IF he is healthy and indeed does want out...

#99 and a first this year (Chiefs please) and next year for Luck...

Draft a stud WR in the first
Draft a CB in the second
Draft a LB in the second
Draft a DT in the third
Draft a guard in the third

That's a scary team

E-Rod is not a top line player

He is especially not a top line player with ROR and Okposo

You could convince me a little that he should play with Eichel but even that is a stretch to me.

I think his peak is a 3rd line winger

Killer trade. You nailed it. To determine Hop vs. Thielen, I think I would let OvP decide. Thursday Night football generally doesn't produce good results for anyone except D/ST.

Didn't Erod have a better goals per game than Bailey last year though?

By a little sure

But E-Rod hasn't scored like Bailey in a full season in the AHL

Bailey has more of the skillset to score in the NHL regularly
