2017!

Welcome to 2017!

I know it's been a while since I posted and since we've just had football in general but I'm excited for this season. Might be the first year in a while that I can do updates every week now that I no longer have school. Anyways, this first post may be short but next week, in lieu of a MOTW, I'll share the latest FPR since there really can't be a MOTW in week 1.

On to the good stuff!

Season Predictions
Winner: It'saHardGronkLife (Jon)
Although he gets some points off for not updating his name, Jon looks to be in good position to improve upon his second place performance from last year. He has 3 arguable WR1s, 3 RBs that should get plenty of work, and a QB that should bounce back from a disappointing year. All things are looking up for Jon. (This prediction was actually just your engagement gift. Congrats!)

Runner Up: Dont Stop BellLeveon (Eric)
Although his QB position might be slightly shaky, he has the #1 overall TE, the #1 overall RB, and 4 WRs that should be the #1 option on their team. That's a lot of hashtags. The above may not seem overwhelmingly favorable for a fantasy team but with Le'veon trying to prove he's worth big money, I wouldn't bet against a monster fantasy year from the RB.

Dark Horse: mike&mike (David K.)
What? After all those years of making fun of his draft strategy am I really calling him a dark horse? Can he really go from doing years of only playing until week 13 to making it to the money rounds? Behind 3 great WRs (thanks to a pre-season trade) and a fortunate injury that thrust Kareem Hunt into a starting role, David might do some damage this year. His QB spot is questionable but Mariota may just surprise us all.

Last Place: David Y Team (David Y.)
The last place is both for the creativity of his name and his predicted finish. While he has Antonio, who should make every week close, the loss of Ware, the reach on McCaffrey (is he really a #1 RB), and a shaky WR3 makes his team less than appealing. Additionally, Rudolph, while a solid contributor in real life, is never a threat to go for 15+ points in a week. Unless he makes a blockbuster trade or nabs a key free agent, David may be looking at a short season.

Week 1 starts today so good luck to all!
