Accidents are a nauseating a part of fantasy soccer, however usually it appears some groups are clearly snake-bitten. In my league, the OFFL, Kevin and his group SuperNova should really feel like they’ve fallen into the snake pit with Indiana Jones. Three of his high 4 picks are probably carried out for the yr: Malik Nabers, Joe Burrow and Tyreek Hill. It’s much more ominous as a result of he drafted Christian McCaffrey together with his No. 1 choose, probably the most injury-prone participant within the NFL.

WR Jameson Williams at Bengals — With solely 10 receptions on the yr, it seems the Lions’ new offense has forgotten the speedy Williams. The Bengals are the proper tonic to snap Williams again to his high-flying methods. Amon-Ra St. Brown can’t have all of the enjoyable each week.
TE Dalton Kincaid vs. Patriots — Kincaid scored in three out of 4 video games. The Payments didn’t want him a lot to defeat the Saints final week, however his lone catch was a stupendous 28-yard landing.
WHOA DOWN!
