Week One TTH 2017 Preview

Some interesting week one matchups brewing in the TTH 2017 Fantasy League. Believe In Plobs (116.82) faces Agholorious Bastards (127.09) in what will ultimately become the Ezekiel Elliott and LeVeon Bell shit show. Believe In Plobs would probably have to hope and pray to the football gods that Cam Newton decides to actually turn up this season. On paper this is the battle of the QBs but we all know where this matchup is headed. Golden Grahams (122.20) and Equable Rogues (121.83) looks to favour the Golden Grahams if you believe the projected scoring. Demaryius Thomas may prove to be the only player that could fuck up Golden Grahams’s chances of getting the all important W if his questionable groin injury proves to be that critical.

Magic Mike XXL Evans (113.34) will more than likely get decimated by God Hates Jags (128.59) unless a fucking miracle happens by Marcus Mariota going on a fucking tear. With the postponement of the Miami Dolphins game against Tampa Bay moved to week 11, it has already impacted the roster of BiLOL Powell (107.78) as at least three of his players would have been legit starters for week one against Welby Wolves (107.90) who has Aaron Rodgers to help then win what would be a very tight matchup on paper. Last but not at all very least is the Baz’s Bumbandits (112.75) who will probably have to find himself a massive couch to hide behind as he faces the Miami LOLphins (120.52) who has Big Ben and Julio Jones in his starting lineup to probably give Baz’s Bumbandits the loss that he probably doesn’t want if he wants to avoid getting the “El Plebbo” wooden spoon this season.

TTH 2017 Season Projected Standings

Golden Grahams (12-2-0)
Welby Wolves (11-3-0)
Equable Rogues (10-4-0)
Agholorious Bastards (9-5-0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God Hates Jags (7-7-0)
Miami LOLphins (7-7-0)
BiLOL Powell (5-9-0)
Believe In Plobs (5-9-0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Baz’s Bumbandits (3-11-0)
Magic Mike XXL Evans (1-13-0)

Top eight goes into the end of season league playoffs with the top four going for the championship as you may of already gathered. Baz's Bumbandits and Magic Mike XXL Evans are favourites for the "El Plebbo" which is if anything. Don't rule out BiLOL Powell and Believe In Plobs in fighting it out for that hideous last spot. This has the making of Equable Rogues defending their championship crown unless the commissioner has everything else to say about that

[Baz]

I'm gonna go with my gut this week and if it doesn't work, I'll probably just play the ones Yahoo says will score more, going forward.

The moved game doesn't affect me, right?

[Pleb]

Nope. In fact it's only Ian and Fay's Fall Guys that have been impacted I believe.

[Ian]

I have? Damn it.

Edit: I remember drafting Ajayi. I'll have to check for the others.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah because clearly Mike Evans would have been on my bench.

[Dan]

I forgot about Mahow trades

I'm not defending, I'm pretty sure about that - @Gray Fox is a pretty big favourite in my book. I'm hopeful for a playoff spot though.

[Bartholomert]

I don't understand how I'm predicted to score the most points in Week 1, and yet, I'm projected to go 7-7 overall.

[Browning]

Because it's not always week 1.

[bruhnaldo]

Got his ass

[Gray Fox]

I think my season in both of my leagues rests heavily on what Ezekiel Elliott does in regards to his punishment. If he Bradys it and gets a seasons reprieve then it's all worked out great.

[Gray Fox]

Now we're here I thought I'd share my match up from my other league.



The loss of Evans in week 1 means I lost my projection of bettering my opponent in every skill position. It has lost her both DeSean Jackson and Jay Ajayi who were both arguably likely to start, so swings and roundabouts. No Luck also hinders Hilton a lot, but due to stupid rules I can't change him out without dumping him on waivers.

I've taken a gamble of sorts in not promoting Stafford from the bench and picking up Taylor. The Jets are a contender for #1 pick in 2018 but do at least have a somewhat capable run defence. You get no individual points for returns so Hill should be less of a factor, while Nelson ages another year and plays one of the toughest defences in the league.

My only 2 players across both leagues to play tonight is Kelce, so hoping for him to get some yards and also, Gillislee. He's more of an unknown at this point but if he retains his goal line work load from Buffalo I'm in luck. I'm hopeful of a good win in the work league while expecting a close game of it against Pleb.

I've really missed this.

[Browning]

I'm in the annoying position of starting the Pats DST in 2 leagues but facing them in another, meaning I'm not really sure what I want from them. A good game but not as good as Carolina would probably be the ideal.

I also face at least Gronk and Brady in 1 league each.... so hopefully Gronk limps off injured on the first snap (which is a hand off to him, which he fumbles and loses).

[Pleb]

I completely forgot that I had Tampa Bay as one of my D/ST in one of my random leagues so I've replaced them with the Buffalo Bills and now I feel fucking dirty doing that

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Decided last minute to take out Tyreek Hill for Mike Gillislee in one league.

[Gray Fox]

Just the casual 40 points on your debut for Hunt. Kelce basically the only guy to not get good points is a bit annoying.

[Browning]

Well that's one league I don't need to pay attention to Sunday...

Hunt aside the rest of that seems to have gone well for me.

[Pleb]

I'm wide awake.

[Dan]

KAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM

Sorry Browning. If it's any consolation I benched him for Zeke & Christian McCaffery in another league without flex spots.

[Pleb]

My opponent in league 2 benched him

I would of been long gone if he played him.

[Browning]

Allen Robinson is going to catch 5 97 yards TDs don't worry.

[Gray Fox]

Looks like the risk on Zeke has paid off.

Out of interest, (when)would anyone else have taken him?

[Baz]

Looks like the risk on Zeke has paid off.

Out of interest, (when)would anyone else have taken him?

Id have had him as my keeper.

[Dan]

I took him early R2 in another league, and I probably would've taken him if he'd got back to me in R2 in our league.

Kareem Hunt will be better than him anyway

[Gray Fox]

Has there been a better debut than his?

[Dan]

Nope, most yards from scrimmage in a debut of all time, I believe.

[Pleb]

At what point do we just hand the championship to @Dan already?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

After only 1 game in the whole season has been played ofc.

It's logical.

[Dan]

If you want to just give me the trophy now & we can just do the rest of the year unofficially for the lulz that's fine with me.

[Browning]

So I had a free add in dynasty with Mike Williams being ruled out again and placed on IR for my team, and I've gone with Coby Fleener. It was a tough choice between him, Eli and Chris Thompson (it is a PPR) but I edged to Fleener because all of my TEs (Henry, Howard and Hooper) have question marks and I need one to pan out. I do note that, inexplicably, John Ross has been dropped though. I'm contemplating if he is worth a waiver add but I do note that because of when he's been dropped he stays on Waivers until Wednesday with everyone else, so I guess I'll weigh it up after we see everyone play.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ross would be a brilliant add in dynasty.

[Browning]

I agree. I'm number 3 in waiver priority and the 2 ahead of me are the 2 I'd be least worried about sniping him to be honest, but we shall see. Unless someone else really breaks out over the week or I get some injuries that give me another need, I think he'll be the guy I target.

[Dan]

Yeah, get John Ross for sure. Not sure why someone would drop him so quickly, especially in dynasty

Oh, and Seabass has been placed on IR - Raiders have signed some randomer called Giorgio Tavecchio that's been with the team the last four preseasons but never played a real game.

[Browning]

I asked him. He said "he's injured and 4th on the depth chart".

Right....

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Clearly doesn't understand what a dynasty set up is.

Feast away.

[Bartholomert]

About to finish lifting, gunna head back to my apartment, crack open a cold Bud Light, and start drinking / egregiously sports betting all day. Gunna be so awesome I can't wait.

[Dan]

Cooper & the Steelers DEF making a nice start to the day. Also pretty happy with having to start Carson Wentz in my dynasty league so far.

On the other hand, I debated Clay over Eifert, and someone else over Dalton. Should've done both, it seems.

[Dan]

@Browning & I picking the two worst QBs of the day

[Browning]

I knew Palmer was a mistake but I didn't see any way back with Carr as Cooper would nullify him. Game was over anyway so took a punt.

My other leagues are also shit.

[Dan]

My QBs in my four Yahoo leagues are Dalton, Palmer, Cousins & Bradford. I think they have less than 5pts between them so far

Wentz was doing well in my dynasty league until the pick six. At least Corey Davis is getting a decent number of catches though. Also, I have the Jags in one Yahoo league & the dynasty, where they're currently scoring 26pts.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ravens defence

[Dan]

I'm so glad I have Hunt & Brown to cover this utter shitstorm from Dalton. Think I'll be streaming QBs again at this rate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm so glad I have Hunt & Brown to cover this utter shitstorm from Dalton. Think I'll be streaming QBs again at this rate.

Fancy a QB for a RB?

[Dan]

Sure, which one of the J. Williams squad would you like?

EDIT: Jags currently have 39.28pts in my dynasty league They've got 26 in standard Yahoo scoring, which isn't bad either.

[Pleb]

My matchup with @Gray Fox is tighter than I thought

[Bartholomert]

I can't believe I dropped Agholor in both of the leagues I'm in, looks like he'll be targeted a lot this year.

[Gray Fox]

The man has hands made of butter.

Beyond a good team name I just can't trust him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I laugh in the face of Yahoo point predictions.

[Dan]

Glad I played Austin Hooper in my dynasty team

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

David Johnson

Get fucked Mert.

[Gray Fox]

Started Ertz/Kelce over Hooper. Damn.
