Ya boy went 3-0 in Week 2! Special shout-out to Isaiah Crowell (20 points), Greg Olsen (18 points), Cairo Santos (15 points), DeAngelo Williams (18 points), Julio Jones (16 points), Philip Rivers (23 points), Kelvin Benjamin (22 points), Cardinals D/ST (22 points) and Graham Gano (18 points).

Injuries have started to drastically affect my teams. Adrian Peterson has a torn meniscus, which requires three-to-four months of rehabilitation, but since he’s a T-1000 I wouldn’t be shocked if he came back by the end of the season. I’m pretty bummed because I took him 2^nd overall and thought he would stabilize my RB position. Luckily, I was able to snag his replacement, Jerick McKinnon, but I doubt I’ll be playing him this week (tough match-up against Carolina).

Before the season I was extremely high on Corey Coleman. Being the 1^st WR taken in the 2016 NFL Draft mixed with the Cleveland Browns lack of WR depth I figured he would shoot right up the depth-chart and contribute from the jump. He played a fair amount in Week 1 and had a couple of receptions, but then exploded in Week 2 for 5 catches, 104 yards and 2 TD’s. Even with the Browns starting their 3^rd QB (Rookie Cody Kessler) in as many weeks, I still was high on Coleman’s fantasy stock. Though, that took a tremendous hit with the news of a fractured hand which will keep him on the sideline for a month or more. I only have him on 1 of my snake draft teams, but have him on both of my auctions teams. I was betting huge on him as the breakout rookie and will now have to find a makeshift way to replace his value for the foreseeable future.

Last week, I bet huge on Carolina, New Orleans, Oakland and Jacksonville. Only my Carolina players actually worked out. I’m a little worried about the Raiders D/ST. Worryingly; they have given up 34 & 35 points over 2 weeks. I figured they would take a step in the right direction after signing Bruce Irvin to rush the passer opposite of Khalil Mack, so far they have only combined for 1.0 sacks in 2016. Another startling stat is their leading tackler is Safety Reggie Nelson; this could mean he is playing close to the line of scrimmage and helping the rush defense or it could mean he is being relied on as the last defender because opposing RB/WR’s are getting through the 1^st and 2^nd levels of the defense. I haven’t watched enough Raiders football to make this determination yet.

Allen Robinson seemed like the next big thing after his breakout 2015 campaign (80 receptions, 1400 yards & 14 TD’s), yet has been a fantasy dud early in the 2016 season. I don’t know if teams are now game-planning and rolling their coverage schemes towards him or if Blake Bortles tricked everyone into thinking he was a franchise QB, either way I’m none too thrilled with his production (or lack thereof). Of course, there is still plenty of time left for Robinson to turn this season around. I’m actually depending on a mid-season turnaround.

The only advice I can give is watch the injury reports like a hawk. Injuries are now starting to mount and it’s important to know your key players’ back-ups. If you know one of your big scorers isn’t going to play that week make sure to hand-cuff him. For example, I (luckily) was able to grab AP’s back-up Jerick McKinnon on the waiver wire. If you aren’t that lucky I would suggest looking into taking a flyer on Kenny Britt of the Rams (owned in 10.8% of leagues). Sure, their offense is nothing special, but he will receive a good amount of targets and is a big body WR who could be a red-zone threat. I would also take a look at Browns WR Terrelle Pryor (owned in 25.8% of leagues). Yes, this is his 1^st season as a full-time WR, but he is also their best receiver at this time and should see a substantial amount of passes thrown his way. As far as RB’s go, I would try to trade for Melvin Ingram, as he will receive a heavy workload now that Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead are lost for the season. Although, you might have to give up a fair amount for him.
