He had a rough year, but he'll be back.

6 instances in how many years?

tordle.bsky.social•156 days ago

I picked him first in my league last year. All time best pick I’ve ever made.

moonhippo.bsky.social•157 days ago

Never trusted him and wouldn’t taken him number one. Took King Henry a few years back the only time I had no1. That guy never lets me down!

When he’s good, he’s the best, but the injury bug continues to bite him. It’s not for lack of trying.

Some of ya’ll didn’t draft David Johnson 1.01 in 2017 and it shows

We should be able to sue SF for lying on their injury report. It's an absolute lie that in this day and age they didn't know he had Achilles tendonitis in both legs. A lie.

suing because your fantasy football team did badly is crazy

gloomytennis.bsky.social•155 days ago

If you think that's why I am saying this you are none too bright. Note, I still finished in third place.

No its Leveon Bell and it’s not even close

markdornfeld.bsky.social•157 days ago

He is to me but that may be due to the fact that the last two times I had the first pick, it was him (2021, 2024). Also, having to pick first is not worth any player. After McCaffrey went down my default number one pick (last of 2nd round) was Mike Evans, and I was lucky to get him.

Yes...nfm.

JaMarcus Russell is the worse fantasy pick

Alternatively I rode Saquon Barkley and a few other week 17/18 resters to the championship only to get demolished. Would rather get the heartache out of the way earlier in the season.

mistahgee.bsky.social•157 days ago

I wouldn’t say worst but I know for damn sure he will not be on any of my rosters lol

stinky-doggy.bsky.social•157 days ago

Calling him the “worst” is not very accurate. We all know what he can do, and at draft time he’s definitely worth taking 1st overall, but he’s very risky. Either makes you a guaranteed top 3 team or you get snake bit. Fantasy football is all risk management, and CMC is not for the faint of heart 😂
