🏈 The Return of Antonio Brown

Ravens RB disaster continues, Ja’Marr Chase, and amazing tweets.

Great morning, isn’t it. Football is back, baby, and we all couldn’t be happier. And what a game to kick off the season!

Although, it’s not all sunshine

Especially in Baltimore. Yikes.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Ravens now have lost RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill in a matter of weeks.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Ravens fear that RB Gus Edwards suffered a season-ending torn ACL during today's practice, per source.

Ravens signed two fossils in Le’Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman, which should mean they play on rolling out a committee with Ty’Son Williams at the head. It’s a difficult situation to gauge, but I doubt any of these RBs win your season.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Devonta Freeman and Le’Veon Bell, at least for the time being, give the Ravens the most decorated practice squad in recent memory, if not in NFL history.

AB, where have we seen this before?

If any owner is trying to “sell high” - buy buy buy. In the first half: 4/5 catches for 118 yards and a TD. Hot🔥 take: AB Leads the Buc’s WR group in fantasy points this year:

Antonio Brown, FPG Rank 2013: 5th (19.3) 2014: 2nd (23.6) 2015: 1st (23.9) 2016: 1st (20.5) 2017: 1st (22.0) 2018: 2nd (21.6) 2019: 9th (16.1) 2020: 23rd (14.6) 2021 ADP: WR37 From 96 Stats: fantasypoints.com/nfl/articles/s…

Quick Overreactions

Zeke struggled in the first half, Mike Evans was non existent, and Uncle Lenny was the Buccaneers best RB.

FF_Kyle @DynastyFF_KyleM

A few early takeaways: • Tony Pollard > Zeke in both redraft & dynasty formats • Mike Evans = fantasy WR4 rest-of-season, dude is an afterthought • Ronald Jones is cuttable in all formats • To my surprise, Gio Bernard is playing the James White role

Ezekiel Elliott managers watching Tony Pollard RB1

Relax. Everything’s going to be ok. I think. At least you didn’t draft Mike Evans, right?

TJ SMASH & CASH

Talk about securing the bag the right way. Imagine seeing T.J. Watt marching into your office. I’d agree to whatever he said too.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Steelers’ OLB T.J. Watt overruled his agents who believed they could get more money today, marched into the office of Steelers president Art Rooney and told him they had a deal. Then the NFL’s new highest-paid defensive player excused himself and announced he had to go work out.

Quick Tweets of the Day

Is it a big deal that Tua wasn’t voted captain?

Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann

It’s not necessarily a big story that Tua was not voted captain but at the same time we can all acknowledge that it’s weird that he wasn’t voted captain, right? https://t.co/XHJGvs2WJR

Your captains for the 2021 season... #FinsUp 🔘 @Roberts_52 🔘 @99JesseDavis 🔘 @ClayFejedelem 🔘 @mackhollins 🔘 @McCourtyTwins https://t.co/ye6sPWdSmE

I only see truth here:

Jeff Greenwood @TheFantasyEng

Calories don't count on days with NFL football.

And for my Odell believers:

Adam Levitan @adamlevitan

"It’s remarkable that Odell Beckham (ACL) looks as good as he does only 10 months out, but he's proving to be quite the freak of nature. He's been running full speed for months, cutting on a dime, and leaping high for receptions."

cleveland.comOdell Beckham Jr., Grant Delpit and Greedy Williams all expected to play vs. Chiefs: Browns InsiderBeckham, Delpit and Williams are all expected to face the Chiefs Sunday at Arrowhead.

THANK U - FOOTBALLS BACK. LETS GO.

Have an epic day
