THE NFL SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I was away. But the first game of the season was last night and it was this past seasons Super Bowl, rematch!!!! Here is what happened.

Panthers @ Broncos        My Predicted Winner: Broncos     Final Score: Broncos 21, Panthers 20

As you can see this was a VERY CLOSE GAME! It came down to the last few seconds but I will tell you about that later. First lets just say Broncos new starting QB Trevor Siemian played VERY WELL. Siemian threw the ball very well and had a great game. Everyone was happy with his play. Broncos RB C.J. Anderson was the best player of last night. He scored 25 fantasy points in most leagues with 2 touchdowns and lots of carries for many yards. The start of the game had the Panthers scoring on a throw to WR Kelvin Benjamin, Cam Newton looked great. Then the Broncos fullback ran in for a great touchdown to tie the game at 7-7. Then after a long drive, Cam Newton rushed himself into the endzone. 14-7 Panthers. Right before half, Panthers kicker Graham Gano hit a nice field goal to put the score 17-7 Panthers. After half the Broncos made their comeback. Trevor Siemian turned on a completed a bunch of passes, C.J. Anderson scored a TD and the Broncos D started sacking Cam Newton like the Super Bowl. 17-14, still Panthers. Then C.J. ran in for another touchdown to put the Broncos on top at 21-17. After that the Panthers put in a drive that resulted in a field goal, making it a 1 point game. The Broncos turned the ball over and the Panthers got it back with hopes of winning. As the Panthers inched down the field, time ran out. At the Broncos 47 with 9 seconds left, the Panthers brought out kicker Graham Gano to try to make the game winning field goal. BOOM! The ball went way off to the side and had no chance of going in. The Broncos celebrated while the Panthers went 0-1. Their chances of going undefeated already down the drain. What a game! Trevor Siemian and C.J. Anderson played VERY WELL!

OTHER NEWS:
Seahawks RB Christine Michael to take the start against the Dolphins this weekend over Thomas Rawls who has injury risk. Jimmy Graham also to play.
Vikings are starting backup QB Shaun Hill over Sam Bradford week 1 so Bradford has another week to learn all of the teams ways.
Rob Gronkowski not expected to play week 1 v Cardinals

My fantasy week 1 starts and sits will be up soon! NFL IS BACK!!!!!!!

BREAKING: Teddy Bridgewater Tears ACL, Joey Bosa Signs Deal, Broncos Name Trevor Siemian Starting QB

Hi, in the last 2 days a lot of BIG news has happened. Here it all is:

Teddy Bridgewater: Today in practice apparently QB Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non contact knee injury which later turned out to be an ACL tear. This means Bridgewater should probably be out for the season. This is terrible for the Vikings, Teddy was wobbly his first 2 seasons in Minnesota and was starting to get the hang of things when he tore his ACL. This will set him back. The Vikings even used their first round pick on wide receiver Laquon Treadwell who was supposed to help Bridgewater develop. The Vikings still have a dominate defense and Adrian Peterson but their backup QB's are messes. I'm wondering how they will do this year. The Vikings do have options though, Mark Sanchez didn't get the starting role in Denver so he may be open, Colin Kaepernick isn't happy with the 49ers and might not start, Josh McCown isn't starting and the Browns might want to get rid of him.

Joey Bosa: No. 3 overall pick in this years NFL Draft, DE Joey Bosa finally signed his contract. He and the Chargers facility had been in a contract battle and Bosa turned down great offers and things weren't looking good for him playing this season when he finally signed his deal. Bosa will really help a crappy D-line and he has such a high chance of being great. The Chargers lucked out on drafting him. This will be a great deal and the Chargers probably won't regret it.

Trevor Siemian: The Broncos have finally named their starting QB. Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian, and rookie Paxton Lynch were all fighting for the job. Lynch was the favorite to start later on in the year and Mark Sanchez was the favorite to be the week 1 starter. Things didn't go as planned. Trevor Siemian played well in pre-season week 1, but so did Sanchez. Week 2, Sanchez and Siemian both weren't great, and week 3, Sanchez was decent but Siemian was great. He looked super comfortable in the offense and since he was the only QB who had been on the roster for more than a year, the Broncos felt more comfortable about starting him. I totally agree with the Broncos and now the questions are, Will Mark Sanchez retire, backup Siemian, or go to another team? And...When will Paxton Lynch step in at starter. Multiple teams may want to trade for Sanchez such as the quarterbackless Vikings or maybe the Cowboys who are looking for a veteran QB. What happens to Sanchez will be a mystery.

Thanks for reading, another weird thing that happened is the Eagles cut WR Rueben Randle who they seemed to like earlier in the pre-season.

BREAKING: TONY ROMO OUT UNTIL MID-SEASON

Hi, something crazy happened yesterday and I'm here to tell you about it. Before we start here is some news that the Rams sign WR Tavon Austin to a 4 year contract extension. Here is the big news:

Two posts ago I was talking about ho Tony Romo got hurt in the Seahawks Vs. Cowboys game but got up and seemed fine. Then backup QB Dak Prescott came in and played super well. Turns out Romo is actually out for half the season. He has a broken bone in his back and its not great for him or the Cowboys. If Romo gets hurt one more time, either the Cowboys will stop starting him due to his injury risk or he will get seriously hurt and not be able to play again. I see one more injury in Romo's career and then it's over. Dak Prescott is the future of the Cowboys' signal caller. Now people are saying crazy things, its over, the Cowboys will have another terrible year. Not true. First off its only 8 games, then Romo is back. Second, Dak Prescott is amazing. He has played super well in the pre-season and has the highest passer rating of any QB during the pre-season. Even though it is just pre-season, Dak looks really good and was steady even against Seattle's tough defense. Dak will set them up for wins and if he's as good as I think he'll be, Cowboys fans won't want Romo back in when he comes back. When Romo does come back, I don't thinks its gonna last. Last year when he broke his collarbone in week 2 and then finally came back around week 10, then re-injured it after only one more week. Dak Prescott has Rookie of the Year potential. I can see this happening again and the end of his career is soon, it's sad, but its true. Romo is on his way out, Dak Prescott is on his way in.

Some Other Pre-Season News:
-Browns WR Josh Gordon has a great game catching 2 long passes for 87 yards and a TD
-Broncos QB Trevor Siemian plays very well and its looking like he is going to be starter this year

Thanks for reading, sorry Cowboys fans...but Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will be good!

Picking a Winner out of Positional Battles

Hi, since their are still some battles going on for the starting job for teams, I am picking some winners. Here it is:

Broncos Starting QB: Paxton Lynch Vs. Trevor Siemian Vs. Mark Sanchez:
I think the Broncos are going to name Trevor Siemian as the starter. Out of the 3 of them, he is the only one to have been on the Broncos last year which means he has more experience with the team and its playing style. Siemian has looked decent in the pre-season and also from being on the team last year, he has trained a lot with Peyton Manning, one of the best QB's in NFL history. I would say Paxton Lynch has played the best and deserves the starting role but the Broncos don't want to start him until later in the season, probably to train him a little because its a big transition from college to the pros. Trevor Siemian will get the job.

49ers Starting QB: Colin Kaepernick Vs. Blaine Gabbert:
I'm giving this one to Kaepernick, he has so much experience with the team, he lead them to the NFC championship a few years ago, just because he had one down year doesn't mean the 49ers should be giving crappy Blaine Gabbert the job. Kaepernick is also so much better, he can pass well, he's a great runner, he deserves the job and will get it. Just because he had surgeries and hasn't played as much lately doesn't set him back. Kaepernick will get the job that he deserves.

Rams Starting QB: Jared Goff Vs. Case Keenum:
I'm giving the win to Goff. Even though I think it was stupid for the Rams to give up so much to trade up to the first pick, Goff will still get the job. Case Keenum had a chance to lock the starting gig down last year and blew it with just one good game against like the Buccaneers. Goff has looked terrible in these first pre-season games but I think he needs to start. He gives the Rams a new chance to win and I think they will keep him at the job. The Rams should have just waited a season and waited until the QB stacked 2017 draft which holds 10 QB's who are projected to go in the first round, they would have still got someone good and they wouldn't have had to trade. Goff will still get the job but I'm not saying he'll be good.

Seahawks Starting RB: Christine Michael Vs. Thomas Rawls:
Rawls was supposed to be the hands down starter until Michael stepped in this pre-season and started playing well. Rawls ended the season with an injury and hasn't played since, even though he is supposed to be ready for week 1. Rawls won't play in the pre-season and Michael has been and he has been playing well, people are questioning if Rawls will get the job back and I'm saying he will. Michael is good, but Rawls is better. These are pre-season games, they don't matter, the top defenses are out and no one is totally trying. Rawls is the starter and will get a shot at the start of the season but if he plays badly, Michael might have a chance to steal the starting job. I think Michael will be able to get some carries out of Rawls' workload if Rawls starts himself.

Thanks for reading and make sure to watch some pre-season games today, especially the Rams vs Broncos which will feature two of the starting job battles, Broncos QB and Rams QB. It will be a great game.
