Andrew Luck retiring didn’t make that much sense, that was shocking to hear at first. When Steve retired he was nowhere near Andrew Luck’s status. Can’t defend this decision. Not justifiable, doesn’t care where he is mentally, doesn’t care where he is physically because the timing was not professional. To retire just before the season was not a fair move to the organization.  It’s a lower leg injury, it’s going to heal. Your teammates and organization deserve better. To do that two weeks before the season was not right. Could have said to his coach, I need a few weeks to clear my head, put me on the IR, will come back in three or 4 weeks. That team is built for a run at this point. If Jacoby Brissett can just go 4 and 4 the Colts will still be in a good position if he were to come back. People are going to say nice things, but they are devastated in that facility. Truly hopes Luck comes back

Alvin Kamara is critical to the passing game for the Saints, he is always a good fantasy guy. Expect Ezekiel Elliott to return and do very well. What separates running backs form receivers is they can do it on both ends. Le’Veon Bell isn’t that high among fantasy owners at this point, but expect him to be very prolific with Jets.  If Antonio Brown is healthy he’ll give you the numbers you want as a Fantasy Owner

In regards to Tyreek Hill, it was hard at first, but it seems like things are back to normal in the locker room. The reality is the Chiefs feel confident in Hill. The organization is 100% behind him. Has continued to work out with Patrick Mahomes even when suspended. There is a belief that Andy Reid will get them to the Super Bowl. He’s the perfect guy for Patrick Mahomes
