Fantasy football giveth and fantasy football taketh away.
If you were like me, the moment you found out you had the top overall selection in your fantasy football draft was exhilarating. I never get the first pick!
Until this year that is. I ended up with the first pick twice (out of five leagues). Which meant I was going to draft the all-purpose Cardinals dynamo David Johnson in at least two leagues.
Which means two of my teams were thrown into complete disarray when Johnson severely dislocated his wrist Week 1 against the Lions. He'll miss eight weeks best case scenario.
You can't completely replicate the production David Johnson was capable of providing. No matter how excited I am about the Bears' scatback Tarik Cohen's potential, he isn't Johnson. You may get aggressive and test your league's trade market, but you'd be dipping into your perceived depth to do so.
Hopefully you didn't draft Jaguars' receiver Allen Robinson, too, who will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury. (I did in one of my Johnson leagues).
Hopefully, fantasy football gets back to giving this week.
Here's my best bets for Week 2:
