We've already seen a lot of Week 1 narratives die a grisly death as Week 2 draws to a close. Justin Fields is a matchup-proof QB1, the Lions' offense is in trouble, Daniel Jones and the Colts aren't for real, just to name a few. I will remind you again, however, the best predictor of

Hey, is anybody old enough to remember 2024 Week 1 waiver wire darling Isaiah Likely? Pepperidge Farm remembers. As it happens, so do we. We had experts advising people to spend 50%+ FAAB on him and his 12 Week 1 targets. Of course, Likely went on to earn another 41 throughout the entire rest of
