NFL + Fantasy

Season finally started. My Fantasy Team is The Vortex of Suck (2-1) because of how I finished last year. Here's my roster:

QB's: I started Roethlisberger (43) over Ryan (60). That's right I benched a guy who got 60 points.
RB's: I started Elliot (16) and McCaffrey (23); benched Yeldon (8). Plus 8.
WR's: I started Green (5), Ridley (38), and Ginn (9)(flex); benched Fitzgerald (0) and Thomas (6). The "Riddler" got off with 3 TD's for Atlanta. Good call starting him, but still minus 1.
TE's: I started Howard (7); benched Engram (1) and Hooper (4). Good call.
Defense: Jacksonville (11)
Kicker: Boswell (6)

Total 158, left 18 points on the bench (again), but still won my matchup by 45 points. Yay me.

Also Saints 43, Falcons 37 in an OT shootout. Now 1-2.
