I invested heavily in Tennessee's offense across all three of my leagues.
This actually worried me, as I've noticed in the past you've done pretty well picking a team, more than a player. I was okay with it since I nabbed Julio but he's off to a slow start (one game, whatever, but still). I used to do something similar with baseball, I remember one year I went in really hard on Houston pitchers and they all overperformed.
But I guess it does come with its risks, too. Still early, though.
and the Cardinals being much better defensively than people expected this season.
This is always the big thing, every year: who won or lost because they're not what we thought? Maybe such-and-such's offense isn't that good, or maybe we had no idea how good the defense they were playing is. We won't know for a few weeks. I do think the latter happens a lot, though. I think surprisingly good defenses pop up out of nowhere more often than the inverse.
I'm going to be kicking myself all season long for my hesitancy to add him when I had the chance.
I can relate to this feeling, but really, it's unavoidable, yeah? This is the downside of tryharding, of being aware of every sleeper: no matter who busts out, you can specifically recall
considering going for them. You'll inevitably "touch" every breakout, either by rostering them for a bit or having them on a short list for a pickup, or whatever. It can be maddening, but it seems worse than it is the more engaged you are.
