Too early to be on a ledge without major injury issues.
Call back week 4 if you are 0-4...

I was in a league a few years ago where someone squeaked into the playoffs with an 8-5 record and won the championship.
0-2 isn't preferrable, but it's not a death sentence. Fantasy football is random enough to where you can recover from it. The last thing you want to do is shake up your team too much and not make any progression. But, you should also be aware enough to know which players are likely to improve and which aren't. Also, as FantasyFanatic said, injuries and bye weeks will test depth and even things out.
Looking at your team, I think you should just be patient.
Cousins/Bell/Abdullah/Thomas/DT/Hopkins/Gronk is a very good team. Once Bell gets his rust off, you should be in better shape.

Abdullah for Elliot straight up. I'd trade Zeke while you can bro and you won't get a better offer than this.Bot101 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 1:05 pmNo stay on the ledge!

In a 20 Team league this was my starting line up before injuries and I'm currently 0-4
Luck, Roethlisberger
Johnson, Bell
Green, OBJ, Parker
Ertz, Walker
You would think I'd be stopping the league, not so much.

Well i think you can bounce back 0-2 isn't too bad of hole I mean I'm 0-2 in 2 leagues and i'm not even panicking yet, I know drafted well and it's just a couple things have went as planned i.e. Andrew Luck injury and Jimmy Graham having a slow start, you have to analyze your team and then move forward from there.

I started 0-5 about 5-7 years ago and made some trades for the future that really panned out that year. Ended up not losing another game the rest of the season and made it in as a wild card and won the championship (300 buy in league with top 2 only making the money so huge pot). Loved it and had a blast, love to thank Roddy White, Stafford, Dez, and Lynch's first season in Seattle for the win. 0-2 can easily be overcome. As a side note I am only in leagues with "Victory Points" or last playoff spot is total points scores to make sure the best teams make it into the playoffs. I find it more fun that way, I have both benefited and lost our due to these rules which I'm not disappointed about at all

Started 0-4, Now I'm 6-4 and off to a 96-0 start with the Killer B's this week. Currently have the 2nd most points in the league and currently in 4th place out of 10 teams. Slow starts can be recovered from.

Great to hear.
Glad I listened to everyone and didn’t freak out. Started 0-3 but made way to 5-5 now and pretty good bet for playoffs at this point. Plus, I’m 2nd in scoring so I like my chances.
I actually should be 6-4 too, if not for Juju and his 97 yard TD. Totally derailed me that week lol.

Started 1-3. Had Rob Kelley, Spencer Ware, OBJ, Edelman, Jordan Reed, Gillislee, Pierre Garcon, TY Hilton... But have been able to battle through it. Picked up Mckinnon / ASJ (in off-season), drafted Kamara / Engram, and traded OBJ / Reed for some good pieces that'll help this year too. Won 5 straight but lost last week. 6-4 with playoffs looking really likely. 4th out of 12 in points.
It has definitely been the most "grind" I've ever had to do in FF.

Two years ago a team in my league started 1-6. He then proceeded to win 6 straight regular season games and then 3 playoff games to win the Ship. You just gotta make the playoffs... and usually it is the team’s winning in the 2nd half of the season you should be scared of.
