Early fantasy football blunders

One of the downsides to working on Sunday morning - and punching in by 6AM - means that I don't get the latest information when I set my fantasy roster.  Today, I had Arian Foster running against the Colts, except he didn't run at all.

It's frustration for sure.  I'm not in a typical league either.  I'm in a league that resets players every week so people can pick who they think will do best given the salary cap.  And with a whole slew of RB's available, there really isn't an excuse not to have a functional RB in my squad.  I'll chalk it up to Week 1 jitters.

But damn.  Such a wasted opportunity.

How 'bout you all?  Anybody step in it right off the bat?  Did anybody dare start the 49'ers D/ST?  I can't stand the commercials.  I can't stand the new rules.  And I can't stand slow-mo instant replay to see when the ball starts to move to determine if the runner maintained control.  But damn, I do love some fantasy football.
