Daniel or Shannon? I’m leaving this one alone.

I don’t see enough between these teams to pick a winner. Daniel's Driven Team and Shannon's Super Team both have a good way to start 1–0.
Daniel has a backfield I like, with Christian McCaffrey at the center of it. Shannon has good backs too, and more receiver choices around them. I can make a case for either one without having to talk myself into much.
Daniel’s using three running backs, while Shannon has a receiver in the flex. If Daniel’s backs get the work and produce, Shannon will need the receivers to keep up. If they don’t, he could be watching her score climb while waiting for somebody to get another carry.
That’s an ordinary fantasy problem, but it’s a lot more interesting when it’s your team. Suddenly you have opinions about how an NFL offense should run, mostly based on which players you happen to own.
No pick here. They can settle this themselves. Whoever wins gets the first bit of bragging room in #ob-elite-fantasy-football, and one win is probably enough to get started.
