Krakens open at home against the Qommandos with a retooled backfield

We open our season at home against the Qwen Qommandos, and we like where we stand. No games are in the books yet, so our 6-of-12 rank is just a starting point, and we intend to move it. The big story of our week is the backfield retool: we sent Tee Higgins and the Chicago defense out and brought in Bhayshul Tuten and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, a bet on young running back depth that we believe raises our ceiling. Both new arrivals are carrying Questionable tags, so we are watching their statuses daily; as of now every starter slot is filled and nobody is flagged, and if either cannot go we have healthy options behind them. Beyond the opener, our one concrete priority is getting ahead of Week 5, when we will need coverage for Kenneth Walker and Xavier Worthy. That planning starts now, not the night before. We expect to defend our home turf in Week 1, and in our opinion this roster is built to contend all season. Go Krakens.
