I'm currently in 6 fantasy football leagues, which is probably 5 too many, but what the hell. I mentioned earlier on this blog that along with fantasy football advice (and I use that term loosely), I would share with you my fantasy teams and their successes and failures.
So far, I'm staring down the barrel of an 0-2 start in two redraft leagues on Yahoo. Not cool. Its not the end of the season, but even a 1-1 start makes you feel somewhat more optimistic about your season.
Here are my rosters...
YAHOO TEAM #1:
QB Hasselbeck
WR WAYNE
WR S. SMITH (NYG)
WR S MOSS
RB RICE
RB FOSTER
TE Z MILLER (OAK)
BN CRABTREE
BN KOLB
BN HIGHTOWER
BN J. STEWART
BN B. JACKSON (GB)
I went with the starting lineup above as you see it, subbing out Crabtree for Moss. Its a non-PPR, and one of my mistakes was drafting Smith at WR. I'm probably going to drop him for either Kevin Walter or D. Thomas in Denver. Thoughts?
YAHOO TEAM #2
QB RIVERS
WR A. JOHNSON
WR. G. JENNINGS
RB PIERRE THOMAS
RB JONATHON STEWART
RB/WR DEVONNE BESS
TE Z MILLER
BN PORTIS
BN M. WILLIAMS (SEA)
BN D. MASON
BN J. FORSETT
BN. V. JACKSON (SD)
BN K. BRITT
I had a great game out of Jennings last week, nothing from Johnson. This week? AJ shows up HUGE, Jennings goes scoreless against Buffalo. My opposition has Frank Gore going tonight, while I have Thomas. Oh, and I'm down about 17 points. I've got a waiver request in for Mike Thomas, and I would drop Bess in return. Thoughts?
So, I like both teams, and I still think I can be competitive, but Christ does 0-2 look bad. If you're in the same boat, take heart. Its early, your team probably isn't as bad as you think it is. Fantasy Football entails a helluva lotta luck. Not only do your players have to play well, but you have no control whatsoever on how your oppostion's players perform. Its a long season, and together we will get through it. I've got some more post-mordem to dissect, but I'll be back tomorrow with some early lines on who I like in week 3, and who gets the start on my own fantasy teams. God help us all...
