Anyone up for Fantasy Football?

Recommended Posts

Draft Owens in the 1st round?

 

I will just come out and say it..

 

Im the worst Fantasy Sports Player on TSM that keeps coming back for more losing year after year.

 

It was amazing that I won a bowl game in Bored's Pickem contest last year, but that isn't really the same as fantasy football/baseball/basketball.

 

I really enjoy playing fantasy sports but I clearly don't have enough patience for it (Im usually always at the top of the league in # of waivers/trades).

Flashback to last years draft:

 

QB M. Hasselbeck (Sea - QB)

WR A. Boldin (Ari - WR)

WR I. Bruce (StL - WR)

RB J. Lewis (Bal - RB)

RB T. Wheatley (Oak - RB)

TE I. Mili (Sea - TE)

WR/TE A. Davis (Cle - WR)

K M. Vanderjagt (Ind - K)

DEF Carolina (Car - DEF)

BN R. Gardner (Was - WR)

BN I. Hilliard (NYG - WR)

BN K. Boller (Bal - QB)

 

Granted, this was a month earlier (July 20th) and it was an auction draft, but still..that just plain stunk.

 

Boldin got hurt, Hasselbeck didn't live up to his OMG HE'S GONNA EXPLODE THIS YEAR hype, Issac Bruce = OLD, Jamal missed 4 games for the suspension, Wheatley didn't do anything in Turner's offense, Mili wasn't even the #1 TE in Seattle, Carolina's defense wasn't as good as it was the year prior, Vanderjagt even had an off year..etc..

Best value pick was Vick in the 4th. Worst pick was JJ Arrington in the 3rd. I don't know why, but I did not like that one at all.

I think I look tremendous

 

 

In all serious, they guy who is fucked the most is the guy who picked Randy Moss. I forget who he is, but he didnt take a RB till the 4th. Thats asking for it....

I drafted Rudi Johnson and Tatum Bell in consecutive rounds (2nd and 3rd).

 

I think you are talking about 'Preseason Holdouts", who drafted Peyton, Holt, Reggie Wayne and Cadillac in said rounds.

If anyone needs players for a second TSM league, I'm in. I want at least two teams to manage for the season.

 

EDIT: If you're reading this and are interested too, leave a message so we can drum up owners.

I think the team I drafted turned out pretty solid. I have two of the top 12 QBs from last year in terms of fantasy points. I have 3 good starting receivers and 3 backups who at least 1 of should turn out pretty good. If Marcel Shipp manages to beat out JJ Arrington in Arizona then I'm looking good everywhere.

My mistake. I was speaking of Preseason Holdout.

Yeah, i'm the guy who didn't take any Running Backs until the 4th and 6th rounds with Carnell Williams & Michael Bennett. I'm hoping the Peyton Manning/Reggie Wayne duo connect for enough TD's to make up for it, though considering how late i took them Cadillac/Bennett/Ricky Williams/Thomas Jones isn't too bad, but i definately pushed my luck and it could just as easily be a disaster as a success. Here's hoping Benson keeps holding out for Chicago and gives Jones the starting job.

 

I probably should have taken Chad Johnson over Torry Holt and not dicked around and waited until everyone was gone until i picked my 3rd WR (and considering 2/3 of my WR's have the same bye week i'll be screwed then), but overall i don't think i did too bad. QB is strong of course with Manning and a good backup in Carr, Holt/Wayne/Price is a solid WR crop and potentially very good if Price actually performs, though i doubt it and i have zero depth, TE is set with Witten, New England gives me an top Defence, RB will hopefully be good enough though i lack an elite player, things could be worse.

I kind of like my team, and I kind of hate it.

 

Positives:

 

I've got 2 nice RBs. Jamal is a solid #1 back and Lamont Jordan will hopefully bust out as a starter in Oakland as signs in the preseason are indicating.

 

I've got 3 good WR. Driver/Boldin/Patten.

 

I managed to salvage a decent TE in Franks

 

Negatives

 

I've currently got no depth at RB. Im guessing drafting Benson was a mistake..if he doesn't sign soon Im in trouble.

 

Alex Smith is my backup/Bye Week QB. Hopefully he won't be held out of starting too long.

 

???

 

No real proven depth at WR. Braylon Edwards and Mark Clayton..could be big..could be big busts. For the sake of the Ravens, I hope Clayton turns out to be a good WR..but I have my doubts about that. Edwards will probably have more impact halfway into the season, which may or may not help me much.

 

Vick isn't really that great of a fantasy QB under the scoring rules for the league. Hopefully he might throw for a few more TDs, but..who knows.
