Fantasy Football Playoffs
Most all Fantasy Football leagues are starting or into the playoffs. For me personally it has been a strange year. It has been a tale of two leagues.
League one:
RB heavy league, and I have Willis McGehee, Larry Johnson, Ryan Grant, Marshawn Lynch. Injuries and playing time have been played out well between these four, I really don't feel that I have started the wrong guy or did not have enough guys available to play.
WR: Marquez Colston, Wes Welker, Calvin Johnson and Anquin Boldin. Again not too back, Welker was a nice surprise and did burn me a few weeks when he was not the guy of the week, but I think I knew that was a possibility for this team. Only when one of the others on my bench out performed the others.
TE Dallas Clark IND, Great pick, the tenth TE picked in this league and a top five performer.
K Jason Elam and Matt Stover, both should have been solid picks, I messed these guys up more then I got them right, Starting the one that got just one extra point while the other kicked fifteen field goals!! ARGG.
DEF, for some strange reason, I felt comfortable in the draft that the QB's I wanted would be around one more round, Tony Romo was one of them and I was not obviously high on him having selected three RB and 2 WR before this point in the draft. So I took a stab at a good DEF as I never have one in this league. (should have stuck with what works). So I took the Bears, ouch, my big mistake, and them to make matters worse we are required to have two Def, so Houston looked like the best availble def on the bye week for the bears. I rarly started the right defense going with the Bears early then Houston, then picking the best match up, and finding I know nothing about match ups this year.
QB, in this league QB do not get as many points as other positions, 3 points for TD, and 1 for every 50 passing. so I decided I would wait until 6-8 round in picking one, I ended up picking 9-10th round QB Matt Leinart and Alex Smith, when one of them whent down, I picked up Daute Culpepper and he was good for a win. but then nothing. so I found that I dropped him and found Marc Buldger on the waiver wire, I was surprised and not sure why, so I picked him up only to find out that when the wind blew this year he got hurt. I had a dream about Sage Rosenfels, the next weekend he has a monster week. I ignored it, a few weeks later Matt Shaub was due back off the injury so I grabbed him. now I just finished the season losing 5 games by a total of 15 points, all due to my greedy grab of the Bears Defense..... I would have hated Tony Romo, until he started playing like he did and then I would have been much more happy.
Fortunately we have a toilet bowl for screw ups like me, I now have Sage on my team and no other QB.
BTW I was not smart enough to pick Ryan grant, I watched him run all over the Broncos and decided he would sit nicely on my bench behind Johnson, McGahee, and Lynch, instead of Dushawn foster my last player position pick.
