Fantasy Football – The Team

As a follow-up to my last post…..We had our Fantasy Football draft last night. Great job by our new Commissioner, Aaron Baker, or “Bake” as I often call him. It was a fun night and should be an interesting season. My wife made some excellent picks in her first effort and I was really proud of her.

In our league, we pick 14 players and start 8 each week.

Now, on to my team. Here are the members of Anchormen 2 with those I am starting in Week 1 in bold:

QB’s:   Peyton Manning and David Gerrard
RB’s:   Marion Barber, Maurice Jones-Drew, Brandon Jacobs & Selvin Young
WR’s:  Reggie Wayne, Laveranues Coles, Roy Williams & Santonio Holmes
TE’s:   Donald Lee & Heath Miller
K:       Adam Vinatieri 
DEF:   Pittsburgh Steelers

I feel pretty good about my roster but have some questions at running back. What do you think? Which backs would you start?

Let me know what you think in the comment section.

Here’s to a great season!

Fantasy Football – Here We Go Again

Tuesday night will mark draft night for my 2nd season in Fantasy Football. Last year I really didn’t do very well and I hope to have a better team this year. My team name last year was the Anchormen…..so, this year, I decided to get really creative and chose  Anchormen 2.

 I’m hoping to pick in a good position this year. I picked in the middle of the round last year and quickly realized that was not prime picking location. I’m hoping for either early or late so that either I get first dibs at good players or I get picks close together.

For me, playing is really about the camaraderie of spending time with friends and trying to out-think them. Most often I have fallen into silly traps in the past….hopefully I can fix that this year.

Any thoughts on the draft? Quarterback first? Running Back? Best available player? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.

Oh yeah, Kim is playing in the league this year. Should make for a fun and interesting season!

Let me hear your thoughts on the draft……
