Fantasy Football

Does anyone else here like to play Fantasy Football? I am currently playing in a league set up through one of the sports card sites I frequent. This is my 3rd year playing in this league, and last year I came in 2nd place.

I have a more or less solid team this year. My starting lineup is:
QB- Roethlisberger
WR- Hines Ward
WR- Mark Clayton

RB- Brandon Jacobs
RB- Ricky Williams
TE- Heath Miller
W/T- Mark Bradley
W/R- Michael Bush
K- Gostkowski
DEF- Ney York
DB- Antrel Rolle
DL- Jared Allen

Most of my players are putting up nice numbers but a few are underachieving in a BIG way. This is causing my points to fluctuate in big ways each week- a really annoying occurrence. I am hoping everyone balances out but for now I am stuck with it!

Anyway, Fantasy sports are actually pretty fun. You end up with your lineups through a draft so it really is luck of the draw. You put time into your draft choices (whether it is an auto or manual draft) but it is fun.

I play in a private league but it is easy to play in a public one- Yahoo runs hundreds of them! If you ever have a chance, check it out- they are pretty cool :)

  1. I've heard that Roethlisberger is an unpopular choice for fantasy football, but it seems like he's putting up some pretty good numbers this year. Maybe he'll finally get some respect this season...

    I would love to try a fantasy football league, but it seems like it would be pretty time consuming. I think I'll have to wait until I retire. I'm afraid I would get into it and then never get anything else done!

  2. It really isn't very time consuming at all- I just go in once a week to make sure my roster is in tip-top shape.

    Parker turned out to be a huge bust, and my solid start has turned into me sitting in last place in my league!

    O well, it is still fun!!!
