I have been playing Fantasy Football since the mid 90's and sadly seemed to have peaked in 1998 when I cruised to a smooth $1,500.00 bucks in The Sporting News Fantasy Football challenge. The trick with National contests is simple, if you are in the top 5 of the 25 team league you have a shot, if not, better luck next year. I used that money for my first trip to Vegas and sadly have not had the same luck since. I have been in two leagues of note, one was out of Exit42 which became Fanball and I was the Buffalo Bills of our league and the other league I started through Yahoo with my close friends. This is our fourth season, 10 teams and 13 games, with starters of QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, TE, K and DEF and playoffs in weeks 14-15-16. We don't play for money, just the pride of winning...My teams have finished 7th, 6th and 5th so I'm due to finish 4th, but if I can swing some of my Fantasy baseball mojo over there, maybe it will finally change. We do 5 keepers (marked with a K) and allow trading of picks. Here is my team: QB: Matt Ryan-k & David Garrard... WR: R Moss-k, L Evans, T. Holt, B. Edwards... RB: M Forte, L Tomlinson, S Slaton-k, L White, L Johnson... TE: T. Gonzalez-k... K: Akers... DEF: PHI... (I traded my #1 pick for Tomlinson and I tradded L. Fitzgerald for M. Forte & a 4th rd pick)
I will update this page weekly with my picks for sleepers and duds as well as who my starters are. The pre-season games just started so now we sit back and ride out the exhibition games and hope our guys come through okay. My plan? Use my RB depth to secure a solid WR or another impact player.
