Fantasy Football is probably just so familiar to all of you now that you don't really put a lot of thought into it, but I'm an Englishman who is still rather new to the NFL and so this is the first FF league I've been involved in this season. Damn it is so much more complex than the equivalent here for our football. Drafts, trades, adds, drops, waivers...it takes a little getting used to! Not that I'm complaining, at all, I'm actually having a lot of fun with it. Plus I'm currently second place, at 2-1.
I'm playing first place this week though, and have Jordy Nelson out on their bye week. I think I may just get a rookie sized beating this week. |

I keep thinking of a season that most of you are too young to remember, but there was in this season an offensive JUGGERNAUT, they scored at will all season long, it seemed that NO ONE could stop them and no one DID stop them all season, Their quarterback was the MVP, and in the opening round of the playoffs they put an unmerciful BEATDOWN on their opening round opponent, then squeaked out a win against what would become a dynasty in the conference championship to advance to the Superbowl. They were universal favorites to win. What few saw was that they were up against a FEARSOME defense, a defense that was extremely talented at all positions but ESPECIALLY at cornerback, maybe the greatest cornerback duo ever to play the game. Those two corners COMPLETELY shut down the vaunted passing game, SMOTHERING the wideouts, allowing the remainder of the defense to dismantle their power running attack and make the MVP quarterback's day fecking MISERABLE. The result of the game was a humiliating beating, one of the most one sided Superbowls ever played. The season was 1983. Superbowl XVIII. |

I actually consider FF the simplest fantasy league out there, and because of that, it's also the best sport to have a fantasy team in. You only have to worry about setting your lineup once a week usually and combining everyone's points into a standard score makes it a lot easier. In fantasy sports like basketball you have to gauge how many rebounds, steals, etc. your team will get on a week-to-week basis. |

Also the PL FF is just a bit of fun amongst friends. It's very rarely mentioned on TV coverage etc, whereas the NFL FF has a life of its own. It's huge. Anyway my team is: Tom Brady / CJ Spiller / Ahmad Bradshaw / Julio Jones / Jordy Nelson / Kellen Winslow / Julian Edelman / Andy Dalton / Nate Washington / Jason Snelling / Isiah Pead / James Jones / Heath Miller / David Akers / Chicago Bears |

and i would start snelling over bradshaw for the time being i'm rolling at 2-0 and 1st place right now. huge week from demarco murray helped me stay #1 in points. 10 team keeper league, 2 flex positions qb: romo rb: demarco murray, darren mcfadden wr: calvin, julio te: tony g wr/rb: demaryius thomas wr/rb: mike wallace def: seattle bench rb snelling rb bilal powell rb fred jackson qb rivers wr stephen hill |
RB and TE are the gaps in my team for sure. I've already had two TEs injured so I dont really have a strong starter there. I'm hoping Miller gets more game time over the next few weeks. I know I need to be looking at a trade for a RB, I just haven't quite sorted what I want yet. At least Bradshaw had a great week last week to keep me ticking over.

here is my fantasty team.
