Fantasy Football Week 1
Yeah, there are a lot of important things going on in the world, and here I am finding time only to blog about my fantasy teams. I can't even find time to blog about my OU Sooners. Oh well, you guys can handle all the important stuff; I'll stick to football.
So Week 1 in the MCFFL and my Black Riders have come away victorious defeating the always dangerous Marksmen. It's a good start for my team that finished in the cellar last year. We are having some kinks in the new league software but the final score looks like it will be 124-95. The 124 points is second only to the defending champion Norsemen's 134. My crucial plays were Corey Dillon, Rudi Johnson and Randy McMichael. A good sign is that I also had the most bench points (97), 11 more than the next guy, and the most potential points (148). My hindsight play would have been Larry Fitzgerald over Donald Driver. The concerns I have - Javon Walker's injury. That will probably hurt Brett Favre's value. Donald Driver now becomes the number one receiver, but that means he'll also face better CB's and possibly some double coverage. Thankfully, I'm deep at receiver.
In my yahoo league, my Ring Wraiths dominated, winning our game 91-61. The 91 points was best in the league, 20 more than the next highest total. The key plays - Randy Moss, Rian Lindell (who woulda known?) and the Pittsburgh defense. My hindsight plays - Keenan McCardell and Larry Fitzgerald over Isaac Bruce and Eddie Kennison. My concerns - RB. Steven Jackson had a mediocre game. My backups are Mike Anderson (injured), Cedric Benson (being eased into offense), and Marshall Faulk (did next to nothing as a reserve). I need Jackson to perform until Benson becomes the number one guy so that I'll have options.
