Fantasy Football Thoughts

So as another fantasy football season winds down into the playoffs, and for me the consolation bracket, I found myself wondering what happened to my fantasy prowess from a couple years ago when I managed to win the Super Bowl with Josh McCown as my QB and Deshaun Foster and Jamal Lewis as my RB's the year Lewis came back from jail and stunk the place up. This year I started off 2-0 while managing the 9th lowest scoring total in the league through 2 games. Things didn't get much better from there, I basically lost all the important games and only beat a few teams that weren't playing for anything either. While passing on Rudi Johnson turned out to be quite fortunate, taking Willis McGahee and Reggie Bush instead doesn't appear to be much better. My defense stunk all year (by defense I mean luck because the teams you are playing aren't scoring points) and because of this interesting fantasy stat I have decided to give an award next year for the team with the best "defense." I have a few players worth keeping for next season, but Adrian Peterson is not one of them unfortunetly. My plan for next season is to realize that having a QB IS a good thing because I am sure the majority of teams that win Super Bowls aren't starting Rex Grossman or Eli Manning, and to maybe let a monkey pick my team. I think that my over analysis, and expansive knowledge of football stats and players ends up costing me. I need to be sure to focus on taking the best player, regardless of my personal feelings about them (I tend to not take Steelers, Browns or Patriots because of my utter hatred for them) Kevin meanwhile got stuck with a roster of 14 guys he despises and is still playing for a spot in the Super Bowl. While this may make stat watching painful to your personal life at least you can have bragging rights when it comes to fantasy football....and maybe that way I wouldn't have to pay out $250 of my own cash since I managed to spend all of the money people gave me to hold onto for the league winnings....oh well such is life
