So how'd everyone do?


KD in CA

For the first time in 12 years of fantasy football, I was crushed in multiple league - I didn't come anywhere near the playoffs.

 

Most of it was bad luck and injuries - I've never been hit so hard. On one team my QB was McNabb, my #1RB was McAllister and my best WR was Darrell Jackson - ouch!

 

Lessons learned:

 

-No matter how good a RB looks in Denver, never take a Broncos RB. You'll go insane watching him have 100+ yards and 2 TDs one week and lose the starting job to another guy the following week.

 

-No matter how good or how much of a lock a TE or Team D is, don't spend anything to get one (you figure in a value based drafting strategy you'll take someone that will be significantly better than others at the same position so it will work out, but taht doesn't seem to hold true with TE and defenses).

 

-Never draft a RB who everyone says will be the #1 guy unless the #2 and #3 guys are in wheelchairs. I got some good values on Deshaun Foster and Deuce Staley late, and went crazy watching them eat up spots on my roster while riding the pine for their teams.

 

-Remember that the Bills o-line sucks and Willis won't live up to his fantasy potential until it improves.

 

-If you play in multiple leagues, don't draft the same players. When McAllister went down early in the season I was toast in 2 leagues.

 

-Understand that when you look at everyone's team after the draft, the people who you think drafted good squads will probably suck and the people who look weak will probably be battling for the money at the end. If you like your team after the draft be concerned.

 

-If you put up the second most points in the league in any given week you almost certainly played the only team who could have beat you (and in fact did).

 

-Life sucks when the Bills go 5-11 and your fantasy teams are terrible. You wonder why you like football in the first place.
