Fantasy Football- bad luck with QBs
Who doesn't love fantasy football? It is the safest gambling one can do when it comes to NFL football. We throw $100 into a pot and we pick players that we think will have great seasons statistically on the field. It is my 6th year of fantasy football and I have yet to win my league ever. I try so hard year in and year out to win, but somehow or another my QB fails. My QBs the last few seasons- Derek Anderson (2009), Brett Favre (2010), Chad Henne (2010) and Matt Cassell (2009) and now the injured Peyton Manning in 2011. I know. This is a horrible collection of fantasy football QBs, but somehow or another all the top QBs are gone by the time I draft and then I'm stuck with middle of the pack QBs that aren't fantasy material. Am I QB cursed? Maybe and the trend continues in 2011...I drafted Peyton Manning in the 5th round. Our draft was a few days before the big announcement that Manning would be out for the majority of the season and I really thought he'd be back. So I'm all in this season on....Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, yes Harvard graduate Ryan Fitzpatrick, formerly of the Rams and Bengals. Could this be his breakout season? Maybe. Fitz as I call him did chuck 4 TD passes Week 1 in a thrashing of the Chiefs 41-7. I have to say I'm sold on Fitz, he was a nice bye week replacement for me in 2010 and I targeted him again in later rounds this season to be my Manninf insurance and now he is my starter. Henne and Cam Newton were quickly scooped up off the waiver wire and it just leaves me Fitz. I have to say despite losing Manning for probably the entire season, Chan Gailey's fresh look in Buffalo could trigger Fitz to a breakout season...

Any other year P. Manning is a fantasy sure-thing. Tough break - Undoubtedly QB karma for consciously drafting Derek Anderson and Chad Henne in past years.
ReplyDeleteGet it together kid. Quit waiting til the 5th round to pick up a quarterback!
