My Fantasy Football woes part 2:
Since my last update things have gone from bad to worse. My team has a second to last record of 2-5-1. Yes thats right a tie. The worst possible outcome of any sporting event on the face of the planet. It happened last week while I was playing my brothers team, who by the way is in last place. Any ways, I went into the match up feeling very confident. My projections were good, and i was coming off a rare win from the previous week. However, the fantasy football gods decided to plague my team with injuries yet again. Maurice Jones-Drew injured his foot without getting me a single point. To make matters worse he will be out for at least four weeks.So MJD gave me nice old goose egg, while my kicker and tight end combined for 1 point. This means that three out of my nine starters, exactly one third of my team scored a total of one point. Anyways, Andrew Luck decides to fumble at the end of his game (-2 points) and thats the difference between my team becoming a .500 team, or tying the worst team (my brothers team).
This brings us to the most recent week. Anther sub par performance from my team was at hand. MJD was out along with my star wide receiver Jordy Nelson who had been smoking hot in the past three weeks.So two of my best players were out and so my chances were already slim. Yet again the fantasy football gods mocked me by allowing my opponents player Doug Martin to score 35 points! Doug who? Yeah he's a rookie down in Tampa Bay. A respectable rookie, but a rookie non the less. He could have scored a touch down , maybe even rushed for over a hundred yards, but no, he had to get over 200 all purpose yards and two touchdowns. Its just ridiculous.

Fantasy Football: A Glimpse of Hope
ReplyDeleteFinally there is some joy brought with the passing week of fantasy football. I am coming off back-to-back win, which is almost unheard of in my career. My players are performing with consistency and bringing my team to near .500 record. I must start by tipping my hat to Marshawn Lynch, who has rushed for over 100 yards for four consecutive games. Unfortunately he has a bye week this week, and my team will be without its top performer. This concerns me, because my bench is sticken with injuries. As you know fro my last few posts Maurice Jones Drew, Jordy Nelson, and now Darren Sproles are all injured. This leaves me with a desolate team in the upcoming match up. My quarterback Andrew Luck has brought me luck in the last few weeks but I fear that the fantasy football gods will torment me again with misfortune in the near future.
