Normally, I don’t consider fantasy football as my strongest point as far as fantasy sports is concerned, but after a year of prodding from fellow fantasy players, I felt I needed to return to playing some fantasy football.
And after how my team did on both Thursday and yesterday, I felt that my return to Fantasy Football was long overdue as I hold a 4-point lead over the blue blasters entering the first Monday Night games of the season.
One mistake that I made in quarterbacks was that I started Marc Bulger, who had 217 passing yards (but no touchdowns) instead of Michael Vick, who had 140 yards in the air and 2 touchdown passes as well as 48 yards rushing in the Falcons’ 20-3 win over Carolina. I have him starting this week as the Falcons host Tampa Bay in Atlanta and Bulger will be starting next week as a way to equal playing time between the two.
As for my Fantasy Baseball team, I lost my first round matchup with Doc’s All-Stars 6 to 3 and will be playing for fifth place against the fourth-place team. The thing that killed us during the first round matchup was the poor hitting by Joe Crede (.182) and Ian Kinsler (.158).
The star of the week for my team? Shawn Green, who hit .429 with 2 homers this past week for the Mets.
With my computer fixed, I can try to make amends for what would have a great run for my team, who batted .284 with 182 homers this season, among the top six in both of those categories.
And try not to make the same mistakes that I made (which was not my fault) with the Fantasy Football team that I own.
