Fantasy Football part 2...

It has been awhile since my last post on fantasy football. We are in week 5 already which is hard to believe. I am 3-1 and in first place in my division. I have a big game this week since there are three teams at 2-2 right behind me in the standing. My best players still have their bye weeks coming up so I need today's intra-divisonal game.

I have been tinkering with my team the last couple of weeks. I took a chance this past week and picked up Selvin Young of the Broncos. The starter Travis Henry reportedly flunked a drug test and if true he will be suspended for a year since it would be his second offense. He is trying to fight the lab test in court right now. I am banking on him losing and the Broncos making Young the starter. This is the fun part of playing fantasy sports. You get to pretend you are an owner/gm and make all the moves you want to improve your team. Some work out and most don't. The thing is if you don't make moves you rarely have a chance to win it all. There is too much luck involved with injuries and off seasons by your players to be able to stand pat all year.

In my other league I am 2-2. This is not so bad since all 4 teams in my division have the same record! This is the free league I joined so I am not as concerned with how I do. Bragging rights are ok, but there needs to be some financial incentive to make it worth the time and effort. At least for me...
