Fantasy Football: I am about to scream at my friends
So I joined a league with my friends. I had to go to the airport and pick up my son during the draft, so I got screwed pretty bad by autodraft. Something like picking a kicker in the 6th round a tight-end in the 4th and not even the best tight-end.
So my team came out looking like:
Drew Brees
Ronnie Brown
Ray Rice
Roddy White
L. Coles
TJ HouschWHATEVER
Dustin Keller
Green Bay's Kicker (he has a bye this week so I dropped him)
Dolphins Defense
On the bench I had:
Carson Palmer
Darren McFadden
LeShaun McCoy
Josh Morgan
And some other no name receiver.
Any way, as you can see I was really really light in the receiver. And before the year began my buddy Chuck wanted White. So I told him no, but the he offered my
Frank Gore for
Brown and White
So I did that trade. Then Gore got hurt. Any way to make a long story short. Through drops and trades I now have.
Palmer, Carson
Mendenhall, Rashard RB
Rice, Ray
Houshmandzadeh, T.J.
Massaquoi, Mohamed WR
Morgan, Josh WR SF
Keller, Dustin TE NYJ
Prater, Matt K DEN
Redskins DST
Brees, Drew
Gore, Frank
McCoy, LeSean
Coles, Laveranues WR
Holt, Torry
Still not the best team, but decent. Still hurting at receiver. My buddies know this so they keep offering me crap trades. Here are some of the doozies they have sent me.
Drew Brees and Meddenhall for:
Sydney Rice, Mario Maningham and Julius Jones
I countered just because I was upset with Brees for
Chris Johnson and Steve Smith NY
Then Drew Brees for:
Mike Sims-Walker
Percy Harvin
I countered with Carson PALMER for
Mike Sims-Walker
Steve Smith (Carolina)
Then this morning was a doozy:
Dree Brees and TJ Housh for:
Larry Fitzgerald and John Carlson
I countered with CARSON PALMER for:
Reggie Wayne and New Orleans Defense
I keep countering with off the wall stuff because I figured if they think I will make a trade just to make a trade they are crazy. I know that once Gore gets back and I have Gore and Brees then I have a pretty decent team. If I can just find a WR or two off the waiver wire then I am going to be fine. But they seem to think because I have weakness at receiver they can just force me to trade Brees. Any way, I want to scream because these guys are guys I grew up with and they are calling telling me I should make the deal.
