Fantasy Football Update - Picking Up The Pieces

Sep 24, 2008 NFL

It’s been a rough start to the season for me in two of the more serious leagues I’m in.  The Buffalo Sports Bloggers league has me dead last at 1-2.  My draft picks of guys like Ryan Grant and Matt Hasselbeck have not yet panned out, but hope remains for them.  Grant is only now getting healthy, and I think Seattle might be down to their 35th receiver.  Oh, and don’t forget Ocho Cinco and the Bungles.

I’m 7 out of 8 in my work league, with the same 1-2 record.  Marvin Harrison, Ryan Grant (again) and Steven Jackson have all underachieved.  I actually dumped Hasselbeck here (only 4 bench spots and I needed to fill that spot on the bye) and grabbed Kurt Warner.

Can I rebound?  Bet your ass I can…I feel I’ve got the bench depth to stay strong through all the bye weeks with guys like Steve Slaton and Jonathon Stewart who can fill in for me.  I will be right there at the end for my inevitable first round playoff loss.

Buffalo Sports Bloggers Fantasy Football

Aug 29, 2008 Fantasy Sports

Just finished the draft in the Buffalo Sports Bloggers league, and here’s what I got:

QB - Matt Hasselbeck
WR - Chad Johnson
WR - Hines Ward
RB - Clinton Portis
RB - Ryan Grant
TE - Antonio Gates
WR/TE - Nate Burleson
K - Rob Bironas
DEF - New England

Bench:

WR - Bernard Berrian
WR - Bobby Engram
RB - Chris Perry
QB - Matt Ryan
WR - Antwaan Randle El
RB - Steve Slaton
RB - Reuben Droughns
WR - Limas Sweed

Kinda flaked on the second to last pick there - but I need somebody to cut for that week 1 waiver wire pickup anyway.  I actually missed the first two selections (both of the starting RBs) but I don’t mind who I’ve got.  Good team for picking as late in the rounds as I did.
