So this year I have two fantasy football teams. Not because I necessarily wanted two, but because when I set the time for my first draft for this past Thursday I didn't have any plans. But then a friend asked me to go do dance lessons & I knew my complete freedom would be ending on Monday I wasn't about to say no. As luck would have it, my draft was at the exact time I needed to leave to meet her. So all of my players got auto drafted for me. So I also set up a draft for Sunday morning because I knew I wasn't going to be making any plans. With preseason just 2 weeks away & regular season just 43 days away, here are my two line-ups. Both teams are on NFL.com & both are just a part of the free fantasy leagues. When I'm not being auto-drafted I like to follow Sarah's tips and strategy for nailing your fantasy draft.
The Magic Skoll Bus (that time I got auto-drafted)
QB - Russel Wilson (SEA)
RB - Mark Ingram (NO), Ezekiel Elliott (DAL), LeGarrette Blount (PHI), Paul Perkins (NYG), James White (NE)
WR - T.Y. Hilton (IND), Brandin Cooks (NE), Allen Robinson (JAX), Jeremy Maclin (BAL), Cameron Meredith (CHI)
TE - Travis Kelce (KC), Hunter Henry (LAC)
K - Ban Bailey (DAL)
DEF - New England Patriots
Yes, you ARE seeing correctly. I was drafted ONE QB, Kicker, & Defense... and FIVE RB & WR. Now for the most part I left it alone. I figured "what the hell?! Let's see what happens!" I did however drop a couple players just so I could have a backup for my QB, Kicker, & Defense. I wound up dropping 2 Running Backs (Perkins & White) and 1 WR (Maclin).
I picked up Sam Bradford (QB/MIN), Kai Forbath (K/MIN), & Los Angeles Rams (DEF). I almost picked up Bortles instead of Bradford because he is projected to better than Bradford but I wanted to see what Bradford might do this year. I also almost picked up Blair Walsh, who is now with Seattle, over Forbath because I felt like Walsh was done a little dirty last season with the Vikings and he's not too far behind Forbath on projected points, but again I wanted to see what Forbath might do this season. Defense I'm not going to lie I just picked the top remaining projected team & went with it.
Purple Reign
QB - Aaron Rodgers (GB), Alex Smith (KC)
RB - Melvin Gordon (LAC), Leonard Fournette (JAX), Mark Ingram (NO)
WR - Amari Cooper (OAK), Tyreek Hill (KC), Eric Decker (TEN), Davante Adams (GB)
TE - Zach Ertz (PHI), Cameron Brate (TB)
K - Blair Walsh (SEA), Chris Boswell (PIT)
DEF - LA Rams, Carolina Panthers
QB - Aaron Rodgers (GB), Alex Smith (KC)

Looks like a winning team to me!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope so! I got 3rd last year doing a free league on here. If I can get 3rd or better again this year I might start doing a cheap league for money.
DeleteOh man you have a great lineup!! xo,Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteIts so funny that I have no idea who any of these people are.
ReplyDeleteI lie. I know Russel Wilson - hes the dude married to Ciara right? See - I know something
DeleteLooking like that is a great team you have put together. haha I don't know anything about football. There was a Patriot's player in the store one day talking to me and when he left people were like do you know who that was talking to you?? I had no idea. Even know I don't even remember his name.
ReplyDeleteAwesome team!! I so miss doing fantasy football!!
ReplyDeleteLove the title haha. There's a new throwback rap/r&b station around here that keeps playing that song. I'm totally clueless with fantasy football, but I did play fantasy hockey for like three or four years.
ReplyDeleteSoooo I need to know what kind of dance lessons you went to! That sounds like fun!!
