CGR Fantasy Football 2011-2012

I've drafted like that before. This season I felt a little dirty about drafting Janikowski as my kicker, and one of my teams has three members of the Chiefs in the starting lineup.

I can relate. I'm a lot the same way. So today the Eagles play the Rams. The Rams have been my team for over 30 years and Michael Vick is my fantasy quarter back. I have to admit I hate that about fantasy sports. I want to win the fantasy league but it would be awesome to see Vick throw a pic six or two today. It would be nice to see my team sack the opposing QB about a half dozen times.

Anyone else relate to this? Anyone relate to Greenie? Are there some players you just won't draft, or some teams you won't draft from? Honestly, I did the auto draft, but if I had it to do all over again I would have changed the player rankings and made Sam Bradford my highest ranked QB.

Actually, I tihnk about it in reverse. I'm ok with drafting and playing a player who's playing the colts, while cheering for the colts. The more the colts score (not today, obviously) the harder the other team has to try. The best weeks for fantasy points are typically when you're playing from behind.

I dont like cheering for a player, for example Larry Fitzgerald, to do well against the Niners, but it doesnt bug me enough to not take the best players in the NFC West.

My competitive desire to win Fantasy Football Leagues trumps my allegiance to teams/players. Besides, Fantasy isn't for the Postseason, when it it really matters.

Now if only I had started him over Matt Ryan

Wow...Brady and Welker combined for 77 points in the Main league. I knew they'd put up solid points, but I didn't think it would be enough to steal the win.

...gonna be a long year....

Darren McFadden and Sebastian Janikowski just won a non-CGR game for me. I was WAY down going into tonight.

S.B.Nichols · 09-13-2011, 07:02 AM

I was the only one not to crack 100 in the main league.

Nice. Let's shoot for that to happen again.

Must have been a crazy first week - I won my matchup in all three of my leagues

**meatfinger** · 09-15-2011, 10:08 PM

Arian Foster not playing really screwed me in my league. I would have won my matchup if he had played at all.

SccHarpGirl · 09-18-2011, 07:18 PM

So Jamaal Charles was my #1 pick and top running back.

...yeah, that sucks.

The crazy thing is I still scored 104 points this week (and tied), thanks in large part to Tom Brady being an epic beast.

S.B.Nichols · 09-18-2011, 07:33 PM

I've got Charles in 2 out of 4 leagues....

***Art*** · 09-18-2011, 07:36 PM

Wow. I had players just going off today. It would take a miracle for me to lose either of my CGR games this week. In elite I had more than my projected points after the morning games were finished.
