Playing in two fantasy leagues this year. One with the guys in town (big bucks). One with Our Dad, The Playmaker and The Playmaker's Sister (i.e. the computer). Off to a good start this past Sunday, going a crisp 2-0.
Big Bucks
We won, 133-120. Aaron Rodgers (first pick in the draft) had a pedestrian 24 points, followed by Jeremy Maclin (22), Frank Gore (21), Aaron Hernandez (17) and the Ultimate Weapon -- David Akers (16). The Bears defense got us 13, A.J. Green 12 and Torrey Smith 8. Somehow the W was secured by the fact that one of our starting backs (that would be Felix Jones) had ZERO points. In a 16 team league, the talent runs dry in a second. To wit, our bench sucks. It consists of Matt Cassel, Shane Vereen and two local favorites Ryan Broyles (OU) and Bryce Brown (Eagles).
Family Fun
Conversely, with just four teams, the talent runs deep and wide with this team-slash-league. Here is our BENCH from week one: Trent Richardson, Reggie Bush, the aforementioned Bryce Brown, Phillip Rivers, Jeremy Maclin, A.J. Green and Jordy Nelson. We won here, 114-96. Our starters were: Drew Brees, Shady McCoy, Darren Sproles, The Johnson Boys (Calvin & Andre), Aaron Hernandez, Victor Cruz (UMass) and Stephen Gostowski.
On a side note, we are (once again) in the Brent Suicide Pool. We went with the Texans and survived week one. Not so lucky were the five people who took either the Saints or the Bengals.
