I had my fantasy football draft last night and I’m fairly happy with the team I’ve put together. I didn’t get the quarterback I wanted, but I think I’m fairly well off at other positions. My marquee player this year is Frank Gore, so hopefully his broken hand will be all healed up by the time the season opener rolls around. If it isn’t — well, I’ve got a couple of decent backups that can fill in for a week or two at the beginning.
I made a couple of mistake picks that could come back to haunt me. For example, I have WR Chris Chambers from Miami on my team. I didn’t know about his current legal problems (DUI charges or something) and the trade rumors swirling around him. Nevertheless, he’s still the No.1 receiver for the Dolphins, so hopefully Jeff Garcia will be able to get him the ball a couple of times, especially in the end zone. If not, I could end up wishing I had Botox for migraines as I spend all of Sunday evening banging my head against my keyboard!
Again, our league is just for fun, so I’m not too concerned about what happens. Hey, if worrying about how my fantasy football players perform is the biggest problem I have in my life, then I’d say I’m pretty well off, ya know?
