A successful first foray into Fantasy Football

Now that my first season of fantasy football has come to an end, I find it only appropriate to take to my blog and profess...


I WON!!!!!!!

In a league of people I don't know and have never talked to, but, dammit, I still won!  Before I decided to start an "office league" (many of the members of the league do not work with me), I joined a random NFL.com league.  I created my player wish list, but forgot to participate in the actual draft.  I still ended up with a pretty successful roster.

WEEK 1:

QB- Mark Sanchez
RB- Chris Johnson
RB- Jerome Harrison
WR- Nate Washington
WR-Santana Moss
WR- Mike Wallace
TE- Jermichael Finley
K- David Akers
Def- 49ers

Bench:
QB- Matt Stafford
RB- Fred Jackson
RB- Brandon Jacobs
RB- Laurence Maroney
WR- Devin Aromashodu
WR- Santonio Holmes

Over the season, I had my ups and downs.  Chris Johnson didn't do as well as predicted, Mark Sanchez doesn't have a middle ground between playing really well and sucking, Santonio Holmes was out for the first 5 weeks.  But, by week 15, I was 8-6, which was good enough to get me into the playoffs.

FINAL ROSTER:

QB- Josh Freeman
RB- Chris Johnson
RB- Peyton Hillis
WR- Santonio Holmes
WR- Mike Wallace
WR- Santana Moss
TE- Mercedes Lewis
K- David Akers
Def- Packers

Bench:
QB- Mark Sanchez
WR- Austin Collie
RB- Mike Tolbert
WR- Nate Washington
TE- Zack Miller
Def- Titans

Josh Freeman and Peyton Hillis were definitely the best players I could have acquired for my team.  A lot of my wins are credited to them.

But, now what?  Now that fantasy football is over for the season, I feel empty inside.  FF literally consumed my life for the past few months.  Guess I'm going to have to start plotting for next season....
