The 2009-2010 Barely Legal fantasy football champions
Had my final fantasy draft of the season last night. Here’s how it shook out.
FYI: This is a points-per-reception league, so I tried to stock up on reception-heavy running backs and wide receivers.
QB- Matt Schaub
Someone has to throw the ball to Andre Johnson, right? Also, with Steve Slaton coming into his second year I think defenses will have to focus more on him coming out of the backfield, opening up Schaub’s passing lanes.
RB1- Matt Forte
Beast. My #1 pick because of his receptions. Plus the fact that he’ll benefit from Cutler being in town.
RB2- Marion Barber
There isn’t one running back in the league that I would fear coming at me more than Barber. And that includes Brandon Jacobs.
WR1-Roddy White
Reception machine. Hopefully will benefit from some maturity in Matt Ryan.
Side note: Does any team have a better QB-RB-WR-TE combo than Atlanta? Ryan, Michael Turner, White, and Tony Gonzalez. That’s like when the four kids who hit puberty early were on the same recess kickball team in fifth grade.
WR2- T.J. Houshmandzadeh 
A healthy Matt Hasselback will be the key.
TE- John Carlson 
All the top-tier TEs were gone, so I waited a while and got Carlson. Pretty happy with the value I got this late in the draft.
RB/WR Flex- Antonio Bryant or Ray Rice
Depending on the defense I’ll start one of those two. Very happy I picked up Rice in the seventh round. Catches a lot of balls out of the backfield, and word is that the RB1 job is his to lose.
D/ST- Miami Dolphins
Who cares.
K-Kris Brown
Not even picture worthy.
Bench- Darren Sproles, Derrick Mason, Josh Morgan, Rashard Mendenhall, Chad Pennington, Shonn Greene
Had to pick up a Jet, so I went with Greene in the 15th round. I’d be giddy if it was a keeper league, but for now I’m just sufficiently beaming.

I had John Carlson last year. he was my backup for Todd Heap, who was terrible, so I think I used him a lot by the end of the season and he was OK. I also had Darren Sproles on my bench to start the season but I dumped him pretty quick. Seye was my co-manager.
ReplyDeletedecent team, ur comment about MBIII being scarier than jacobs running at you is ridiculous tho haha
ReplyDeleteBarber just comes at you with speed AND power though. I mean, I wouldn't want either trucking at me, but I might be able to get out of the way of Jacobs.
ReplyDeleteAndre Johnson, WR

PPR, WR/TE flex, keepers move up three rounds the next year and you can have 2. I feel pretty great about my team this season.
Ray Rice is a great pickup, I copped him late in one of my drafts. Do people forget Baltimore love to run.......and he's starting? McGahee is finished.
ReplyDeleteNice draft overall. I don't like Housh in Seattle but Antonio Bryant will ball once health.
And I kinda <3 Roddy White. I had him last year and......he's really neat.
Yeah I don't have much to say since I don't understand this stuff, except when I read your first sentence I thought you were talking about video games.
