PriusChat Fantasy Football 2011 – EFusco is Champion!

Ok, Draft day is in about 4 days. Any other takers to join Darwin to make it a league of 12 players??

 

How can you see the round by round? I'm gonna leave the thread sticky just for general razzing, chat and fun through the season.

I'm pretty happy with my 'get' in the draft. Reggie Bush isn't predicted to get a lot, but I think he may get a lot of carries at Miami an dmay actually have a decent season, but I'll have a quick trigger to ditch him. Unfortunately I don't have a 3rd RB so may be looking to make a trade or find a nice waiver pickup. Frist week matchup against Longhorns is going to be brutal!

My son is thrilled to get Payton Manning again, but is worried about his status with his neck and his backup is out week one with an injury.

 

I don't think there's any major benefit other than making space for a waiver pickup. I think you have to have a space or specify the player you want to drop.

 

After dominating the league all season with an amazing 12-2 regular season record with his only 2 previous defeats coming at the hand of my 12 year old son, Brendan-last season's fantasy champion. Darren and Brendan met up again this weekend in the first round of the PC Fantasy football playoffs...and once again Brendan came through with a victory.

I will be meeting him to play for the championship after I won a nail biter playoff game with BDPackers.

It's going to be a tense week in the Fusco household!

 

I wish you guys could sit and listen to my son break down players and his choices...while, because of his age, there are a few situations he doesn't completely understand, most of the time he really has a much deeper understanding of what's going on that I (or most other adult football fans I know) do. He picked up Murray before anyone event thought he could do anything, he really rebuilt a fantastic team from scratch, as Darren points out. His winning is no fluke and I will have my hands more than full this week-and will definately need a bit of luck to take him down...and I fully intend to do so, there's no quarter taken in the Fusco House!

 

In a squeaker last night I beat my son (and prior 2 year champion) by ~4 points thanks to a batted pass that had Julio Jones caught would have meant a 3-peet for Brendan. It really was a wonderful season and I had more fun this year than any other--and would say that even if I had lost. While there was only one trade that was ultimately insignificant (I got McFadden who never played a down after the trade), there were lots of important waiver moves and some really close teams.

I hope we can do this again next year and I hope Robert will, again, volunteer to be the commissioner unless we have someone else volunteer to do it. The fantasy league is one of the highlights of the fall every year for me and I truly enjoyed it and I really appreciate everyone in the league that made it so challenging and fun.

 

I think I need to get Brendan his own Junior Fantasy Expert radio show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Channel! Good Luck "sucking for Luck"! Even if you don't get him, that RGIII dude is a baller!
