Fantasy Blather

The team is a very surprising 5-0. Surprising because, well, I've been a crappy general manager at times. Crappy for thinking Tom Brady could be my starting QB. Crappy for thinking the Raiders defense would be competitive. And monumentally crappy for sitting my #1 draft pick, Marvin Harrison, against the Bucs. Yet somehow good fortune has smiled on FC Brunedogs, and a few backups + waiver picks have been contributors. As of now the roster stands at:

QB: Bulger, Hasselbeck, Brady
RB: Henry, Hambrick, L. Gordon, M. Bennett
WR: Harrison, Ward, K Robinson, C Johnson, S. Moss
TE: T Gonzalez
K: M. Anderson, J Kasay
D: Min, Buf

My team will not challenge as the highest-scoring team, but I do expect to get consistent scoring from week to week, even with bye-weeks. Obviously a few draft decisions have helped me -- drafting Bulger late, hitting on my 3rd + 4th receivers. I'm hoping Henry hangs in there with injury issues, but with Hambrick and Gordon having some value things are somewhat more comfortable there. I'm continuing to hold on to the injured Bennett in favor of picking up another runner, hoping for a strong performance right around playoff time. In other words, so far so good. If a trade comes down, it will likely be Robinson/Johnson/Brady/Henry/Hambrick for another running back. But for now I'm inclined to ride the guys I have and, if I can get 3-4 more wins, gear up for a string postseason performance.
