Overdue Fantasy Update
Man, it's been a while since I mentioned this.... FC Brunedogs captured the regular season crown and has now advanced to the championship. Yes, yes, amazing that a team with arguably only one top-shelf running back could do this. I have to admit I'm pretty surprised myself. The last time I mentioned this tpic I was a very shocking 5-0, aided by lucking into a few early season victories. I wound up going a strong 5-3 down the stretch to finish with the league's best record, though not the highest scoring teams. Playoff roster as follows...
QB: Bulger, Hasselbeck
RB: Henry, K Barlow, M Bennett, J White
WR: Harrison, C Johnson, H Ward, S Moss, Muhammed
TE: Gonzalez
K: Longwell
D: CAR, SEA
Obviously the strength of the team is at WR and TE. Frankly, I can't believe my luck at WR. While it was a definitely strategy to get 4 top WRs, picking Moss with the last pick was kind of icing on the cake. While no WR is a sure thing every week, I'll take Harrison and the ability to play the best match-up with the other guys. Tony Gonzalez, as I think I said in the preseason, is easily the best TE for fantasy purposes. Travis Henry has been a warrior and pretty darn consistent on an otherwise crappy Bills team. Bulger and Hasselbeck haven't been consistent but, well, it's nice to have two legitimate options there are well.
We play a 4-team playoff with each round consisting of two weeks. After week one FC Brunedogs was getting smacked 96-69. But this weekend the fantasy gods smiled and granted fine performances from anchors Harrison, Gonzalez and C Johnson and granted me wisdom to select the best performing player from the various options available to me, especially late-season FA addition Kevan Barlow. And the Browns held my opponents duo of Sharpe/Rod Smith out of the endzone to ensure a win. By a 134-87 score we go to the championship with a 203-183 aggregate score. For a while there I didn't want to blog about this in fear of jinxing the season. Now that a strong finish and profitable financial payout is assured, that fear has subsided. Whoo-hoo!
Oh yeah, now with the Bills out of it Henry may not see regular touches. Michael Bennett and the Vikings remains a mystery to me. Ward and S Moss don't feel like sure things anymore. It could be tough to pull a championship out with this group. Stranger things have happened though. Today I'm just enjoy my little victory.
