I still have about 2-3 more teams to purchase to reach the $1000 mark, which is really going to make managing this a handful. But so far, with seven teams, things are looking up for football after week one.
Week 1 Record: 6-1-1
Overall Record: 6-1-1
Quick Rundown:
The Brooklyn Lions 117.10 (1-0)
Team Pretty 90.96
I really like the team I was playing against and thought there was a chance I’d go down. But big games from Ray Rice (who looked like the #1 RB this week) and Philip Rivers (who I originally hated drafting) carried me to victory. Four teams in the league outscored me, so I’m not the to dog. Starting Cleveland’s defense was a mistake, and Vincent Jackson didn’t do anything, so there’s room to improve.
Megatron and Bumblebee 139.18 (1-0)
The Village Idiots 79.08
That’s almost double. Facing Mike Vick had me scared, but Tom Brady proved once again that he is worthy of a top ten pick. My running back crop looks weak at this point, DeAngelo Williams did nothing. My kicker didn’t even play and still only one team outscored me, so I’m looking good.
Bet On Backs 96 (0-0-1)
Red Mosquitos 96
A tie! A tie! There’s never ties in fantasy football. No player on my team really came through this week, leaving hope for improvement. Matt Ryan and Chris Johnson both stank it up. And my Peyton Manning gamble looks dumb now that he’s just had another surgery. 6 teams outscored me, but I don’t expect to be this bad every week.
Suh Kon This 79 (0-1)
Coach 109
This is the team I probably ruined in the draft. Knowing that you HAVE to start two running backs, I took three receivers after taking Jamal Charles. My second starting running back is little Danny Woodhead. Not. Good. This team looks like they’re in trouble.
My three lifetime keeper league teams all won this week.
Alligators Eating Swans 256.8 (1-0)
We Want Thor! 205.1
Tony Romo and Brian Urlacher were the stars. Jamal Charles was good, Arian Foster was hurt, Shonne Green sucked, Mike Tolbert was on my bench. I like this team.
Bring On The Best 199.6 (1-0)
Craptastic 160.7
His team was indeed craptastic. Big game from Mike Tolbert and nothing from Vincent Jackson or Dwayne Bowe were the stories here. This team is paper thin.
Yeezy Taught Me 258.3 (1-0)
Shreveport Steamer 159.4
That’s an ass-whooping. Our WR first strategy worked out, as Calvin Johnson and Kenny Britt had big games. And Chad Henne! Lots of room to get better on defense, but heading in the right direction.
Expectations:
So far, so good this season. By default Football is way ahead of finance in expectations (but also way ahead in risk), because I haven’t put any of the $1000 into the market yet. I barely know anything more than I did when I started this. It’s not looking good for finance. It’s just too boring. Or hard. If I’m really going to wait until I understand how to evaluate a company, it could be a loooong wait.
With a few more teams to draft this week and next, knowing injuries and seeing how much players move up and down draft boards will be interesting. Will Chad Henne be a top ten pick!? Will Ray Rice go #1? We’ll see.
