Fantasy football is stupid. Takes no skill at all.

I have won my league 4 out of 6 years, and finished 2nd twice...I don't think that's a coincidence.If it doesn't take skill..then you would be saying it's luck. it surely isn't based on luck.

 

[kingjamez]

Thats a good team plus you got a pretty good bench as well..

 

[TigerTaylor]

Fantasy football isn't skill. It's activity. As long as you are active, you have a good shot at winning. Of course, you have to know football to play it, and know tendencies, but it's mainly activity over skill with luck added in.I like it though...

Football is actually the easiest team 2 keep up with. the Majority of the games are on 1 day a week...and that is all you really have to edit your lineup or pick people up...Baseball and Basketball you have to do it everyday.Knowing how good players are, and seeking out good matchups for them, and finding filler players who will fill in and have a big week is based on some type of knowledge. My GF who barely watches the sport couldnt win a league...

 

[TigerTaylor]

Actually, I take it back. You do have to have a pretty good amount of knowledge. You have to be able to compare certain stats and matchups. You have to look at tendecies of players. While luck does play in it a little bit, there is a lot of knowledge involved.

I just picked up Desmond Clark off the waiver wire for Owen Daniels. Clark had the better season last year, and he probably has a better chance of being successful this year as well.

 

[Combs]

Honestly I think your team is kind of horrible.Huge question marks next to a ton of those players. Rivers fell off 2nd half of the year. Randy Moss will be a piece in NE..not THE piece. Plaxico is inconsistent. Reggie Brown is inconsistent. Ronnie Brown is nothing special. And Frank Gore did great things last year..will probably have a big year, but it's far from assured.How many teams were in your league?

 

[Pronk48]

Damn...It's really early to have a fantasy draft yet, no?

Last season I made the biggest rookie mistake of all-time. My team was 5-1 and in first place in the league, and my team was pretty much loaded. This was my roster at the time:QB- McNabbRB- TomlinsonRB/WR- McAllisterWR- HoltWR- A. JohnsonTE- L. SmithD/ST- EaglesK- WilkinsWell at the time, L.T. was having a solid year but he had not begun his long streak of 3 or 4 TDs a game. Like a complete idiot, I traded L.T. away for Willis McGahee, Willie Parker and Kellen Winslow. I ended up waiving both McGahee and Winslow, and I had a huge drop-off in total points thanks to the trade. McNabb got hurt, the rest of my players were inconsistent, and I went 1-6 to finish the year.Let that be a lesson to first-year fantasy football players, NEVER TRADE AWAY LT. I won't be making that retarded mistake again. :no3:

 

[Opal]

Haha, my league had like 10 people and half weren't on.

All those players are going to be great next season. As far as Randy moss goes you have to look at who his qbs were in oakland and where hes at now. He will excel very well in that offense and I wouldnt be surprised to see at least 80 rep,1200 yards and 10 tds from randy moss next season.

 

[Combs]

You can't tell me all of those players are going to be great. I wasn't wrong about anything. Randy Moss, Reggie Brown Philip Rivers and Plaxico Burress are consistent fantasy football players we can count on? Since when....Rivers will suffer in TD's because of Tomlinson...no doubt about that. Any fool knows that.I would try and package Rivers with a Plaxico/Moss/Reggie Brown to upgrade your QB position with a Carson Palmer/Tom Brady/ Donovan Mcnabb/Dree Brees/Marc Bulger. May not get one of them but I'd try, If a team isn't as deep add a Julius Jones to sweeten the deal. Then I'd try and package another one of your WR's and Ronnie Brown for a upgrade at the RB position..some names to look for: Brian Westbrook/Rudi Johnson/Stephen Jackson. Again, may not be possible but that's what I'd try and do.

He'll up those numbers since he's only going into his 3rd year. Ronnie Brown was only in his 2nd season last year. I'm sure he'll have a breakout season this year. And Frank Gore did some amazing things last year, but that was just the start.I really disagree with you man..

With my wide outs I have one of the best in the game in Starvin Marvin, I have Brandon Marshall who I think will have a really good season considering last year in his rookie season he did well and this year I expect him to do really good. I also a solid wide out in Chris Chambers, then I got rookie Anthony Gonzo who, from what I have heard, is going to be playing the slot in the Colts offense which should give him some good numbers. With Brandon Jones, I was paying attention and it auto drafted him, he isn't that bad.I just got offered a trade - Tom Brady for Michael Vick. I rejected it and commented 'HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NAW!'

How wont he be great?Reggie Brown- 3 year vet now and the number one option in a pass first offensePhilip Rivers- Had a great season last year and will be more experienced while TDs for the chargers are in no shortage.Plaxico Burress- Now that Tiki has retired, Eli will be forced to throw much more often likely and this guy is his favorite WRI dont claim to know fantasy football but I know REAL football very well and I expect all those players to have pretty good seasons.

[one.]

There is a big difference between real football and fantasy football. Phillip Rivers is a great QB and wins games, but I wouldn't want him as my starter on a fantasy team. Om Moss, he'll have a nice year, but every Pats WR does under Brady. He spreads the ball around like no one else and Lawrence Marony takes away a lot of his TDs too. Franks Gore is an injury waiting to happen. Basically everything Combs said is right. Your team is solid, but if its only 10 team its not good enough to win a championship.

Randy used to be the 2nd best WR in the game, and now he has the 2nd best regular season QB throwing him passes. I might now win, but I think I'll be atleast top 3 in my league if everything works out as I expect it to.And starting QB's really don't matter that much unless you got Peyton Manning on your team, or a really crappy starting QB. Philip Rivers is more than solid, and he might even improve considering last year was his first starting year in the NFL? Did you think that possibility through?
