For me, it was the WRs.....


My idiot self thought that Devin Aromashodu was going to be a 75 catch, 1200 yd guy and I picked him in the 5th or 6th round (I was in a 20 team league, the NAS/HOVA league)...I felt good after that first week where he had 7 catches, and each week I kept starting him, and starting him, and starting him, and he kept putting up 0's......

Not only that, but my other WRs were Roddy White (who's turned out to be the FF WR of the year), Devery Henderson, Harry Douglas, and Justin Gage......and that is why I was 3-11.

And that is why next year, I will load up on the WR's even if it means missing out on something else.

It didnt, I lost in the semis because Foster decided to lay an egg last week and the NYG punter decided a line drive punt to Jackson was a good idea. I will forever hate the Giants because of that..

Picking last in an 11 team league:

1st round pick: Shonn Greene
2nd round pick: Randy Moss

It didn't work out so well.

No Hank, I'm referring to people who's team sucked....no playoffs, no nothing.....I was 19th in a 20 team league.




Back to my team for a bit, and to make matters worse, I was a few minutes late to the draft so I missed out on the first 2 picks, who were auto assigned to me....that end up being Michael Turner and Brett Favre.....I was originally pissed at Turner being my first pick, but he had a great year....Favre sucked, but I picked up Sam Bradford who had a decent year.

The bottom line is, maybe next year I'll just have my entire draft on auto pilot.....

11 teams? How does that work?

Yes, and for that, I suck.

We had the 12th bail at the last moment so we played against "League Average" on those weeks. It worked OK.

THIS!

Addai was great before he got hurt

Picked up L.T in the 9th and that helped early but he fell off later on in the season.

Severely lacking second options at both RB and WR, along with a subpar defense, yet I lost by 2 points to get to the championship game this past weekend.

Peyton Manning did not do well.

Injuries to Pierre Thomas, Moreno, Ray Rice...

QB's....started with Schaub and Ryan.....dropped Ryan early on and picked up Orton....then proceeded to start the wrong QB.

Still won points, which helps.

I'm in my league's championship starting tonight:

Kitna
A. Peterson
C. Johnson
M. Wallace
P. Garcon
J. Tamme
A. Viantieri
Bears Defense

I fully expect to get destroyed, but I'm happy I got this far with that questionable lineup.

In a keeper league kept Peyton Manning and Brandon Marshall. First two picks were then Addai and Pierre Thomas. Went 3-10. Other two leagues I lost in CHampionship and came in 4th so all was not lost.

My team sucked because I had a rapist at QB.

Next year I think I may invest in one of those FF books....or watch one of those ESPN shows....

Or I could just do a better job of picking WR's....

Post subject:  Re: Why did your FF Team Suck this year?

I am 12 points down going into tonight. I have AP left vs/ Philly defense. And I essentially played without a QB this week..... :shock:

Slim chance, but still a chance.

Don't do that. So called experts know about as much as you do.

You could have a mediocre draft and still get to the playoffs. It's all about Free Agents and the Waiver wire...

Pierre Garcon, Cadillac Williams and then Michael Clayton blowing his knee out. Devon Aroumashadu was also a late round "I'm the smartest guy in the room" pick that tanked hard and early.

I still placed 3rd after Tolbert, Hillis appeared and I traded for Maclin.

Had the best team and even wore a 2010 league champion shirt (personalized for our league) a full 24 hours before my playoff matchup even started. Ousted in my first playoff game, but I kept the shirt.

That's true because NasHOVA missed the draft and made it to the Final 4 right?

With all of the RB platoon situations and the like fantasy football is more of a crapshoot than ever. Plus there used to be 2 or 3 guys in every league who just had no clue but now when even Scorehead can get on the internet everybody has access to more information.
