Week 1

Hello, this is Phillip again, posting about his Fantasy sports obsession. I have been doing fantasy sports for the past 15 years. My father taught me how to do it after watching him do it on the computer. Needed less to say it took me a few years to fully understand how to properly play fantasy sports in general, with each sport requiring different levels of attention and skills needed to win in the different leagues. Here is my ESPN Fantasy football league team for this season. Things are going to be really cool in this league because it is in a family league, so everyone knows everyone else and there is alot of bragging rights on the line. Below is the graphic of my starting lineup and my bench for week 1. The only change that may happen is that Floyd or Colston will switch sports with Jackson, only because I think they will have better chances with their opponents defense than Jackson will. I always love discussion on my team and why i should/shouldnt put certain players in certain positions in my lineup. While I didnt do a draft based blog like i attempted to do with my baseball league, I will do a week-by-week lineup for the football season, along with my reactions to how the games play out both in the real world and within the fantasy matchup.
