My fantasy football league draft was Thursday and in the league I run and named after Vince McMahon's XFL, we kicked off our fifth season.With the seventh pick in the draft Steven Jackson fell to me and I gobbled him up. I was actually going back and forth on whether or not to take Drew Brees or Andre Johnson, but I never had to. (BTW those two went 9 and 10 of the 12-team league).
So here's how the rest of the Decatur Staleys ( to pay homage to my Bears) fell.
QB Peyton Manning, IND
RB Steven Jackson, STL
RB Pierre Thomas, NO
RB/WR Felix Jones, RB, DAL
WR Chad Ochocinco, CIN
WR Mike Wallace, PIT
TE Tony Gonzalez, ATL
D/ST Steelers
K Rob Bironas, TEN
Bench
Thomas Jones, RB, KC
Matt Ryan, QB, ATL
Devin Aromashodu, WR, CHI
Nate Burleson, WR, DET
John Carlson, TE, SEA
Mewelde Moore, RB, PIT
Chris Chambers, WR, KC
It's a decent team, we'll see how it works out. I'm going to say my second round pick of Peyton Manning will probably pay the biggest dividend and get me the most points. Has anyone been more consistent or the past few year? And on a team that doesn't even try to mess around with a running game? Yeah, he's that good. I'll keep an eye on the Chiefs and what they do with Thomas Jones. He's been so good the past few years with the Jets, it's going to be hard to see him not start in KC. I'd say he's the starter before long there. If Charlie Weis doesn't find him a role, he's crazy.
I have another draft set for Sunday afternoon. Any tips or guys I should keep an eye on? Any great ideas for a team name revolving around Greg Olsen of the Bears or Jay Cutler? Otherwise I'm going with the Yahoo! brother team to this ESPN franchise.
Alright folks, what does every team need on the sideline? Yep, cheerleaders. Nothing would look better cheering my new team on than some cheerleaders. The Denver Broncos shot their bikini calendar before the start of the season. I'd say things turned out quite well. What do you think?
