2011 fantasy football playoffs

I can't claim that my order is perfect, and like fantasy football itself, it can change rapidly. If memory serves, in the 2009 season my brother screwed up his auto-pick settings and chose two tight ends with his first 2 picks. ...

2011 Fantasy Football Playoffs

The 2011-2012 draft of the National Football League of Taiwan, much like the inspiration of my team name, is positioned to receive deep, penetrating analysis.

Taking Michael Turner with the second overall pick is bad enough, but picking Green Bay's defense with a second round pick? Unforgivable! That's almost as bad as choosing Seattle D with the fourth overall.

Turd and Long is not afraid to roll the dice. With Chris Johnson holding out, and Kenny Britt's potential suspension, this team could fall to pieces. If both of these guys avoid trouble, however, then the gamble pays off and this is a team to reckon with.

* - By tear it up I am specifically referring to tearing all the tendons attached to his right patella and taking 10 months to recover.

Let's look at the positives. Drew Brees is of the best QBs in the game, Vincent Jackson and Wes Welker are great WRs, and I personally feel that Winslow is looking at a break out year. The situation is perfect for him.

In fact, now that I am looking at this team again I think it has a good chance of making the playoffs. And when that happens I hope I am there to play against this squad; because let's face it, meeting Mitt Monster in the playoffs is as good as a bye!

Statistically, Wizzards has the highest winning percentage in the league. In our first season, which only included 6 teams, Wizzards defeated me in the finals and took the championship. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat after a nightmarish dream about that day. No big deal though, I usually just bang out a number 3 and go right back to bed.

The problem is that Austin Collie is not really a threat because he gets a concussion every time he sneezes and Vernon Davis can't get a ball thrown his way to save his life.

I underestimate his team every year. I am tempted to say that Ryan Grant can't get it done anymore and Peyton Manning is due for a statistical decline, but every year it seems I am wrong.

I like the Stevie Johnson pickup (make me an offer!) and both Maclin and Gore are excellent. I will go out on a limb and say that this is the deepest team in the league as well.

Arian Foster had just under 400 fantasy points last year. The closest person to him was 80 points away. If he can repeat last years numbers, and Stew can remember to sub in his players each week, then this is a team to reckon with.

There is a lot to like in this starting lineup, fortunately for those playing again the All-Stars, there is a lot not to like as well.

Let's be honest, Ochocinco hasn't gotten separation from a CB in about 4 years. MJD is in a rapid and steady decline. Tony Gonzalez is old enough to remember Mary in her supplest of years.

If fantasy points were awarded according the the length of one's arms, then Yellow team might as well walk away with the 16-bit trophy now. BECAUSE THAT WAS SOME SERIOUS REACHING!

With McFadden as a solid starter, combined with a solid WR core, this is a team to contend with. He even managed to draft well and still land the man of the same name, better body.

The only problem I see is LeSean McCoy. You should really trade that guy, he is a real injury concern and will lose tons of touches to Ronnie Brown. Since I am a nice guy I will trade you for him to help you out, feel free to make me an offer.

The RB core could use a little work but it isn't terrible. If they can just be average then this is going to be a tough team to beat.

This is another monster team. Both starting RBs are undeniably RB1s. Wayne, Bryant, and Amendola are all solid, yet offer upside as well.

Well, this fun little journey had to end somewhere. I guess it just makes sense that the last stop is with the living legend, the man with the most championships.

Stories still bounce around about the unforgettable season of 2009 (the same year I dunked on Chris and bruised his side). Against all odds, I won both fantasy leagues after being kicked off of Yahoo for several weeks for having gay porn as my icon. Nice one Reeder, I even opened that in class. The Thai's sitting behind me have never even seen porn that graphic, and they have ping pong ball shows.
