Back

The last post in this blog was by me in 2008.  Even then I was the only one of us posting (or even viewing) the blog, so I suppose it stands to reason that I would come back to it first.  Those were heady days in 2008: my fantasy squad, despite the steep mountain to climb, did come back and win our league by a microscopic 6-point margin in the tiebreaker.  It was the best moment of my life (was, since now I am married, hi honey!).

Since then we expanded our league to 10.  Embarrassingly, in each of the three seasons since, one of the new coaches has won each time.  But fantasy football remains a highlight every year.

As for this year, I'm going to attempt to make posts about my draft preparation.  We do a 2-QB 10-team league.  I highly recommend 2-QB leagues, to the point where I don't understand why anyone would prefer the standard format, and having dealt with drafting for 2-QB leagues for so long, I feel it is time to put my thoughts down in writing (typing?).  Anyone can adjust their regular fantasy rankings and shit out a 2-QB draft strategy.  But when your only league is 2-QB, and every thought all offseason occurs in the 2-QB framework, then I believe more insight can be reached.  Guess what: the answer is not to move QBs up a round from a regular rankings list.  That advice is embarrassingly lazy.  Better advice would be to remove the names from your cheat sheet, instead make rankings based on your point projections, and draft that way (I'll take WR-10pt in round 3 please).
