With the Franchise Tag designation looming this march 16th, and the draft not far off from that, it is time to visit the Waiver Wire. Here is a quick recap. In the first ever Beach Blanket Fantasy League I was able to take second as my team, led by Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, bottomed out in the finals as the man took a week off to let RGIII knock the rust off pre-playoffs. He should’ve left the rust on, because they got a bye week and found themselves dumped by the Titans soon after. Everybody lost on that one. The oldest boy in this tri-racial Brady Bunch took the W and the resulting $75 victory lap.
In the real world, my Giants continued to suck desperately. Eli Manning rode off into the sunset after winning his last start in typical Eli fashion. The Giants are left with a recovering Saquon, Danny Drops (most fumbles in the league), and a lot of holes on both sides of the rock.
Enter Free Agency. The chance to reboot your team with a wealth of talent or roll the dice and discover what worked well over there is not so nice on your roster… The Giants have traditionally shied away from Free Agent splash, but we will see what happens. I’ll fill you in once the Franchise tags drop.
Some Thoughts:
- I did finally get word about the Youth Football 10u league and it goes a little something like this: Argos (us), AZ Suns, Raiders AZ, SW Stampede, WV Kingz, AZ Fire Dawgs, Valley Rattlers, Reapers Elite, Anthem Jaguars, Arcadia Titans, and the Tempe Buffs.
- The Buffs won the D1 championship after we opted for D2, but rolled the other team in the championship game 24-0 (and yes, we held back). The Buffs, meanwhile, beat them 19-18. Now we get to play the Buffs week 1 right out the gate and settle that question that is on both teams’ minds. Problem is, we lost two key starters. we replaced them with some talent, but we will see how far that talent takes us.
