It feels really odd to be sitting at week five of fantasy and think, “Dang. My season is over.” I mean even the Giants feel like they can make a run late. Yet here I am about to slide to 1-4 with my only win against the other team about to be 1-4 and not feeling like I can beat any of the remaining two win teams in order to have a shot. Sure, some of it is mental, but a lot of it is poor play. I fixated on what I didn’t have and failed to capitalize on what I do have week in and week out. I have a 30 point QB and rbs who can pop off for that at any time. Yet I’m worried because I cannot get or even find a valid TE option. Heck in my other league I have three (two of which I’ve been starting)… And that is a far deeper league (by four teams, mind you).
What I am trying to confess is that failure is a state of mind, and at some point in time my mind decided I failed in this league. It is a long road back towards feeling otherwise. It is going to take not only wins, but confident picks. It is going to take some study and some sturdy dedication to following through on turning it around. In short, it is going to take work.
I’m not sure I have it in me right now.
