The beauty of an electronic football game is knowing what every player can offer you prior to ever drafting them. Even if the game prevents such things there are cheats and walkthroughs created by the players who came before you, or workarounds that enable you to vet the players to the fullest possible extent before the time to draft arrives. This is not the way of real football. The real world is messy, unpredictable, cruel, and utterly fast paced. This world is the realm of the Fantasy Football game where overnight injuries (and waywrd keystrokes) can effect a draft and thus a season.
I waited days to write about my draft, largely because I picked up Andre Johnson in the early rounds. I did not do this on purpose. He, as my league leader likes to say, ‘Crapped the Bed’ last season and I have no doubt that will go down again. I was bitter about it for a while, and I am still not over that situation, but I am well enough to discuss it. Mistakes happen, and all we can go off of in fantasy football (and in real FB) is our assumptions based on last season’s situation and how good a player looked in the preseason.
