You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. — Harvey Dent
I know no one cares about my fantasy team, but forewarned is forearmed. This year’s fantasy football office league edition has been named Wayne Enterprises in honor of the conclusion of The Dark Knight trilogy.
Besides, it makes for a catchy logo.
After the break, my draft and some thoughts on the team’s potential.
8 team league. Snake draft with random position assignments. Overall draft position in parens. I lucked into the number 1 pick for the 2nd time in three (four?) years. And of course, this is a year I do no preparation. The last time I drew first overall though ended in tears, with CJ2K not doing very well, and dragging my team down with him.
- (1) Arian Foster RB
- (16) Cam Newton QB
- (17) Darren McFadden RB
- (32) Marques Colston WR
- (33) Hakeem Nicks WR
- (48) Miles Austin WR
- (49) Jason Witten TE
- (64) Steven Jackson RB
- (65) Tony Romo QB
- (80) Baltimore DEF
- (81) Dwayne Bowe WR
- (96) Robbie Gould K
I might have gone a little early with Cam Newton, but given I could get two top RBs in my first three picks, I thought he was worth the reach. My receivers are a boom or bust set. I expect two of the four to go down with injuries by week three. I had to dump Jason Witten already for Tony Gonzalez.
Relative to other teams in the league, I feel like I’m in pretty good shape. There’s one other, maybe two, teams that had similar quality drafts. Of course things will evolve rapidly as real games are played, but I’m looking forward to my chances this year.
