We are at the halfway point of the fantasy football season*, and it occurs to me that I have spoken very little about my team this year. That is because there is nothing really worth saying about them, but I'll push on anyhow.
I'm in 6th place right now, out of 10 teams, with a record of 4-5-0. Which is actually sort of astounding when you consider that I have the lowest cumulative points scored this season. By a lot. I've apparently had very favorable match-ups so far. And a lot of dumb luck.
The biggest disappointment thus far has been Steve Smith, best wide receiver in the world to hear some say it at the beginning of the season. I still think he's good. He's just been plagued by the curse of crappy QBs this season. As we all have. That's the one area I was feeling good about until last week. I had three QBs at the beginning of the season, and they were all doing respectably and sticking with their teams. Then Chad Pennington had to go and get himself injured to a point where he wasn't worth holding onto anymore.
I've already started looking ahead to next season. I have two goals for next season right now:
1) Not face Ridin' Dirty in week 1. The same team I've faced in week 1 all three years in the league. He's sitting solidly in last place right now, so I'm hopeful about that.
2) Have 3 keepers that are actually kept for the full season. Damn Javon Walker and his knee surgery!
* We are more than halfway through the season, but in our league you play 7 teams twice, 2 teams once, and the final week of the season is a power-match. Therefore, I consider the halfway point of the season where we start the reruns of who we've played before.
