Playing the Matchup 2012

I can't tell you how much I love this starting lineup I've drafted.

I think Ryan is underrated this year, throwing to the best WR corps in the league with Tony G at TE.

I think both my RBs are quality 1st in McCoy and Forte. Guaranteed touches with both of them.

I think my starting WRs, all three of them, are classic WR1s. Jennings, Green, Bryant...

I love the bottom of my roster too. Texans are the best fantasy defense in the league. Jared Cook is a high upside TE, super athletic Jimmy Graham type. And the Saints kicker is a kicker.

So long as everybody stays healthy, I'm golden. If a few folks blow up on my bench, I should be solid. And I drafted Andrew Luck, who should be my keeper for 2013.

Don't mean to piss in your Cheerios, but I think we have heard that refrain before and it didn't turn out as advertised.

This, however, I have never heard. Excellent fantasy analysis. And one which people in my league don't seem to understand since someone always drafts a kicker in round 7.

Graham was showcasing his incredible abilities last preseason. Cook hasn't really been doing that. Again, I think it's the Titans' desire to see Cook be a better all-purpose TE instead of just a good athletic target in the passing game.

Either way, he's been going way late in drafts. If your league has more than 5 bench slots, it's well worth it to draft a 2nd TE like Cook, even if you have Graham/Gronk.

The TE pool is exceptionally shallow right now in this league.

Would you rather start Cook or Fred Davis?

I'd rather roll the dice and start Cook. Stagnant shit-eaters like Davis just aren't my thing. It's how I roll.

It's like you and I are the same person sometimes.

I should have named my FF team Stagnant Shit Eaters.
