Fantasy Update!!

This is my blog so I'm going to write about my fantasy team and you just have to sit there and listen.

We started off 0-2. It was bad. As you may remember, my team after Week One was

- QB: Philip Rivers
- RB: Matt Forte
- RB: Doug Martin
- RB: Ryan Mathews
- RB: Rashad Jennings
- RB: Donald Brown
- RB: James Starks
- WR: Julio Jones
- WR: Vincent Jackson
- WR: DeSean Jackson
- WR: Jeremy Maclin
- WR: Golden Tate
- WR: Anquan Boldin
- TE: Dennis Pitta
- D/ST: Redskins D/ST
- K: Steven Hauschka

I lost the second week as well, thanks to abysmal performances from Forte (3 pts), Martin (0), VJax (5), Pitta (0), and even Hauschka (3). THANKS GUYS. So for Week 3, I decided to try a daring new strategy: Sit my weak-ass draft picks on the bench until they get their shit together. This week I started Rivers (my 12th round pick), Jennings (7th), Ahmad Bradshaw (waiver wire pickup), Julio Jones (3rd), Jeremy Maclin (8th), Antonio Gates (WW), Matt Asiata (WW), Texans D/ST (WW), and Dan Carpenter (WW). For those keeping score at home, that means that the guys sitting on my bench include my picks from rounds 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. Plus I've had to cut my picks from rounds 11, 13, 14, 15, and 16. I have FOUR draft picks contributing, including ONE from the first six rounds. That's just terrible.

Fortunately, my (late-round) picks finally panned out a bit. Rivers had 19 points, Jennings had 23 (!), Jones had a beast of a day (9 catches, 161 yds, 2 TDs, and 28 fantasy points), and Maclin put up 21. Add in the 13 from Bradshaw and I easily beat my opponent, 114-82. VICTORY.

Here's my current team (although it'll change on Wednesday when waivers go through):

- QB: Philip Rivers
- RB: Rashad Jennings
- RB: Ahmad Bradshaw
- RB: Matt Asiata
- RB: Matt Forte (enjoy the bench, Mr. 10 Points in the Last Two Games Combined)
- RB: Doug Martin (and his brother, Mr. 0 Points in the Last Three Games Combined)
- RB: Ryan Mathews (the third triplet, Mr. 5 Points in the Last Two Games Combined)
- WR: Julio Jones (MVP! MVP! Of my team! Russell Wilson is still my NFL MVP choice)
- WR: Jeremy Maclin
- WR: Vincent Jackson (15 pts in three games. I know how to pick 'em.)
- WR: DeSean Jackson
- WR: Golden Tate
- WR: Anquan Boldin
- TE: Antonio Gates
- D/ST: Texans D/ST
- K: Dan Carpenter
