Real frustrations

Fantasy football is…frustrating. Don't get me wrong, I like my team. I mean, I really like my team. Like, too much. One of my problems in week one was overconfidence in the players I drafted. I was confident that Adrian Peterson would outscore Chris Johnson, so I "reached" for AD with the #1 pick. I'm still fairly confident, but so far I'm wrong. Just wrong. I was confident that Jonathan Stewart's injury slow-down was over, but it clearly wasn't. He earned me one point. I was confident that Malcolm Floyd and Mike Wallace were primed to be go-to wide receivers in their respective offenses, but it seems so far that they're simply options in two offenses of varying potency.

I still have faith in all of these players but not enough that I can confidently and assuredly decide to start them over the likes of LeSean McCoy, Mohamed Massaquoi, and Hakeem Nicks who earned me a combined 38 points on my bench, almost doubling the 20 points that the four players above earned me. Fantasy football is very much a confidence game; you have to be sure of the players you're starting. But at this point, the only thing I'm sure about is my 0-1 record.

Frustrating.

At least I'm leading in my Pick 'Em group, as usual.

I reviewed Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions for the other blog. You can read that here. And then potentially find a link back to this blog in the comments section because the internet is now an enormous, self-referential Möbius loop, especially with Facebook.

For the weeks surrounding this week, three of my four classes are involved in varying degrees of Facebook discussion, so I'm guessing some Facebook stuff will begin to show up in my blogs. Speaking of which, these blogs are automatically posted on my Facebook page, thanks to the wonders of technology. So if you found this there, hi. Welcome to my blog.
