Fantasy Football Tips

[MTK]

I keep my heart out of FF. I'll take 'Skins as long as they are worthy, and I won't shy away from taking Cowboys.

One year I took a bunch of Skins and it actually paid off. It was in '99 and I drafted BJ, Davis and Westbrook all as backups. I also took E. James as a rookie and with him and Davis I cruised to the league title. BJ and Westbrook also worked out very well too.

I keep my heart out when it comes to picking Redskins. But I can never bring myself to start a player if his team is going up against the Redskins that week-unless my season is on the line.

I'm usually against picking many players from the same team, but it paid off for me a couple of years ago when, in an autodraft, I got Holmes, T. Green and Gonzo

I know that keeping your "heart out of it" is always good advice for building a successful fantasy team - but I feel stronger about the Skins than I do about fantasy football. I'd rather see the Skins win than my fantasy team. So I do allow a little bias to float in. But if the Skins have a big year - and they will eventually - then it'll be a double-whammy.

I also don't like to start players against the Skins - it's not fun to cheer for a player to do well against us!

If you really want to win at fantasy football, that is the attitude you HAVE to take. But I am like you - for that one or two games a year that a guy plays against the Skins, it is tough to put him in the lineup. If they are a borderline player or if they are going against a true strength on the Redskins, I will bench them. A quality player stays in my lineup if I can't find SOME justification for benching him, besides the fact I will be rooting AGAINST him that day LOL. What's really nice is when your fantasy player has a big game against the Skins, but the Skins WIN!!

I hear that! That's definitely the best...

By the way, I was never condoning benching a stud player (ie 1st round pick) against the skins... that's nutz.
