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!
