BCC Boyz Fantasy Football League

Well, the draft has taken place, so who has the best team? After analyzing all of the teams, I would have to say that the Jekyll Island Jaguars, led by team manager Scott Limerick, have to be a strong contender. They had the highest total team average and that was counting the Eagles Donovan McNabb's injury filled 2005 stats. If he bounces back this year, JIJ will be hard to beat. And the trade for 1000 yard receiver Chris Chambers doesn't hurt his chances either. He gave up rookie Mike Bell and Julius Peppers. Yes, Peppers is one of the most, if not the most, dominant defensive players in the NFL, but when it comes to Fantasy League he averaged less than 5 points per game. Hardly earth shattering even for defensive players who produce much lower point totals than offensive players. With LaDainian Thompson leading the offense and RB Reuben Droughns who had over 1500 yards rushing and receiving, his backfield looks really strong. WR's Torry Holt and Chambers both averaged over 10 points per game, so the Jags are strong their as well.

When you look at the Jags defense, it looks like the rest of us were asleep draft day. They have the #1 rated LB in Jonathan Vilma, the #1 S in Adrian Wilson, the #1 CB in Charles Tillman, and the #1 kicker in the Cardinal's Neil Rackers. How the heck did that happen? I have to admit Limerick is pretty sharp, but come on...#1's at every defensive position? Somebody kick me.

His backups include 3 QB's and 3 RB's. Some of the fellas probably wish they had Dante Culpepper as their starter. He has looked pretty good during the preseason. DeShaun Foster, if he can stay healthy, could be a top RB, but that is highly unlikely given his past. Nice job Scott with drafting a mighty fine club. I'll rate some of the other leading teams with my next post.

Before I sign off I have to mention our new team name. The Big Pimpin' Turtles. Watch out for the BPT's because they will compete! Check out the team logo. Peace Out!

Gettin' Ready For Some (Fantasy) Football!

A'ight ya'll, it's time to get yo' Hank on cuz you know we gettin' ready for some football! Our BCC Boyz Fantasy Football League is tomorrow night and the dealin' has dun begun. The Knoxville Flash and the Gainesville Vol Wreckers have just completed the first trade of the year, and it's a multiple draft picks blockbuster. The Flash get the 1st pick overall, the 1st pick in the 3rd round (21st) and the 1st pick in the 5th round (41st). In return the Vol Wreckers get the 6th pick in the 1st round, 5th pick in the 2nd round (15th), and the 6th pick in the third round (26th). So who's gettin' the best of this one?

Is Larry Johnson gonna go #1? Are there gonna be any surprises in the 1st round? Is Reggie Bush's nickname the "Baby Matrix" (Come on Joe Horn, can't you come up with sumpin better than that?), "Mr. President", "Baby Flash", or "Hurricane"? Will the Cowboys win a game this year with T.O.? (I HOPE NOT!..Sorry, I just had to let the world know that I HATE THE COWBOYS...no comment on T.O.) Will T.O.'s little hamstring hurt 'em all year? Poor little BABY! Will Carson Palmer bounce back? And what about all of the other injury ridden quarterbacks? Culpepper, Brees, Pennington, Griese, Roethlisberger. (You better have a good BACKUP, no matter what q-back you get!) Which team is the most improved? Which player that switched uniforms in the offseason have the greatest impact on his new team? Will the Bears have the best defense again this year or will the Panthers or Cowboys (yea, got to give dem Boys props on their defense) be up for the challenge? Will the Panthers make it to the Superbowl? So many questions, but we 'bout to get this party started, know what I'm sayin'!?! Oh, and how could I forget, let me make a bold prediction and say the MEAN GREEN gonna TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE! Holla at me.
