Tonight was the third annual Mystic Fantasy Foozeball draft (formerly known as the Pizza Place League). While the league's manager list has changed drastically over the course of the years, the spirit of the league lives on through the teams of a few guys. Since the league began, the league settings were always a little different, such as having individual defensive players, multiple kickers, etc. As the commissioner of the league this year again, I decided to keep that idea and ended up having 2 QB's, 2 DEF's and 1 WR/RB. If you're in more than 2 or 3 leagues (4 in my case), it helps to have variation in the drafts to keep you on your toes, so that was another reason for the non-standard positions. Anyways, without any more rambling, here is my personal analysis of the draft...

I read a ton of stuff about fantasy football. Some of it is useful, some of it is crap, and some of it just makes me wonder how, or why, anyone could possibly use the advice in an actual fantasy football league.

It's pretty much settled at this point, after Quinn put on a bit of a show against Detroit (albeit in garbage time of a garbage game). Cleveland fans have tolerated a subpar team for too long, and I'd venture a guess that the Cavs reaching the NBA Finals and looking likely to remain a perennial contender makes the Dawg Pound even less willing to put up with a third-rate NFL franchise any longer. They'll be chanting his name at every home game until he finally gets the start, which is hardly an atmosphere that a guy like Charlie Frye is going to thrive in. He'll screw up and lose the job to Quinn by mid-season.

Frankly, I had no idea that the Dolphins were planning on continuing to use Brown as their kick returner - seems unnecessarily risky, especially given that his backup is Jesse "Who the hell am I, and why am I here?" Chatman. Now it appears that they may be coming to their senses and letting rookie wideout Ted Ginn Jr. do it. This doesn't affect Brown's value much, but it's a little reassuring if you've already drafted him. Ginn becomes a little more interesting if your league awards points for return yardage/TDs.
