This week has been uncharacteristically quiet for my fantasy squad. No injuries. No bye weeks for any of my players. Not even any trash talk from my buddies (probably due to the fact that I finally pulled myself out of last place). During the week, I'm usually sitting around adding players and dropping guys who aren't producing well, but this week there was very minimal amounts of that going on.
This can probably be attributed to my first win last week. Everything went well for me. Every member of my starting roster put together a stellar performance that any fantasy owner would be proud of. Last year was a downward spiral from the top of the leader board; maybe this year can be a graceful climb from the cellar. It's easy to get caught up in thoughts like that when your team produces such a bountiful week.
Even with last weeks success, this week was overly quiet. I can't help but to think that something terrible awaits me tomorrow or Monday night. Worst case scenario would be losing one of my running backs, a position where my team has been already weak all year. Losing my QB would also prove disastrous to my already wounded season. I almost wish that something bad would have happened during this week's practices, just to get it out of their system, so that come Sunday I could have a healthy core roster.
I could just be paranoid.
Maybe this weeks games go off without a hitch. Maybe I win another match up. But then again, maybe I don't. Maybe my season becomes unrevivable on a fluke injury or an unjustifiable hit. The guys in the league will call me the minuet something like that happens (and let's get this straight, it won't be a call trying to cheer me up about my terrible luck; it will be a call rubbing in every season ending detail).
Anyway I look at this possible calm before the storm, I'll just have to see how it plays out tomorrow and Monday.
