Having sure-fire fantasy options like Arian Foster and Matt Ryan on your team would probably make you feel confident in your team right? Well here I am in week 10 at 3 wins and 6 losses with both of these "sure-fire" options on my bench.
The writing has been on the wall all year for Foster. He didn't take a single snap all pre-season, yet every fantasy football manager was quick to jump on Foster. Not only jump on him, but jump early. Most drafts saw Foster go first round. Most likely, many leagues saw him go with the first or second pick. How disappointed must his fantasy owners be? Well, as a fantasy owner of Arian Foster, let me answer that... Disgruntled. I thought Arian Foster would put up big numbers this year. I'm not saying he doesn't play well, but the guy ends up benched more times than not with some kind of injury. He's killing his owners... and me!
Matt Ryan hasn't been a big help lately either. With his top two wide receivers sidelined with injuries, Ryan hasn't been able to produce the all-star quality numbers we're used to seeing from him. Last week the poor guy threw 3 interceptions and 1 touchdown.... AWFUL!!! I had the worst fantasy performance of my career, partially do to that sub-par kind play!
Can anybody help me out?
You can say that this was a rebuilding week for me... I made six waiver wire moves. Picked up Andre Brown, who has the unique opportunity to come back from an injury and almost walk into a starting role at running back for my beloved New York Giants. Hopefully his newly healed leg stays strong... with the way my season has been going, I wouldn't be surprised if Brown goes down the first time he lays a finger on the ball.
Overall, I'm hurting. My team can't stay healthy. PERIOD.
I found this post to be so funny. I really enjoyed reading it because you manage to keep it informative while still being able to add your personality to your blog posts. You make information that isn’t familiar to others easier to grasp and actually understand. I think you do a great job when transitioning to football facts and your opinions. You have a strong voice and I think you are doing a great job with the entire blog.
