The biggest fantasy football mistake ever? |
|
Some guy in my league left Brady on the bench and played Hasselbeck.
Hasselbeck was only worth 1.68 points for him while Brady would have been worth 60.20.
Ever seen a bigger screw up? I know I haven't.

1. That person must have been listening to fantasy "experts" all week |

Because that is what they have been saying all week, "start Hasselbeck against Arizona's D."
I don't blame the "experts" because on paper Arizona had the #32 ranked pass defense mostly because a 400 yard passing game by Peyton Manning can skew those stats especially early in the season. But the defense overall is good, they can apply pressure and they are #1(look at the numbers if you don't believe that) in stopping the run and they held Hasselbeck to 112 passing yards, a lost fumble, and an interception. :woohoo:
The biggest fantasy mistake would have to be myself. In 2004 Denver was battling injuries at the RB position so they planned on starting FB Rueben Droughns at RB. I know in those days Denver could plug in a guy off the street and he'll run for a 1,000 yards but I doubted myself, I said to myself "He's a fullback, he can't be an effective RB."
Anyways first start at RB he rushes for 193 yards against Carolina and someone picks him up faster than a blink of the eye and goes on to rush over 1,000 yards.
Edit/Unlike the person in your league, I started 'Arizona' defense and they scored me 16 fantasy points as opposed to the 1.68 points scored for Hasselbeck. :evilgrin:

3. In 2002, a friend took Janikowski in the first round of the draft. n/t |
|
Starting Hasselbeck over Brady was an awful call. Drafting a kicker in the 1st round was just flat out idiotic.

5. Unfortunately for the Raiders, it wasn't |

My friend had the good sense to give up on Fantasy Football after that season.

6. In the same league I just traded Brady and benched Austin week 5 |
|
I am not overly worried about trading Tom Brady as I am the first place team in the league, have Rivers and Cutler, and the best stable of RBs in the league (tempted to trade one away for a second WR but other then that I am good)... and I still won despite benching Austin, but that would have given me another 30 points.
