I’m in two fantasy football leagues this year. One with some friends and the other with some random douches.

The one with my friends had its draft on Friday. I had to miss it and, of course, the auto-draft was so-so. Below is my team. It’s a league of 10 teams so it will be pretty competitive.

Team Name: Sex Cannons 

Starters
QB - Phillip Rivers
WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh
WR - Anaquan Boldin
WR - Andre Johnson
RB - Joseph Addai
RB - Willie Parker
TE - Tony Gonzalez
K - Jeff Wilkins
DEF - Pittsburgh

Bench
QB - Eli Manning
WR - Ronald Curry
WR - Kevin Curtis
WR - Drew Bennett
TE - Desmond Clark
RB - Jamal Lewis
RB - DeAngelo Williams
K - Josh Scobee
DEF - St. Louis

I’m satisfied with my QBs.  I think Rivers will be decent enough and I’ll only have to use Manning on the weekends the Chargers have a bye. Rivers doesn’t throw a lot of picks (especially compared to Manning) and I think the Chargers will be a Super Bowl caliber team this year.

I’m nervous about my RBs. Parker should be solid this year as he has almost no competition, but he can be injury prone. Addai had 7 touchdowns last year, but none in the last four games of the regular season. He averaged less than 70 yards per game on the ground. I guess that’s not horrible for a rookie and he was a decent fantasy back when all was said and done. I’m also worried about Jamal Lewis being able to produce with the Browns. He’s starting on my bench for just that reason.

Houshmandzadeh and Boldin make a great one-two punch at WR, but the other four I have to choose from to start are pretty pathetic. At least all three starters had over 1,000 years receiving last year. Meh. I have one of the best fantasy TEs so I guess I can’t complain too much. However, KC’s QB still leaves a lot to be desired so I don’t know how effective Gonzalez will be this year.

My two defenses are average at best and both were ranked out of the top 10 in terms of fantasy points scored by defenses last year. Buffalo’s defense is available, I might go after them and tell St. Louis to GTFO.

All in all, I don’t think I much of a shot at winning the whole damn thing. Maybe someone will pop up on the FA wire or someone like Addai and Johnson might just end up playing past their potential. It could be a long year for the Sex Cannons.

My other team (i can has HGH?) drafts on Wednesday. I’ll be around for that one.
