Prep Early for Fantasy Football

by David Hooper on Jan 13, 2009 12:08 PM MST

I don't play fantasy football, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to fantasy implications from offseason moves. And for those who do play, it's probably worth noting right now that the coaching change in Denver has one huge implication for FF in the coming years:

Drafting a Denver RB may be a viable strategy for the first time in the history of organized Fantasy Football.

Under Shanny, drafting a Denver RB was virtually the kiss of death to a FF team. Either your Denver RB woudl be traded or relegated to bit duty as some last-second walk-on would end up with 15 kabillion yards of rushing. So plot early and plot often; those Denver RBs might be more than midseason mercenary trade bait!

i'll wait a year. lol i draft travis henry two years ago....i'll draft broncos qb and wr. lol

This is my GAP, there are many like it but this one is mine. Without my GAP I am useless, without me, they will run through my GAP. I will protect my GAP and have my brothers back on his. I will not be moved from my GAP, I am a crazed dog that patrols this area and will defeat all who entire it. I own this GAP, it is mine. I bought it with blood and sweat. I will not be pushed. I will not be moved. This Sunday I will make a stand and a statement.

Same here.

Henry’s absolute suckiness ccost me my fantasy season and doomed the Broncos season.

Thanks to Mike Shanahan, a great coach who will be dearly missed. But...
Let's all get on the Mac Daddy Express!
Hillis for starter next year. He wears special thigh pads so his solid brass balls don't give him repeated thigh contusions.

I'm in a dynasty league

and I picked up Hillis midway thru this last season. Couldn’t be happier. Now the question is…do I hang onto LT or trade him?

Welcome Aboard, Josh McDaniels!

Trade his ass.

See if you can pick up a draft pick or a good youngster at any position. And try to lobby for a package deal. Get a good youngster AND a draft pick!

I can deal with bears....sharks on the other hand.......of course, I am not talking about if I were menstrual(I’m a guy so that isn’t it), but yeah. I can deal with bears if my arm or something was bleedin’, but sharks? I’ll pass on those. The worst feeling in the world is to be out in the surf and feel something very large brush up against your leg as you were alone waiting for your next wave. I don’t think I’ve gone out past waist deep in the ocean since. lol It was probably just a damn dolphin or something, but yeah. Screw sharks and the evolutionary train they rode in on!
