Fantasy Football: For LT TD’s Comes In Pairs

By Patrick, on October 2nd, 2008 at 08:30 AM

Once again my weekly football post is late thanks to a business trip weekend.

I was winning 2 out of 3 leagues coming into Monday Night last week. In my Yahoo! league Mike was beating me by 21 points. The last hope I had was LaDanian Tomlinson and Thomas Jones. As I was watching the Jets/Chargers game I was rooting for my running backs to catch up. Jones only ended up scoring me one point but LT managed to close the gap from 21 points to 2. By the 4th quarter San Diego was up 41-22 and LT was being used to run out the clock- but would he run the 20+ yards I’d need to score? I was chatting with my pal Sean online:

Dmbosstone (11:13:50 PM): dude are you seeing the game between me and Mike?
smr12 (11:13:58 PM): yea!
smr12 (11:14:00 PM): its crazy

**San Diego rushes all the way to the New York 2-yard line**
Dmbosstone (11:14:15 PM): omg
Dmbosstone (11:14:19 PM): give LT the goal line carry
Dmbosstone (11:14:21 PM): and i’ll win
smr12 (11:14:27 PM): haha i know

**Tomlinson runs in for the TOUCHDOWN**

Dmbosstone (11:14:55 PM): YES
Dmbosstone (11:14:56 PM): YES
Dmbosstone (11:14:58 PM): YES
smr12 (11:15:00 PM): hahahaha
Dmbosstone (11:15:03 PM): LT IS MY BABY
That is why I play fantasy football.

Ok here’s where I stand after Week 4:

TMG Sportsline League (3-1)

I’m now tied in my division after a total domination of Corey’s team. Larry Johnson came through for me after many experts doubted ability to perform against Denver.

Yahoo! League (3-0)

I’m pulling out wins but I’m growing concerned with Braylon Edwards- I hope starts to perform soon. I actually have lots of depth for wide receivers but I am bone dry at Running Back. After LT and TJ- I got nothing. I’m hoping to grab some depth off the waiver wire.

Diet Yahoo! League (4-0)

I have a lot of my studs on bye this week- luckily I have been able to pick up some suitable replacements thanks to the shallowness of the league. Carson Palmer hasn’t been doing anything for me so far this year- unfortunately he might be my starter unless I can find somebody else off the wire.

Even though I’m having a great fantasy season- my pick’em season has been just terrible. I guess I can pick the players but I can’t call the games.
