What Do You Think My Bruno Boys League Team?
Today, I will show you the first of my five drafts. You are going to want to pay attention to how I manage my teams for three reasons; first, whether you agree with my moves or not you get a sense for how you want to manage your team. Second, you will learn something from everything I do, right or wrong. Third, I am trying to put together a little contest were I will give you the opportunity to win some cash each week based on my teams performance.
Todays league is one that us Bruno Boys put together to see who the real Bruno Boy expert is. This ten team league is pretty straight forward. Line is as follows QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, D with seven on the bench. The scoring is standard (no points per reception..bummer) and there is and NHL style playoffs.
By NHL style playoffs I mean all but four teams can make the playoffs which is over half the league. I’m not much for having a playoff during the regular season anyway but if we must have them, why water it down even more. If you aren’t good enough to finish in the top half of your league you shouldn’t have a chance to win it. BUT ANYWAY, when in Rome right?
Here is what my team looks like.
Projected Starters
Vince Young
Brian Westbrook
Travis Henry
Terrel Owens
Roy Williams
D.J. Hackett
Todd Heap
Matt Stover(Picked up K Stephan Gostkowski NE instead. After thinking about it I think he will be the higher scorer plus I’ve been sipping the New England Kool-Aid lately)
Bronco’s D(Picked up Carolina, too many injuries for the Broncos lately)Bench
John Kitna
DeAngelo Williams
Adrian Peterson (MN)
Warrick Dunn(Recently dropped to pick up RB Tony Hunt PHI the possible Westbrook back up and TD vulture)
Santonio Holmes
Isaac Bruce
Eric Moulds(added WR Jacoby Jones HOU after seeing him tear it up in two straight pre-season games…worth a flyer in my opinion)
Overall I am pretty happy with my draft in this league. Solid QB’s and solid TE. I have some good depth at receiver along with a ton of upside.
My RB3 situation is a little sketchy but I figure one of those guys will pan out plus I will be a hawking the waiver wire just in case. There is always someone serviceable available with these small rosters.
My recent wide receiver, running back, kicker and defense acquisitions are probably me just over-thinking things but moves like that have paid off many times in the past. Tony Hunt and Jacoby Jones could be more beneficial to my team in the long run than the players I dropped and the kicker and defense moves should be the last I make at least until bye weeks.
Feel free to comment below if you have any thoughts. I’ll see you soon with the results from my Blogger League autodraft.

The NHL style playoff rewards picking players that may take awhile to develop – so I like your young bench, with the exception of Isaac Bruce, who fits as well since he’s a player that is also in a high beta situation, on the end of his run but potentially some great weeks left. Your starting squaud is a coin flip. Hawking the waiver wire well may be essential, because you don’t have a lot of proven performers. But you do have a lot of upside. Given the format, I like your position. Where can I see the other teams to compare?
Thanks for the comments Black Liberace,
No matter how you spin it, NHL style is bad in my opinion. But thanks for the nice comment.
Here is a link to the league, see if that works. It is the Bruno Boys League on ESPN. http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=208974&seasonId=2007
If that didn’t work, there are posts about the league and the entire draft at http://MVN.com/nfl-fantasy.
Thanks again,

I think Colombus Cows, Altadena Milkmen, and Bank of Bruno Money are in trouble.
Filmont Fudruckers is tough, looks to be the team to beat.
BL!
Doin your homework… on my league even! And you say I’m tireless.
