I have been the comeback player of the year in my fantasy league this year, as I went 6-7-1 last year, and now I am 9-4 with one week left in the regular season, having already clinched the wild card. (There is no way in hell I am gonna win my division, the guy ahead of me has Brady, AD, Braylon, Plax, and Steve Smith. Weird thing is, I started the season 0-3, losing my first three games a combined 313-199. I had high hopes after I thought I had drafted a fairly solid team. (Shows ya how well I draft...) This was my roster after draft day...

QB-Matt Leinart

QB-Eli Manning

RB-Rudi Johnson

RB-Travis Henry

RB-Edgerrin James

RB-Tatum Bell

WR-Larry Fitzgerald

WR-Darrell Jackson

WR-Donte Stallworth

WR-Greg Jennings

WR-D.J. Hackett

TE-Owen Daniels

K-Justin Medlock

DEF-Panthers

 

Week 1-

QB-Matt Leinart

RB-Travis Henry

RB-Edgerrin James

WR-Larry Fitzgerald

WR-Darrell Jackson

WR-Lee Evans

TE-Owen Daniels

K-Jeff Reed

DEF-Cowboys

Bench

QB-Alex Smtih

QB-Matt Leinart

RB-Rudi Johnson

WR-Donte Stallworth 

RB-Tatum Bell

 

As you can see, I picked up Lee Evans off the waiver wire (the guy who dropped him looks like a genius now...) as well as Smith, Reed, and the Cowboys D. I will now skip to my roster for tomorrow...

QB-Derek Anderson

RB-Edgerrin James

RB-Rudi Johnson

WR-Bobby Engram

WR-Greg Jennings

WR-Wes Welker

TE-Owen Daniels

K-Jeff Reed

DEF-Cowboys

Bench

QB-Eli Manning

RB-Kevin Jones

RB-Fred Taylor

WR-Lee Evans

WR-Larry Fitzgerald

 

Only James, Johnson, Manning, and Fitz have not been on the waiver wire this year. To say it in three words, my team improved. That is all...

Good deal Squirrel, gotta love the waiver wire. I have Derek and Braylon matched up in the Fantasy toolbox league, dropped the first 2 games and have been undefeated there since. I picked Derek and Welker off the wire and they have been golden.
Question. Why are you starting Rudy over Taylor?

I'm not anymore...Since I posted this, I picked up Phil Dawson for Reed, dropped Evans for Crayton, and I think I'm starting Taylor over James, but I have to figure out James or Johnson tomorrow. I am starting Fred now...

James would be my choice. Rudi isnt back to full form and besides he's splitting carries with Watson and now they have added Dee Dee Dorsey into the mix. Evans is a top tier guy and they are playing Miami I think but the QB situation makes him iffy. I would be nervous.
