As it's getting closer to Fantasy Football time again, I thought it might be a good idea to join a league and have a Draft, just to refresh my memory on all things Fantasy Football.

I decided that, as an experiment, I'd not attend the Live Draft but I'd "autopick" instead ... just to see which players went at which positions.

The Draft results themselves are quite mixed, there are some players I like and will keep, others that I don't rate and will swap on the Waiver Wire.

but there is one thing that is really putting me off this league and gives me those alarm bells that say "cut your losses, this league is gonna be bad news" ..... my first opponent in the league is called ... Pooper Scooper

I just know that things are gonna get worse and worse

OK ... using the nfl.com rankings for 'Autopick', here are the players that I got and in the order that they were picked (this is a 10 team league).

I'll also list the Waiver moves that I've made .... tell me who you'd try to get rid of and why !

Pick 4 - G Jennings (he was a Keeper)
Pick 17 - T Romo
Pick 24 - W Welker
Pick 37 - A Hernandez
Pick 44 - M Turner
Pick 57 - V Jackson
Pick 64 - W McGahee
Pick 77 - Steve Johnson
Pick 84 - P Willis
Pick 97 - C Campbell
Pick 104 - K Chancellor
Pick 117 - S Tulloch
Pick 124 - J Babin
Pick 137 - D Landry
Pick 144 - Steelers Def
Pick 157 - DeAngelo Williams
Pick 164 - S Holmes
Pick 177 - J Freeman
Pick 184 - J Tamme
Pick 197 - Eagles Def
Pick 204 - N Rackers

and on the waivers .... dumped J Freeman, picked up R Fitzpatrick
dumped Eagles Def, picked up Broncos Def
dumped J Tamme , picked up J Gresham

lol .... draft was on Friday and nobody else has hit the waiver wire yet ....I could clean up here !

lol ... it was just a gut feeling ..... Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller were impressive towards the end of last season, the Eagles seem to blow hot and cold ....... and as it's just one starting Defense, I decided that the Steelers tend to always be a good Fantasy Defense, and I'd go with the Broncos too as a reserve Defense.

brave move but i would expect you to regret it by the end of the season - the Eagles DST are widely regarded as a premium unit, especially with their turnover ratios - the Steelers are very much an aging unit on the decline, and the Broncos are...well, they are the Broncos.

Along with Philly ive been targeting the Lions and Seahawks as reserve options - id think you could leave the Broncos on the waivers and pick them up as and when needed due to matchups.

Here's what is currently left on Waivers (lol ...I've got it all to myself at the moment ) :-

Seahawks , Cards , Bengals , Bills , Eagles , Chiefs , Vikings , Dolphins , Browns , Skins , Titans , Jags , Rams , Saints , Chargers , Raiders , Cowboys , Falcons , Bucs , Panthers , Colts

and as , judging by the logos, this league seems to be populated by Brown's fans ....I'm expecting some loyal (but slightly warped ! ) individual to maybe pick up the Browns
