Fantasy Football Update

After three weeks of the NFL season I thought I would share an update on my fantasy football team. Week one I opened up with a huge win having the biggest blowout of the season. I followed that up with a solid win in week two.

Last week I had a big lead 50 points going into Monday night''s game. Then like a Hail Mary completion as time expires my team lost despite scoring the second highest point total of the season.

This week coming up I had to make adjustments. Since the New England Patriots have a week off I lost two starters. Tom Brady and the kicker. Last week I picked up Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles. He is a starting quarterback and ac couple of starters had gone down for injuries. I picked him up mainly to take another starter off the board. This week I will turn to him. This week I picked up Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould as a replacement.

I am also starting Jacksonville WR Allen Hurns this week another pick up. So far  this season I have picked up Bortles, Hurns and Gould. I gave up David Cobb who is on injured reserves, Robert Griffin III who isn't starting, and Charles Johnson who hasn't been very productive.

As different players become available I will certainly look for an upgrade or two.

How is your team doing?

Thoughts on the Jacksonville Jaguars Draft

I don't like the pick of Blake Bortles with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft. I think they could have gotten him or similar talent later in the first round and I would have rather them trade down and receive another pick or something. On the other hand the Jaguars were decisive and made the decision Bortles was the Quarterback of the future for the team. That's who they wanted and that's who they picked.

I really liked their next picks! If you are planning a pass attack for the future you need to get your quarterback some targets. The Jags picked Marqise Lee a receiver out of USC with their first second round pick.

Then Jacksonville selected Penn State wide receiver Allen Robinson..

In the third round the Jaguars selected someone to help protect the quarterback with OL Brandon Linder from Miami.

Aaron Colvin a defensive back from Oklahoma to add depth to the defensive secondary.

In the fifth round Jacksonville drafted FSU's Telvin Smith a linebacker and . drafted a defensive end Chris Smith.

In the sixth they added center Luke Bowanko from Virginia and running back Storm Johnson in the final round. A very sold draft.
