81 points from Cassel and Bowe combined. I am a genius.

81 points from Cassel and Bowe combined. I am very lucky. Eventually my lack of diversification is going to come to haunt me.

Fixed that for you.

Heh. I'm on a five game winning streak now after I started 0-2. I'm in the only div in my league that has every team above .500 and I'm battling for the last spot in the playoffs.

Just because you're winning or that your strategy pays off doesn't mean you're right.

True. I'm not saying I'm right when the guys I got in return for Brees have done nothing for my team(Pierre Thomas, Favre, Steve Smith(NYG)). In fact, I have one of the lowest scoring teams in the league. I'm lucky that I'm about to be 6-4.

Bowe has been very valuable over the last 6 or 7 weeks. Cassell on the other hand... I wouldn't start him against TCU's defense.

It was either him or Sanchez(who I traded Fave for). I didn't think Sanchez would put up good numbers against the Browns(he did have 27 points, though). I felt like Cassel was going to have a big day against the Broncos D.

Luck has a bit to do with fantasy football. I won the league last year, i'm in last place this year. it's not like I suddenly forgot how to draft and manage rosters.

Luck has a lot to do with fantasy football. Draft day is essentially the day your team wins or loses and you don't even know it. Players will get hurt, flame out, rise from low ranks to high. The first two factors are completely unknown and out of your control, but you can pickup rising stars. Every move you make with regards to lineups and picking up replacement players is an educated wild guess. It doesn't matter the level of talent you accumulate. Coaches will design gameplans to get certain players the ball more often on offense or pack defenders on other players on defense. This changes every week and fantasy managers are completely in the dark. It's a crap shoot. A good manager can expect to add maybe only one win a fantasy season over the next replacement manager because of how the system is designed.

Now if you were able to find a less arcadey football game than Madden, draft players, play a season, you'd have real fantasy football where being a good gm/coach/coordinator would allow you to consistently win over the average manager.
