A lonely fantasy Island


So far my fantasy football season is anything but. Between the real-life injury to a certain MVP QB and the fact that I'm relying on Matt Schaub to lead the Munoz Moustache Club to victory, it's been a rough start. It especially hurts considering some guys are carrying 2 kickers and 2 defenses without having checked their team for the first 2 weeks of the season. Meanwhile I'm hording fantasy mags and stalking Matthew Berry outside the World Wide Leader offices in Bristol. To paraphrase Craig T. Nelson, Fantasy Sports can be a cruel Bitch mother.

As our league's Tuesday Morning Quarterback, Peter Kim has laid out the standings and shown the world what a pathetic little turd monger I am. Times are rough for the squad. That's why I'm opening it up to anyone. I'll listen to any suggestions for trades I should make. Here's the breakdown:

Strengths:
RB: Willis McGahee, Brian Westbrook, Felix Jones, Steve Slayton

Weakness:
QB: Matt Freakin' Shaub, Jason Campbell
TE: Dallas Clark, Dante Rosario

Could Improve:
WR: Andre Johnson, Devery Henderson, Tory Holt, Roy Williams

The problem is that Williams and Johnson haven't gotten going and Tory Holt has a limp biscuit throwing to him. While beefing up WR would be nice, my immediate concern is to get a QB who can score more than 10 points per game. That would be a nice start. I'm sure I'd have to get rid of a RB to do it, but c'est la vie. In the immortal words of Stuart Scott, Lemme know.
