Hating the fantasy football team I drafted is a tradition unlike any other, and this year was no exception:
Clinton-Dix Lewinsky 2020 is a team I just drafted & will certainly hate:
QB Cousins, Allen
RB Ingram, Lindsay, Penny, Hunt
WR Michael Thomas, Robby Anderson, Moncrief, Westbrook
TE Kelce
FLEX Kittle
K Lutz, Gostkowski
D/ST Chargers, Browns— Luis M. Needs A Clever, New Display Name (@lcm1986) August 25, 2019
For what it’s worth, I hate this team less now than I did when I first drafted it because I’m starting to realize how much upside it has at running back and wide receiver. Having the top two tight ends is neat, too. My major weakness is at quarterback, where I was targeting Mitch Trubisky and Kyler Murray late, but that proved to be a mistake. Perhaps Josh Allen (who was the top-scoring fantasy quarterback over the final six weeks) puts up top-12 numbers against a whack AFC East (save for the Patriots) and a third-place schedule.
Insane.
Ryan Grigson killed Andrew Luck's career.
Pressured 16 times per game under Grigson's watch, MOST in NFL & hit MOST of any QB.
From 2012-2015, Grigson drafted just 3 O-Linemen before rd 7:
•Hugh Thornton (trash)
•Jack Mewhort (trash)
•Khaled Holmes (trash)So sad. https://t.co/61HtIEqd8N
