Bad Fantasy Advice

On satellite Radio, I heard these two fantasy football "experts" advising everybody on how to lose their asses.

They were discussing a tight end alternative for Jimmy Graham.

They named four or five guys.  Jordan Cameron wasn't one of them.

Then they talked running backs.  No Ben Tate.  For that matter, Isaiah Crowell gets in the end zone a lot, and he was persona non-stop grata as well.

Brian Hoyer wasn't mentioned.  Well, he gets about one td per game and not very many yards, so maybe that's not so ignorant.  But I guess these guy's advice can be summed up like this:  Don't play any Cleveland Browns.

More idiocy.  While even Pat Kirwan has stopped snickering at the mention of Brian Hoyer's name, some people are always three or four weeks behind.

My pal Bub, poor guy, is stuck with Ben Tate.  My heart bleeds.

Jaccobi McDaniel is no slouch.  This is the guy who tore it up in pre-season.  It's hard to predict how well he'll do today, but I guarantee you he won't suck.

Justin Gilbert has improved too.

I really like Blake Bortles.  He'll wind up being better than Big Ben, because he's much faster.  Ben is hard to take down, but shambles, whereas Bortles actually runs.  Fortunately, he's a rookie, and still making rookie mistakes.

I love how the coaches and players (notably Hoyer) are stressing harder work and a serious attitude.  We're all sick of Browns teams flying too close to the sun and turning into comets.  With guys like Dansby and Whitner, and even Hoyer, I don't see that happening.

And come to think of it, I bet McDaniel nails Bortles at least once.

They'll win.
