Another Alex Smith...

...Just kidding!! Ha! Fooled you! I bet you were thinking "WTF? Another one!?! I wouldn't do that to you. I would actually like to talk about Fantasy Football.

I know it's a little early for this subject, but unfortunately for me I didn't discover this wonderful site until pretty recently and I wasn't here last year around this time. Maybe Fooch or someone has something scheduled to discuss FF a little closer in proximity to the beginning of the season but I figured "what the hell"? There is so little going on this time of year, plus I'm super excited for the FF season along with the upcoming 49ers championship season. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes.

I've never done a post so I guess I'll utilize this jump thingy now.

I LOVE fantasy football and I'm guessing a good portion of my NN friends love it, too. One of the cool things about FF is that it forces me to learn about all the other football teams and players on those teams. I've always been a die hard niners fan, but up until about four years ago (when I started playing FF) my knowledge of the rest of the league was somewhat minimal. Still, there is much more for me to learn about players, at least from a FF standpoint. This is where you come in. I am hoping to get everyone's opinions about player rankings, sleepers, etc. Is Chris Johnson in for another increadible season or whill he falter now that teams are going to key-in on him? Will Adrian Peterson try and hold onto the ball this year or will he lose two point for his fantasy owners every week? (I know, it wasn't every week.) Who will be this years top receiver? Will it be our very own Michael Crabtree? I sure hope so. Manning or Brees? Truth be told, I would pee my pants like a little girl at a Jonas Brothers concert if I got either one of these two. But if I don't land either one, who should be at the top of my list for QB's? And it seems like every year there is at least one or two players that come out of nowhere and blow up. Who is that going to be this year?

I'm even more excited this year than I have been in the past. Why? Thanks for asking. It's because for the first time in my FF career, I find myself wanting my team to be riddled with 49ers. Let's be honest: in recent years, Frank the Tank has been the only real stud fantasy-wise. That is until last year when the NFL got more VD than they could handle. That being said, I would like to post who I want on my team. Please feel free to do the same. In fact, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

This is my somewhat realistic but very hopeful scenario. Please feel free to post your own realistic or dream scenario. Also, this comes with a disclaimer that things will probably change as we get closer to the season due to injuries and other things. Here it is:

QB: Manning or Brees. Again, I would be very excited. Sing at his press conferences excited. If I don't get either of them, I would like Matt Shaub or Aaron Rodgers. I may even pick up Alex Smith as my backup. (Please, no Alex Smith tangents. I will reach into my computer and slap you. Yes, I can do that.)

RB: CJ and Frank Gore. (I know, I'm dreaming.)

WR: Andre Johnson, Michael Crabtree. Obviously there are others I would love to have: Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Reggie Wayne etc. but I'm trying to be at least a little realistic.

TE: Vernon Davis. Antonio Gates is in a distant second on my wish list.

Defense: 49ers. Jets and Vikes are next in line.

DP (Defensive Player. Not all fantasy leagues have this but mine does): Patrck Willis. If not him, then I want Jon Beason.

K: Joe Nedney. Why not?

So that about covers it. I'm looking forward to your input. Actually, one more thing: I am only in one FF league and am looking to possibly join another. If anyone needs to fill a spot in their league, lemme know.
