The Fantasy Apprentice Is Back!
Hello Folks, that’s right…the fantasy apprentice is back! I didn’t know if I would have time to do it again this year, but its looks like time will permit. I will admit, I got a little burnt out last year…started writing fantasy articles in May last year…by the time the season rolled around I wasn’t even really that excited about it. This year I stored up all my energy, and after ordering the NFL channel for the preseason games…I got the fever again.
To refresh everyone’s memory, and for anybody that may be new to the game, basically I create two teams that face off against each other just like normal fantasy football teams. The only difference is, at the end of every week, a player off the losing team that I feel performed the worst gets eliminated or fired (like the tv show the apprentice with Donald Trump). Many times the player who performed the worst overall was not fired, because he saved by the play of his teammates, who helped his team win the game. So, there is a little bit of luck involved as well.
If a player happens to get injured, I simply replace him with the next best available at his position. If this is debatable, I always turn to my twitter clan to take a vote.
The scoring system is PPR. 1 pt for each reception, 6 pts for each touchdown regardless of position and 1 pt for every 10 yards RB/WR and 1 pt for every 25 yards for QB.
I had a great time doing it last year. I actually did an NFL and college apprentice in 09’. This year I’m just sticking with the NFL. I feel like there is a great deal of legitimacy after crowning the first champion last year. Peyton Manning ended up winning the Fantasy Apprentice in 09’. It was a testament to not only his stats that he put up all year long, but also to his consistency.
So without further ado, here are the teams I choose for the Fantasy Apprentice in 2010:
Team 1
QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Chris Johnson
RB Ray Rice
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Miles Austin
WR/RB Frank Gore
TE Antonio Gates
Team 2
QB Drew Brees
RB Adrian Peterson
RB MJD
WR Andre Johnson
WR Randy Moss
WR Reggie Wayne
WR/RB Michael Turner
TE Dallas Clark
