Question: Who’s the biggest doofus in your fantasy football starting line-up?
Posted on September 30th, 2009 by Mike under NFL, fantasy footballI don’t know if my berating of Frank Gore in yesterday’s post properly alluded to the Fantasy Football running back quandary that is stifling me at the present…

Put it to you like this: I just picked up Maurice Morris and Jerome Harrison, and they’re both in my starting line-up for Sunday.
That’s after I was unable to pick up Ladell Betts off the waiver wire.
And in the interest of full disclosure, to make room on the roster, I dropped Zach Miller to pick up Maurice (who I opted for over Sammy Morris, in fact) and Earnest P-Funk Graham to pick up Jerome. Which means it took me this long to get rid of both those guys.
However, I’m 3-0, Jack. With a win coming last week off some powerful performances from Gore (0 points), Trent Edward (2 points) and Tim Hightower (0 points). This, as I see it, is indicative of only one thing - that other people in my league are being forced to promote even bigger schlubs than the roster I just laid out in front of you.
In the interest of self pity in a group environment, I invite you to leave your #1 doofus currently in your fantasy starting line-up in the comments…
Preferably players you’ve been forced to pick-up, but this forum is also willing to comfort those plagued by bad drafting (doofuses like Delhomme, Tomlinson).
SIDEBAR: Earnest Graham looking dapper in a tan suit, standing next to a graffiti’d out train on what appears to be a stormy day. Something to ponder.

So far its a tie between Lee Evans and Matt Forte. My first and sixth round picks. However, I feel vindicated for getting Dallas Clark in the third round.

Ha, vindication is a great term to attach to Dallas Clark this year.
