AGS owners crest the halfway point of this spooky season.
What is it that we love about this game? If you had Jayden Daniels or Deebo Samuel in your lineup (like I did), then you probably lost your Week 7 matchup. Mike Evans blowing out his hamstring didn’t help. Losing Brandon Aiyuk and Chris Godwin hurt you. Relatable. So, why do we play this dumb ass game of fantasy football?
Comradery. Sure. If you’re winning, everything is chummy. When you’re losing, you’re the ass end of the jokes. Understandable. You, me, we probably deserve it. We made unwise draft picks, or missed the weekly waiver warrior every time, or got rid of the wrong guy, and that is why we’re under .500. Things just haven’t gone our way.
On the flip side, you made a lot of good choices if you’re sitting with three or fewer losses. Your draft was solid. You have the Midas waiver wire touch. You pulled off a slick trade. You’re crushing it. Everything has gone your way. Halfway through the season, and your playoff ticket is all but punched.
I urge a bit of discretion in your approach to braggadocio. Perhaps, reconsider rubbing it in the faces of the rest of the owners in your league. There’s still another half to this strange 2024 fantasy football season, and things can still get spooky for you. That and more on the Any Given Sunday podcast Week 7 recap.
