Meet The "Calvin And Hobbs" Fantasy Football Team

The good news: My computer did not overheat causing my browser to crash during the fantasy draft! The bad news: I have come to the conclusion that I need a new computer, one with a faster processor, more than 2 GBs of memory, and one that is not 3 years old.

Even though people that did not join the league probably do not care about this, I am posting it anyway. Here is my 1st ever fantasy football team, Calvin And Hobbs! And for those wondering, yes, Jorrick Calvin did survive the final day of cuts. Jorrick Calvin and Ellis Hobbs are still Eagles, at least for now.

If I can make it to the playoffs, I'll be thrilled beyond belief. Even though it is my first time playing, I decided to not go on the safe side with everything. Sure I got Peyton Manning, but I have a feeling Mike Sims-Walker and Michael Crabtree can be real fantasy sleepers. Also, I am taking a chance and hoping that C.J. Spiller lives up to the hype. Certainly some risky picks and if they pay off I hope I can get into the playoffs, if not, then I guess being the Detroit Lions of fantasy football is not the worst thing in the world, right? That distinction goes to having a fear that your computer is showing early signs of death.

Update: I dropped WR Robert Meachem and added WR Kenny Britt, although I put in a claim to another WR that I hope will soon replace Britt. My first fantasy rookie mistake: I cut Meachem thinking I could claim the WR I wanted right away. I did not realize I needed to wait. So I cut Meachem, made the claim, realized he won't be on my team for a week if I even get the claim, and filled out my roster by adding Britt, a WR I had my eye on but did not select.
