We admit it: we’ve never done the fantasy football thing before, so this week was our first try at the intricacies of ranking draft choices because you’re going to be at work when the draft happens, as well as at smack talking 140 characters at a time, etc.  But it turns out we did pretty well.

Our major coup, of course? Drew Brees, who we could have told you is probably the best QB in the NFL, even before what we’re watching right now, which we’ll cover in a moment.  We picked Chris Johnson, the RB out of ECU who plays for the Titans, and Cedric Benson (who had a personally good game despite the Bengals’ 12-7 loss) was in our other RB spot.

But here’s what we figured out.  You shouldn’t draft the kicker from one team and the defense for another team and then play both in the weekend they’re playing each other.  It leads to some identity-crisis football watching. Seriously, the mood swings reminded us of PMS.

Our total: 130.65 LEAGUE VICTORY!!

The week’s opponent: 90.67

Not bad for our first week, eh?
