Fantasy Football - Worth the Risk? 4for4.com Guest Blog

Fantasy Football - Worth The Risk?

The Hot Stove Blog at 4for4.com

August 2, 2009

For those of you new to the Hot Stove world, we look at fantasy differently here. As has been our mantra, we encourage interaction and it is your responses that keep us stoked. Think of us as your neighborhood tavern, and as the media tells us that we are not getting out as much these days, we’ll do our part to keep you engaged.

RYAN GRANT – POSTER BOY FOR 80%?

NFL news trickling out now has the requisite stuff that clubs wish for us to accept, and we feel particularly annoyed that the Packers now tell us that front liner RB Ryan Grant, was, in fact, limited through out the ’08 campaign with a hamstring injury, sustained shortly after returning from a pre-season hold out. The severity was news to us; it took a few weeks to realize that what we drafted as a sleeper #1 turned out to be a weak #3, with a pathetic TWO plays over 20 yards all season. Probably took one week for club DCs to notice; why do you think QB Rodgers “struggled” somewhat last season? We now are expected to accept that Grant will be fine –don’t think about what we didn’t say last year, OK?—and the next time I read that an attack player is “80%” healthy, I want to throw up.

INJURIES YOU NEED TO WATCH

2009 Players on our injury BS watch list include:

QB: Brady (NE),
Palmer (CIN),
Hasselbeck (SEA),
Anderson (CLE)

RB: Addai (IND),
Barber (DAL),
Forte (CHI),
Westbrook (dang it!) (PHI),
LT (SD)

WR: Colston (double dang!) (NO),
Branch (SEA),
Marshall (DEN),
Avery (STL)

Speaking of Brandon Marshall, we see that the WR divas are in full stride, so to speak, with nearly half of the 2009 Pro Bowler WRs in some kind of angst, usually involving money or attention. Boldin (ARI), a Stove-admired warrior but a diva by definition here, and White (ATL), join Marshall in the annual WR-thinking-they-are-the-show-and-want-to-get-paid-for-it parade. Making the Pro Bowl apparently does this to you. But divas beware; former recent ‘Bowler WRs will be jettisoned without remorse. Just look at Owens(BUF), Holt (JAC) and Harrison (F/A), banished to foreign or obscure outposts. Once the NFL exports to Canada, Germany, Mexico, Argentina, or worse (San Antonio? only joking) – with BUF and JAC first in line to move, they’ll really have their Siberia firmly in place for these guys.

Also speaking of injuries, divas, and annoying hypocrisy, we have the embodiment of all in one package, namely, futbol’s David Beckham, reacting petulantly to the LA Riot Squad’s really mean words last week. Those Yanks just don’t get the sports celebrity thing, do
they?

Stove Kudos to….

Kick ass competitor Michael Phelps, who dissed diva Milorad “I’m an Animal of Emotion” Cavic in the World’s 100-fly this weekend. Cavic offered to buy Phelps one of his really cool looking X-Glides to level the field days before the race. Phelps didn’t need it. Stud.
