It's that time of year again...

where a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of, if not love, then the next best thing... fantasy football.

And this season being what it is, it's a wacky one already. First, before I even start wanking about the typical "who do I keep this season?" question, a thought on Favre: jesus, buddy, Aaron Rogers is probably fantasizing about beating you with a board right now. Watch your ass.

Okay, returning to said wanking. So whointhehell do I keep from last season? Looking over my lineup, I gotta say I'm not terribly impressed. Marion Barber was a pleasant surprise, so yeah, keeping him. But for that second slot, I've got a bunch of question marks. Matt Hasselbeck? Maybe, but he's getting old and injury-prone... plus, his WR corps got depleted this last season. Lavernaeus Coles? Good, but old, and who knows who's gonna be throwing him the ball? Steve Smith is solid in and of himself, but first, he's out the first two games this season for his suspension, and second, the ever-popular question of which Jake Of-the-Man shows up this year?

GAH. At least I've got the third overall pick, so hopefully a good RB falls my way. Looks like it's gonna be Barber and Smith, and just hope I don't shit the bed too badly the first two games.
