Prediction Time
With the regular season now just a day away, it’s time to talk about who has the best team - at least as it stands today - in The Phinsider Fantasy Football League.
To be honest, though, there are a number of teams (other than my own…but I’m a little bias, of course) that - on paper - I think could be the favorite to win the championship. I think the “Hanging Chads” have a solid core group - including Drew Brees (who I love), MJD, and Anquan Boldin (who I think is in store for a big year if Kurt Warner reamins the starter). “Ted Ginn’s Family” also has a solid team with guys like Tom Brady, Braylon Edwards, Hines Ward, and Antonio Gates (if he’s healthy). But I worry about their depth at RB. Reggie Bush and Ronnie Brown aren’t exactly a lock for carries and could easily miss a game here and there due to injuries. And backing them up is rookie Felix Jones - who will lose carries to Marion Barber but should get involved in the passing game.
But I think that “Witness This” could be the team with the highest ceiling. If all of their “core” guys step up and play like they are capable, then his starting unit might be the best in the league. Donovan McNabb could put up big numbers. LT we all know is the best player in the NFL. Larry Johnson, while he is behind a suspect OL, will account for the majority of that team’s offense and has the potential to have some very big weeks. And Roy Williams and Wes Welker at WR form a great tandem. Throw in the potential of Vernon Davis and the reliability of Stephen Gostkowski to get points as a kicker, and you have the making of a potential dominant team.
So if I had to pick (and couldn’t pick my own team) today, who will win this league, my money would be on “Witness This.”
