Fantasy Football Diary: Week 2

Yesterday, I had some potential waiver wire acquisitions at wide receiver and tight end, brought to you by my colleague, Greg Boyce. This morning I have something a little different for you.

Each week, I am previewing my matchup in the Fantasy Island Football League by allowing my opponent to take over my blog and post a little something about himself (or herself). Coming off a Week 1 blowout win, I'm looking to improve to 2-0 against Greg M. (a.k.a @News_Junkie8008).

Greg was on his honeymoon last week, so I won't hold the fact that he started an inactive Arian Foster against him. He was probably preoccupied. That move didn't help, obviously, as Greg fell to 0-1. Despite the loss, he was still able to put up a good amount of points, so I should have my hands full - especially if Foster plays.

What is interesting is how much stock we have in Sunday night's Eagles-Falcons game. I have Michael Turner and Michael Vick playing, while Greg will start Matt Ryan. This game could come down to the wire. I just hope I don't find myself rooting for a late Turner touchdown.

Anyway, here is a little more about Greg, and his fantasy football strategy:

Team: @news_junkie8008
Name: Greg M.
Age: 26
From: Delco
Occupation: Law clerk and soon to be lawyer (waiting on bar results)
Marital Status: Recently married
Hobbies: Twitter, pick-up/intramural sports, craft beer, watching netflix 

Strategy/Experience: My strategy typically has always been to get a strong RB and a strong WR and wait for a QB. After that you play the matchups and stay vigilant on the waiver wire and hope you got lucky with a late pick or a claim on the waiver wire. I have been playing fantasy for a few years and have had more successes than failures in my football and baseball leagues and I hope that continues into this league even though last week my team was a mess.
