For the first time in years, I have more than one fantasy football team. That’s twice the amount of players to follow and stress over. Twice the heartache during the season. Twice the payouts at the end of the year (hopefully).
In honor of Episode VII opening in December, I named my teams the Kashyyyk Wookies and the Tusken Raiders, respectively. I hope the Force is strong in all of my players’ knees and they bring me another championship trophy or two.
Both of my leagues were auction drafts, with slight differences in scoring, waiver wire pickups, etc. The Wookies are in a redraft league and the Raiders are part of a keeper league.
Here are the players I’ll be rooting for and/or cursing this year:
Kashyyyk Wookies:
QB Andrew Luck
RB Adrian Peterson
RB Duke Johnson
WR DeSean Jackson
WR Julian Edelman
TE Dwayne Allen
WR/RB/TE Keenan Allen
Bench: Sammy Watkins, Todd Gurley, Carson Palmer, Charles Sims, Ty Montgomery
Note: I haven’t paid over $1 for a K or DEF in years and have been streaming both positions before it was called streaming. Thus, I’ve left them off my list.
Tusken Raiders:
QB Drew Brees
RB Mark Ingram
RB Matt Forte
WR Jeremy Maclin
WR Vincent Jackson
TE Rob Gronkowski
WR/TE Keenan Allen
WR/RB John Brown
Bench: LeGarrette Blount, Ryan Mathews, Jordan Cameron, Brian Quick, Pierre Garcon, Carson Palmer, Marvin Jones, Ka’Deem Carey, and Knile Davis.
