TOP 10 FANTASY FOOTBALL ANNUAL TRADITIONS

by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool

Bought your first wildly premature football annual yet, in the hopes of somehow catching the rest of your league unaware about this Adrian Peterson person? You will... and when you do, you might recognize a few things from past years.

10. This is the year that Expected Starting Denver Running Back gets those carries, and in other news, Lucy is definitely not going to pull the football away

9. Just because the top-ranked placekicker in pre-season is never the top-ranked guy at the end of the year doesn't mean you can just pick one at random

8. Despite the fact that rookies rarely if ever make a huge impact, you really need to know about at least 40 guys at each skill position

7. The QB and WR who had the career year last year is obviously the top-ranked player at his position, because he's just going to do it again

6. Scheduling for your league's playoffs is critical, because we all know who will have a good defense fourteen weeks into the year

5. Last year's standout performer and awkward interview subject turns out to be -- what a coincidence! -- a big fan of fantasy football

4. The team that didn't make any major moves in the off-season clearly isn't serious about making their team better, because we all know that teams can only get better by constantly changing personnel

3. The players that were overly hyped last year have proven themselves to be morally inferior by not living up to expectations

2. The guy that won their big money tournament last year is puffy, white, and photographically regrettable

1. Despite the fact that it's mostly a crapshoot over which player gets hurt and when, you will somehow convince yourself that you can win just through your superior intellect and canny purchase... of the same magazine that just about everyone else in your league also bought
