My Portfolio

Written by

Published on March 28, 2011

Five of my six drafts are in the books, so my fantasy portfolio is nearly complete. As usual, I've targeted the same players in multiple leagues which means two things: fewer rooting conflicts and truer outcomes. What I mean by the latter is either I'll win because I picked the right guys, or I won't. If you have six leagues, and you roster all different players, you almost can't help lucking into a win just because you have an investment in every possible scenario. And at the same time, there's almost no way all your teams will do well. But this year, I have a chance if five or six players pan out. Here are my various rosters:
