Anyway, I’m going to skip the analysis for today. However, the good folks at FantasyDraft went through the effort of making a contest today so y’all should play it. Hopefully I’ll be better by tomorrow.

1.The Daily Grind Invitational

Of course my opportunity to gloat comes when I’m simply not feeling up to it. Last Friday, I scored the second highest point total of the season. It’s listed in the top right of the Leaderboard.

We appear to have a full 15-game slate for this evening’s no rake GPP on FantasyDraft. I might not be there. If you’re feeling generous, do a little Twitter recruitment on my behalf.
