    I have been a Pirates fan since I was a kid, and right now all I can say is… …WOW WHAT A JOKE.

    Just when you think you get lucky and make a good move… So I just had my Fantasy Basketball Draft last weekend.  10 team league, 3 keepers and 9 total players.  I have one guy I drafted that is listed as Out -  Antwan Jamison. After the draft I realize the guy shown above is still available (Anthony Randolph). I have been hearing some great stuff about him in the pre-season.  I know, I know, it’s just the pre-season. He really came on at the end of the season last year, and came into camp +20 lbs in muscle.  I like the sounds of that.  I am pretty pumped at this point. After the Draft I put in my claim for him, but I am 9 of 10 in the waiver order.  He cleared waivers in 4 days and I got him.  NICE. Then two days later he re-aggravates a bruised back injury earlier from camp, and has a suspicious unexplained knee injury, and they say it might affect his anticipated breakout season.    This may not be anything, its just that roller-coaster of Fantasy Ownership. I LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

    First try… lets start with the NY Giants run game.

    NY Giants have a great RB setup this year.  I think this two headed monster is better than last year.  This is all based on Ahmad Bradshaw.  I have been a Brandon Jacobs fan ever since the Giants got him.

    Unfortunately Jacobs doesn’t have the same POP that he did the last couple of years.  Remember seeing him DESTROY open field tacklers.  Shots that would make you stand up and WOOT with excitement.  Those fantasy GM’s that own Jacobs shouldn’t be too worried.  But what I am about to say might cause a little heartburn now, but I think will pay off when you are hitting that playoff stretch.

    Right now the Giants need to utilize the highly effective stash and dash running style of Bradshaw.  He tucks right in behind those big solid O-Lineman waits until the coast is clear and takes off.  This would be a good thing for Jacobs but maybe not his owners right away.

    Jacobs is a refrigerator on steroids, not saying that Jacobs takes steroids.  But due to said enormity he is good for only 12 maybe 13 games tops.  With Bradshaw running more now this will help keep Jacobs fresh into the second half of the season and your playoff push.  With fresh legs Jacobs will be destroying bruised & broken defenses. This will give you a solid starter when you are just praying that your battered fantasy offense can just put up their average.

    Lets hope the Giants just need run out the Hot Hand with Bradshaw. We all know Jacobs will get his, and will be crushing defenses in no time.
