I took Marshawn Lynch in the first round his rookie year. I sucked so bad that year that I stopped playing for another 5.

    Zeke on his first down year, took him 3rd overall. Once Dak went down for the season and zeke started to suck I traded him for Chubb who was coming back from injury.

    Took me to the championship and then Kamara smacked me with 5 touchdowns and lost. 10/10 would do again.

    First year I did FFL (1997), ESPN didn’t do live drafts - -you had to rank players in each category (“NFC QBs,” “AFC WRs”) and had no say in which category you’d get first preference in. You’d just wake up one day and, boom, here’s your team.

    First drafted player I can remember drafting was Jamal Anderson 1999. Had 410 carries, was #2 RB the year before; injured quickly in 1999. But I drafted WRs Marvin Harrison and Jimmy Smith in rounds 3-4, grabbed FA QB Kurt Warner before week 1 (since my drafted Trent Green was injured), and … it all worked out.

    First year was in 2015, I autodrafted because I didnt understand you drafted players lol (I thought you were assigned a team randomly). I drafted Eli Manning, but made a trade before the first game for Cam Newton. I’ve never had such a cheat code at QB until then, carried me to the finals (but lost in the end, never made it to a final again to this day)

    Travis Kelce the last year Tyreek was there.

    He carried me to a championship, and since then I’ve managed everything I can to trade for him or draft him.

    My first ever season was 2015 and I knew nothing about fantasy football at that point. My notable picks were

    Andrew Luck in the first round (got hurt).

    Jeremy Hill in the second.

    Randall Cobb in the third (he fell off this year).

    Melvin Gordon in the fourth (a year too early).

    Brandin Cooks in the fifth (his best season).

    Allen Robinson in the ninth (huge year, amazing pick).

    Danny Woodhead in the sixteenth (his best season, what a sleeper, I felt like a genius).

    I ended up getting second to last place in the league, but obviously that didn’t deter me because 8 years later I’m a commissioner of a league 4 years strong and an addict. Still riding the high of Robinson and Woodhead.

    I don’t remember the year exactly, and honestly he might have been my #2, but the only player I remember from my first year was Gronk. Dude was guaranteed a TD almost every game. Been a fan of him ever since.

    My first 2 years of fantasy I drafted Aaron Rodgers with my first pick (2012 and 2014). Won the league both years.
