Fantasy Football for Weather Fans

Hello everyone, I’m Storm Team 9 Chief Meteorologist Phillip Williams. That isn’t all. I’m also the commissioner of our channel 9 “On Your Side” fantasy football league. I have been for years and I have to brag a little. I have won our superbowl three times out of five trips to the superbowl.
Ok, enough patting myself on the back. Our draft night is tomorrow night and I need to get serious about who to pick. We don’t know our draft order until just before we start. Last yaer I was 8th out of 12. Yuk! I won year before last when I picked last. It’s great being able to get two players at once.
Guess what why team name is? Well, of course, it’s weather related. I’m “The Storm.“ If you remember back a few years ago we had a weekend meteorologist here named Ben Smith. Since he moved away, he adopted “The Storm” for his fantasy team name also. He is now a TV Meteorologist in Orlando, Florida.
Anyway, back to this years draft. Any good ideas for middle round players? In our league quarterbacks are worth than other positions, but running backs aren’t far behind. I had good fortune with Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson last year. I wanted Antonio Gates at tight end, but he was picked midway in the 6th round.
Take care everyone and good luck with your fantasy football drafts!
Phillip Williams aka The Storm
