Tomorrow is my first (of two) fantasy football drafts. I know many of you have been clamoring for information involving my team and my strategy. Here's the first edition of a series I'm calling "Fantasy Football Aquamania." (Or, to some of you, especially those who loathe real football, let alone fantasy football, "Utter Nonsense to Ignore.")
This first entry shows you just how crazy fantasy football is -- You can now buy insurance on your players. If I were to draft, say, Julius Jones (shhh!), I could buy an insurance policy from Fantasy Player Protection for $14.95.
That would pay out $104.75 if he missed 12-15 games, $44.85 for 6-8 games, down to $14.95 for 3-5 games.
Essentially, you're gambling on whether people will get hurt. A novel (and rather morbid) concept. I don't think I'll be buying any insurance, but I'm impressed by the entrepreneurism of the idea. What a country.
