Yay I won big bucks in my fantasy football league.
Here's how I did it.
It's week 5 of the football season.
A down on his luck scar has an underperforming squad. Eli Manning has been good, but not great. My week 5 opponent has qb issues and the best available qb on the waivers was Sam Bradford.
I scoop him up.
Another person, the guy who has Cam Newton is also in need of a qb, since cam was on a bye that week. He text me, "Give me Sam Bradford."
Cool. I like trading. I comb over his squad and try to find a suitable trade chip for the chipmunk. I respond, "Ok, how about for Jordan Matthews."
He replies pretty quickly with a, "Your crazy."
Ok. I thought. Maybe I was asking for too much, but before I can think of a different player to trade, he shoots me another trade saying, "How about for Cam Newton?"
Uh....deal?
I went 6 and 3 after that trade, barely squeaked into the playoffs with a 7n6 record and then won 3 more games to claim the master sword and 550 bucks!
Woooohooooo.
MVPs on my team were cam via trade, Julio with my 1st pick (pick 7), eric decker who was my great white hope, and Danny Woodhead as my late round sleeper.
Yay
