Welcome to the first of the 2012 Freerolls, care of our friends at FanDuel.  This is where you get to throw your hat in the ring to win part of a $200 pool.  Not an actual pool, mind you.  Pools cost more than $200.  I don’t even think a kiddie pool would cost that much.  What were you thinking?  No, this is where you try your luck with FanDuel by clicking on this link to build the best football team for week 1 using a $60K salary cap.  First place gets $100, second gets $50, third gets $25 and fourth and fifth place get gift cards to Granny’s Buffet.  Ok, it’s probably not true but I didn’t read up on those prizes so I’ll just assume it’s $15 and $10, respectively.  But who cares?  It’s free money!  So since we’d feel really bad throwing you out to the FanDuel wolves without giving you some possible value plays, we’ve decided to take a look at the player’s pool and give you some possible bargains.  Again, not a real pool.  When will you learn?

So first off, I want to start you off with the bad news.  We have 16 leagues and – unless commenters are liar, liar pants on fires – they’re all full but for two or three spots as of this typing.  That means we still need to fill a few spots and make some leagues so that you all get your chance at RCL glory and when I say ‘we’ I mean the royal ‘we’ and it really means ‘you’.  Yes, we’re looking for some more commish-type people to stand up and create a league.  Don’t know how to make a league?  Well go back to our start of the 2012 Razzball Football Commenter Leagues and follow the instructions and get yourself set up as a league with us.  We promise we won’t bite…well, we’re no Marv Albert but if you ask nicely we just might for you.  But seriously, start a league; it’s a groovy thing to do.  Don’t worry about people not joining because it’s like Field of Dreams: if you make a league, Razzballers will come.

Hello Razzballers. We have made it through another regular season and somehow lived to tell the tale. It was touch and go there for a while though. Chris Johnson, Peyton Manning, Jamaal Charles, and quite a few others dashed our hopes against the fantasy rocks but some other beacons of hope floated out to save us in our time of need like Cam “Superman” Newton, Victor Cruz “Missile”, and Marshawn “Beast Mug” Lynch.

The Monday night game provided perhaps the most exciting finish to a FanDuel week so far.  With so many players having ridiculous performances many finishes were tight to the wire and seemingly insurmountable deficits were easily erased at the hands of guys named Cruz, Brees, and Graham.  This probably left quite a few of you getting your face stomped in (too soon?)  We’re closing in on the end of the season quickly with only 5 games left but there’s still a bevy of undervalued gems to be discovered.  Let’s get to work.
