Will's (Wizard) Wednesday Week 1 - WHO IS ROB HOUSLER?!

GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS!!! GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS!?
If you answered “hump day” to either of those questions please remove yourself from my column immediately.

Welcome to Will’s (Wizard) Wednesday.

      Will’s Wednesday is a love story, a tragedy, and a comedy all tied together to the greatest standard league in all the land, The Captains League. Here we will discuss smart moves, bonehead moves, and mostly criticize those of lesser fantasy intelligence with sharp wit and cutting insults. Before I begin let it be known there will be no wizards in this column.

      As you all may know there is a rumor spreading about the league that Sean “Shaggy” Brown, owner of top projected team “What Would Jones Drew” and resident of Roswell, New Mexico has been seeking new running backs but is “too cheap to make reasonable trades” as stated by our own Nicky B in this weeks power rankings. I am here to tell you that these allegations brought against Sean are 100% factual as I am a first hand witness of such ridiculous acts.

      So there I was, lying in my bed wishing each of the players on my team goodnight with my ESPN Fantasy App open (as I do every night.) But as I was finishing up with a “Goodnight, Randy ‘GOAT’ Moss, sleep tight my sweet prince, you’re still #84 in my heart…” I received a very rude interruption, a text message from a Mr. Sean Brown, resident of Roswell, New Mexico. I opened this text only to see he had piqued an interest in my number two running back, a certain David Wilson, the starting running back for the New York Giants and quite the sleeper if I do say so myself. 

      So me, being the avid free-trade enthusiast I am, took a moment to let him make an offer for my prized, number two running back whose value has significantly increased due to his teammates injuries. To my utter awe this man has the audacity to offer me two of the most disgusting fantasy players I have ever seen firstly, Cordarelle Patterson, WR for the Minnesota Vikings who is fighting (and losing) for the number 3 or 4 wide receiver position. 

      The second player he offered me was none other than Rob Housler the QUESTIONABLE tight end for the Arizona Cardinals. Upon receiving this offer I merely replied “I’m sorry this line is for serious business inquiries only” and proceeded to get out of bed to vomit and laugh at the same time. This poses many questions, the first of which being "WHO IS ROB HOUSLER?" The second being "DOESN’T SEAN HAVE ANY SELF RESPECT?" And the third being "WHO IS ROB HOUSLER?" The moral of the story is when Sean Brown, or any resident of Roswell, New Mexico shows interest in one of your players, be careful because before you know it you could be trading a potential top fifteen running back for a number four receiver and an injured tight end who got all of 400 yards receiving and zero touchdowns last year. Rob Housler, you are the wizard of the week.

      In other news Dave Smith, owner of “Rank This,” a really desperately clever name he chose after being ranked dead last, is still ranked dead last. But the reason I wanted to mention Dave was his first round pick… sigh… Darren Sproles. Now, I would like to start by saying two things, first, this is a free league. You can pick whoever you would like, any round you like we will not stop you. And second, I personally like Darren Sproles. Do I like Darren Sproles enough to take him when top running backs such as Jamaal Charles and LeSean McCoy are on the board? Absolutely not, but I do like Darren Sproles, in fact I like him so much that I drafted him in my other league. Yes, I was drafting in a ten team league, (much like our own) filled with knowledgeable, experienced fantasy players (unlike our own) such as myself and I was able to take Sir Darren Sproles with the 50th overall pick. That’s right Dave, good pick, but you make have taken him over 40 picks in advance, that’s a BIT of a reach if you ask me.


Will Brown was the champion of the 2012 League with his stacked team “Come on Benjals” and is currently the owner of the 2013 championship team “Mosstradamus” AND is still the REIGNING, DEFENDING, CAPTAINS LEAGUE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD…. IIIIIIIITTTTS TIIIIIIIIIIIMMMEE
