Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. With the 7th overall pick in the 1st round of my draft, I feel lucky about landing this running back. He scored 24 TDs in 2002, 21 of them rushing, and was considered one of the best players in all of Fantasy Football in 2002. Injury worries somewhat downgraded him for 2003, but his NFL team has started well this year, as the final undefeated team this year. Who is this running back?
2. My 2nd round pick was also a running back. His preseason rankings were varied, with both high points (his team traded their #2 WR to Atlanta, he rushed for over 1400 yards and 13 TDs in 2002) and low points (fumble concerns, and the team's 1st round draft pick was Willis McGahee) factoring in. Who is this running back from the AFC East?
3. With my 3rd round pick, I chose one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league. He had thrown for over 4,000 yards and 26 TD's every year for 4 years straight, 1999-2000-2001-2002, and with Marvin Harrison for a target, he is destined to succeed. His younger brother is currently the quarterback at Ole Miss, where his father played football. Who is this 2-Time Pro Bowler?
4. My 4th round pick, unlike his real life team, has done well so far this year. His team is behind Carolina and Tampa Bay in their division, and with a potentially potent offense, has floundered so far this year. At 3-5, the New Orleans Saints are looking more like the 'Aints of old than anything else. Name this 1st string WR, who was ranked as a Top 5 WR going into many preseason drafts.
5. In the 5th round, I chose another WR. His teammate, Torry Holt, was NFC Offensive Player of the Month of October, with 22 receptions for over 400 yards and 5 TD's. Sadly for fantasy owners, it was his teammate, not him, and he has only 1 receiving touchdown. Name this NFC West wide receiver.
6. In the 6th round, I drafted the 1st defense of the draft. It led many fantasy drafts to championships last year, and led themselves to a championship also. Of course, their championship was a little better, as it was the Super Bowl. Name the Super Bowl XXXVII winners.
7. For my 7th round, I chose a tight end. The "Holy Trinity" of tight ends (Tony Gonzalez, Jeremy Shockey, and Todd Heap) was gone, so I chose my 4th ranked TE. He is one of the most seasoned veterans in the game, and is playing for his original team again after 2 seasons and 1 Super Bowl ring in Baltimore. Name this TE receptions leader.
8. My 8th round pick was my 3rd WR. While he is usually not looked at in scoring leagues (1 TD in all of 2001, 5 in 2002), this Tampa Bay WR isn't a bad pick in yardage leagues. He is most famous for his pleas for the ball when he was in New York from 1996-99.
9. This "perenial Fantasy headache" was just that for my 9th pick. I chose this New England player as a backup, but I released him before the season started. Good idea, too, as he has lost the majority of play to Kevin Faulk. Name this offensive offenseman for the Pats.
10. This "sleeper" Seattle player has done well this season, with 478 yards and 4 TD's receiving for the Seahawks. He is not a running back, and his teammate was picked ahead of him in numerous drafts, despite the fact that he is ahead of his teammate on the depth chart. Name this 4th year player out of the University of Florida.
11. Another favorite sleeper of mine, this Denver player was considered to be a breakout pick this year. A WR from the University of Hawaii, he was a key player as a rookie last year.
12. My 12th round pick was a backup at TE, and has outperformed my original pick so far this season! (Lucky for me, there is a utility spot in my league to start both TE's.) Name the Atlanta TE, who has become one of the few strong points on a Falcon team struggling without Mike Vick.
13. I chose this running back as a backup, and it probably wasn't all that smart of a move. I picked him waiting for his teammate, Michael Pittman, to lose the starting job due to legal issues, and it never came to pass. Name this Tampa Bay running back, traded from Arizona to TB in the offseason.
14. This Atlanta WR was injured for most of the 1st half of the season and failed to produce. Name this wideout, another to suffer from the loss of Mike Vick.
15. My final pick was a kicker. His team has gone through tough exits from the playoffs the last few years, with the Super Bowl last year and the "Tuck Rule" game the year before that. Name this somewhat controversial draft pick for the NFL team that drafted him, but a perenial fantasy stud.
