Friday open thread: Will you be playing fantasy football this year?

Preseason football is kind of exciting for a little, having waited a long time to see the players back in action. The results are meaningless, though, and player performances are overly scrutinized beyond value. This could get annoying quickly... were it not for fantasy football.

Nothing speaks more to the absurdity of fantasy football than training camp tweets. Player A made a dazzling catch, Player B is working with the second unit, Player C just limped off the field — only fantasy can capture a whole nation’s attention during literal walkthroughs.

The next few weekends are the prime time for fantasy drafts.
