A guy in my fantasy football league loves to draft Green Bay Packers. I don’t think it would be a stretch to say he’s drafted Randal Cobb more times than Randal Cobb has drafted himself. And honestly, it’s not a horrible way to experience fantasy.
Make no mistake; it is not a winning formula. In the past decade, he’s finished in the top three positions four times and in the bottom three a total of five times, so we’ll call it feast-or-famine at best. But he gets to cheer for the same players in pretend football as he does in real football, and there has to be something cathartic about that.
