Editor’s note: Nate Jackson, a San Jose native, spent six seasons in the NFL. This his first weekly fantasy football column for the Bay Area News Group. His books include “Slow Getting Up” and “Fantasy Man.”
Maybe you don’t play fantasy football. Maybe you do but have the good sense to root harder for your favorite NFL team. Maybe you’re an insufferable boob whose entire life is wrapped up in his make-believe roster.
There will be something here for all three of you.
I played actual football, including in the NFL from 2003-08.
