The best deal is the one you do not make - Jason Campbell

     My finger was hovering over the submit button on my Yahoo Fantasy Football site. I was getting ready to lock in Jason Campbell for my starting QB for Buckwheat Luvin. The numbers looked good and I liked the matchups. A pathetic Rams team against an Washington team that needed to show that they knew where the endzone was located for the Redskins faithful. I had visions of touchdowns from Redskins receivers and interceptions from a fired up defense at home. I had started the Washington defense as well.

     I had a nagging feeling though. Kind of like the one I get when I want to make sure all the buckwheat pancakes in my stack are properly buttered. Something was not right. Would I really sit Drew Brees in favor of Campbell? Would I really doubt my NFL team, the New Orleans Saints, to start someone from the Redskins? You see I was worried about the 4 interceptions the Eagles defense had against the Panthers last week and was a little nervous about the Saints being on the road.

     I said the fantasy footballer's prayer looked at my numbers and put Brees back in as my starter. I had to do some stuff with my family so I was not near anything for the first hour of games yesterday, but when I got back I was estatic. Brees was hitting anything that moved and for some reason the Washington team as a whole let me and alot of other teams down.

     This happens often in life and fantasy football. Usually there is nothing more than bragging rights at stake in fantasy football; however the same holds true in both areas. Sometimes not making the commitment is the best choice you can make. Hopefully I can continue to have some luck and instinct during the year.
