Halfway through Week 3 and my fantasy season is basically over

1. Best to know now so you don't spend a lot of money on undrafted replacement players.

Unfortunately some of the leagues that I've entered have owners who abandon their teams and won't even change their lineups later in the season if they start out shaky. It might be worth making some trades still, but I'm more pragmatic.

The first time I ever played fantasy football I was last team to qualify for the playoffs, but I won the league based on the three touchdown performance of Marvin Harrison in his rookie season for the Colts. I drove up from Austin to Dallas to collect the winnings and visit some friends which was fortunate since I lent part of the winnings to one of my friends so that he could bail his girlfriend out of jail. Fortunately my friend woke up from the nightmare that relationship became and it ended soon afterwards.
