I'm kind of in the same boat. More phone time. Also, I autodrafted and ended up with some really excellent players by random! But really, if you think there's skill in fantasy football, you are wrong. Unless you're in a league where there are TOO many choices (talking 8 or 10 person league, otherwise you just play whoever the fuck isn't injured).
Although, I do pay attention to more games now! I knew nothing about defenses before FF.
