Owner of the Week

Don Wolfe, 27, of Rochester is insider's fantasy football owner of the week. His team, Rochacha Jets, scored 154 points, thanks to 345 yards passing and five touchdowns by Dallas quarterback Tony Romo and 183 yards receiving and one touchdown by New England's Randy Moss.
"Romo in the seventh round is going to be this year's best value pick in our draft," Wolfe says. "As for Moss, I know that I can't count on those numbers each week as (New England quarterback Tom) Brady does spread the ball around well, but I do think he (Moss) is good for at least 60 to 70 yards and one touchdown a week."
Wolfe also has LaDainian Tomlinson, Edgerrin James and Calvin Johnson on his roster, but he points out that it only takes one injury to "destroy" a good fantasy team.
"The rest of the league had better watch out, because if my team doesn't sustain an injury I will be taking the title," he says. "Just look at my score for the first week, and that was with LT (Tomlinson) have having a bad game by his standards."

Don's fantasy advice:
"The only thing that I do every week is check the free-agent wire and see if there are any surprises that may help my team based on situations," he says.
"As for setting my lineup each week, I just keep an eye on the injuries to my players as well as the injuries to the opponents of my players as that may have an effect on the match-up. Then I just start whoever I think has the most favorable match-ups for the week."

I'm Todd and I do some of the behind-the-scenes work at insider, from reading stories and designing pages to working the calendars, posting stuff online and being a general pain in the ass to my co-workers. And no, I don't sell ads or bring coffee to my boss.

I grew up in Irondequoit, graduated from Eastridge High School, and now live in the city. I'm a huge fan of the Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees and Marquette University, where I graduated from college and learned about the Milwaukee Brewers, the Bucks, Al McGuire, SummerFest, Happy Days, Jeffrey Dahmer, among other things. I've run a half-marathon, finished a triathlon and play I softball at Cobbs Hill. I've also been to countless baseball, football and basketball games (some of which I referee).

I started an insider fantasy football league to play fantasy sports at work without getting into trouble. Please don't tell the boss. :)

If you disagree with me about anything I write, that's good. And if you agree, you're probably in the minority. Float me a note in the comment section, e-mail me at Todd's e-mail, or call 258-9883.

Peace.
