Bush League - Midseason Report

by Andrew Mishler


At the midway point of the season, Morgan Dollar stands atop the Bush League with
a 6-2 record. He got there with the help of a few established fantasy stars as well as
a few fantasy sleepers heading into the season. Tom Brady and Arian Foster are the
obvious leaders of his team, but other players on his team like Ahmad Bradshaw,
Danny Woodhead and Mike Williams have produced beyond anyone’s expectations.
In addition, he’ll have Vincent Jackson back from suspension for the last fourth of
the season, which should improve an already powerhouse team enough to be taken
a serious championship contender.

Behind him sits four teams at 5-3. Out of that grouping, NY Mazmaniacs appears to
have the most firepower to continue to build on his winning record. He has a stable
of good to great WRs in Hakeem Nicks, Pierre Garcon, Steve Smith of the Panthers,
Jeremy Maclin and Lance Moore to go along with workhouse backs in Steven
Jackson and LaDainian Tomlinson. His quarterback, Peyton Manning, isn’t too bad
either. Balance appears to be a theme of his team, which should lead to plenty of
wins during the rest of the season.

As for the rest of the members of the league with a record of 4-4 and lower, Sticks
(3-5) is an owner who could be on the verge of a comeback. The recent emergence
of Darren McFadden as well Todd Haley’s decision to finally give Jamaal Charles a
greater amount of carries has boosted the stock of both players for the remainder
of the season. He also will have DeSean Jackson back from injury, which would only
add to already stacked receiving corps in Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and Percy
Harvin. With 3-5 record, he’ll have a tough climb from here, but he does have the
players to do it.
