Jaguars' MJD has Chiefs Cassel on his Fantasy Team

I'm currently playing in one of those leagues that has two quarterback spots on the roster. It's strange since I've never played in a league like that before. It's too much arena ball (Thanks, Herm) for me. Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew also plays in a fantasy league with two quarterbacks.
Except he's got a different problem - He may be able to only play one (link comes courtesy Patrick Allen).
"We play two quarterbacks," Jones-Drew said via ESPN, "I have Matt Cassel but I hope he does bad [in Jacksonville Sunday]. I might just play one quarterback."
A pretty clear conflict of interest but all in good fun.
(Unless he's in one of those leagues with enough money at stake to make it worth it to do something to help his digital team. That's unlikely, though.)
Cassel hasn't been a good fantasy start overall this season. Yeah, he had 250 yards and two touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys but that was only the second time in six games he had gone over 200 yards.
He may doing what he can to help the team, but he's not a fantasy stud (yet). Last season he started to gain some momentum in the second half of the season (albeit with a different team).
As far as fantasy goes, is it ever okay to cheer for your fantasy team over the Chiefs?

Over the Chiefs?
Never.
I do want my fantasy players to do well but only as long as it doesn’t hurt the Chiefs chances of winning.
Fantasy keeps me interested in keeping track of all the games and keeping up with other teams and NFL news in general.

No.
Fantasy league is just a game. The Chiefs game is, well……it’s…. a…. more than that.
I remember Dawson to Taylor, Kenney to Carson, and Blackledge catching the snap in his facemask. Seen it all...

I vehemently oppose...
supporting your fantasy team over your NFL team.
However, I have been known to ask for a little bit of goodness here and there from opposing players in games that were essentially in hand. I’m guilty of that much.

Root against the chiefs?
No, but I’m a realist.
Chiefs are struggling on defense and I’ve often picked up teams #2 reciever off the waiver wire in time for the Chiefs game which usually has been a good decision. I’m not this week though.

Doesn't MJD know
to use your head when setting your fantasy roster, not your heart

Your last 2 comments were
“Cassel is terrible” and “Cassel sucks”
Why don’t you go away for a while and let the adults have a conversation.

it looks like
mjd is a great rb and a bad fantasy manager and that kcchiefstd can spot talent, or like thereof

It's hard to take someone who has "std" in his username seriously.

ha...
I think it’s supposed to be Chiefs TD…. but, I could be wrong
* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season

legal position
what’s the NFL’s position on active players partaking in sports betting and fantasy football leagues? Is there an official position?

You tooke the characters from under my fingers
If he’s playing a league where the prize is a cool million it would open one hell of a can of worms.
10/19/09: The Chiefs are on their way to an 11-5 season...I think....
10/26/09: Okay, so it'll be 10-6, I can live with that...

Don't think they can bet
But they can play for fun.

I wonder
if LJ is playing fantasy football and he drafted himself…if so, do you think he has cut himself yet?

But, as always...
the league has no idea if players bet money or not, especially in fantasy leagues.

I wonder if he plays for money.
I think it would count at a form of gambling.

2 things
1) I am starting Cassel this week, im in a bad spot with QBs…
2) Remember the SD @ KC game last year? Yeah I was toally gonna lose that game except I had Phillip Rivers going…..so when KC did that “KC” thing they did, I benefited as River’s improbable last TD put me over the edge and gave me the W that week…..
Prediction: 2009 AFC West gets Emmy for best drama.

I understand
as ridiculous as it sounds..I have a 4 person league.
Story is..I created a league..sent out the invitations..forgot about it..and realized that only 3 others had joined. Apparently the other 4 didnt want to join because “yahoo doesnt have stat tracker” Well..that was wrong. Yahoo gave stat tracker for free this year. Finally. Normally id use cbssports or nfl.com, but yahoo is where my email is and its just convenient.
Well, when we had our draft, since we all knew we’d have stacked teams..we decided to make it interesting. We play 2 QB’s, 3 WR’s, 3 RB’s, 2 TE’s, 1 K and 2 DEF, and keep 8 players on the bench. And what a crazy year it has been.
Aside from that, i have 2 regular 10 man for-fun leagues and 2 money leagues.

Personally...
I don’t care if anybody cheers for another team because they have one of their players on their fantasy team.
That is… as long as they aren’t sitting next to me at the stadium. :-)
