Bartender I'll have another!

Show me a fantasy football addict with only one team and I’ll show you a drunk that knows when to say no. Face it, FF like any other addiction, is an itch that can never be fully scratched. So to compensate we join as many leagues as we can, which can get quite expensive if these are money leagues. So, as my girlfriend likes to ask, why is it necessary to have more than one team?

Multiple teams mean multiple drafts and after all drafting is half the fun of FF. No matter how experienced a fantasy player is, drafts are unpredictable. For this reason, it is always nice to hedge your bets by drafting more than one team. The more teams you have the more chances to win you have to win!

But, as with any addiction, there is a down side. Several teams means that you will spend several hours each day scouring the waiver wire, reading injury reports and scouting next weeks match-ups. Work, school and friends are placed on the back burner all so you can spend that extra-time selecting the perfect starters for each team.

Last, it can be confusing when you have to play your own players. For example, you have Larry Johnson on one team but in another league, you are playing the guy that has Johnson. And you thought rooting for players playing against your favorite team was tricky.
