All-Latino Fantasy Football Team

Not too hard to spot the signs of a fast-approaching NFL season: Madden arrives on store shelves; Brett Favre makes his umpteenth comeback; and fantasy football starts consuming the lives of guys across America. Yes, I participate in on of these leagues, and recently a friend presented me with an interesting challenge – draft a fantasy football team made up entirely of Latino players. I pulled off the same feat in my baseball league (currently in second to last place, thank you) but considering I actually have money on fantasy football, I respectfully declined. Still, drafting an all-Latino FFL squad remained intriguing enough for me to attempt on Internet paper.

So, I present “Los Novios de Model Latina” - your Scorecard fantasy football team (draft at your own risk):

Mark Sanchez

Position: Quarterback

2008 Stats: N/A

Rundown: IF he starts...will be one of the most interesting storylines to watch all season.

Chad Ochocinco

Position: Wide Receiver #1

2008 Stats: 53 Rec, 540 Yds, 4 TD

Rundown: Scorecard’s favorite honorary Latino bounces back from a sub-par ’08, you just watch.

Anthony Gonzalez

Position: Wide Receiver #2

2008 Stats: 57 Rec, 664 Yds, 4 TD

Rundown: He plays wide receiver on Peyton Manning’s team. Expect “The Other Tony Gonzalez” to get the ball some more with the exit of Marvin Harrison.

Greg Camarillo

Position: Wide Receiver #3

2008 Stats: 55 Rec, 613 Yds, 2 TD

Rundown: Injury cut short a promising ‘08 season in which he emerged as the Dolphins’ top pass catcher.

Knowshon Moreno

Position: Running Back #1

2008 Stats: N/A

Rundown: A bit of a gamble cause the heritage remains unconfirmed, but my buddy swears that the rookie RB belongs to Team Latino. I’m sold.

Justin Fargas

Position: Running Back #2

2008 Stats: 853 Yds, 1 TD

Rundown: The Puerto Rock speedster shares carries with a couple other talented running backs, but how can you not put Huggy Bear’s son on the squad?

Tony Gonzalez

Position: Tight End

2008 Stats: 96 Rec, 1058 Yds, 10 TD

Rundown: THE Tony Gonzalez will always make any all-Latino team as long as he’s in the league. Also, I expect big things from him in Atlanta.

Juaquin Iglesias

Position: W/R/T

2008 Stats: N/A

Rundown: Will he get the ball in Chicago? Sure, more importantly his name sounds like the winner of a Latin Grammy “Best New Artist” award.

Olindo Mare

Position: Kicker

2008 Stats: 24 FG, 30 PAT

Rundown: Cause he’s not one of the Grammatica brothers.
