Success in fantasy football takes a lot of research. But I’ll be the first one to tell you that it can be all about luck at times.

Case in point: I made the postseason in seven of my 10 leagues, but the team I thought had the best shot at a championship — at least on paper – is going to get knocked out of the playoffs because of Broncos WR Brandon Marshall.

He set an NFL single-game record with 21 receptions and added 200 yards receiving with two touchdowns, scoring 53 fantasy points against me (yes, it’s a PPR league).

Why couldn’t I have played the team that had Patriots WR Randy Moss, who scored one point? Oh well – you win some, you lose some.

But man does it smart when you lose because of bad luck.
