    The 12 Most Frustrating Things About Playing Fantasy Football

    Fantasy Football is upon us, and while you may have that giddy night-before-Christmas feeling, let's not forget how frustrating it can get.

    1. Benching a player who ends up having a career-high game.

    2. Having to rely on one player to carry your team.

    3. Collecting money from your flaky league members.

    4. One of your star players gets injured (or arrested).

    5. Realizing you forgot to set your lineup and don’t have your phone.

    6. That league member who sends you 25 texts about a proposed trade.

    7. Joining the obligatory, expensive work league that you never win because you don’t care enough.

    8. Your league commissioner allowing a clearly unfair trade…

    9. Knowing your team is vastly outmatched this week.

    10. When the guy who auto-drafts and never sets his lineup ends up making the playoffs and you don’t.

    11. Being comfortably ahead in points when going to bed, waking up to see you’ve lost.

    12. Monitoring a player’s ‘questionable’ status up until kickoff.
