Fantasy Football Player Fantasizes About Competitor's Team

Fantasy football player Stan Darmish of Peoria, Ill., woke up with his sheets drenched with sweat Wednesday morning after fantasizing about competitor Lester Finnegan's team. Darmish, who is currently in third place in the 14-person "Midwest's Best" league, describes Finnegan's roster as "near-perfect."

Darmish reports that he went to sleep Tuesday night feeling pretty good about his team. However, once he found himself in a deep slumber, his attention quickly turned to Finnegan's offense. "Images of Peyton Manning started swirling before me," reveals Darmish. "It was quite sensational." Darmish, who works at a big-box electronics store when not playing fantasy football, says he really got hot and bothered when Houston Texans running back Arian Foster appeared in his dream. "Next thing I know, Peyton is handing off the ball to Arian amidst a sea of flowers," recalls Darmish. "Honestly, it was a bit much for me to handle."

When reached for comment, Finnegan said he'll worry about Darmish when they face off in Week Seven. For now, Finnegan's concerned about upcoming opponent Fred Sterlingman. "Fred's got Aaron Rodgers and Darren McFadden on his squad," says Finnegan. "Even with Peyton Manning and Arian Foster, I got my work cut out for me."
