A shared passion of Seattle sports and spicy hot takes has led us to put our knowledge to the test. Sodo Mojo has challenged bloggers from various Seattle sports outlets and its readers to participate in the first ever “Bloggers of Seattle” fantasy football league.

Participants representing Sodo Mojo, Lookout Landing, and 12th Man Rising have come together to form a 12-man, point-per-reception league. While a specific pot is still yet to be decided upon, the league’s champion will donate their winnings to the charity of a Seattle sports figure.

Even if you did not fill one of “reader” spots in the league, we still want to keep our readers into the loop and create something fun for you guys to follow. Every week, we will keep you posted with updates on the league.

Tonight, during the Mariners’ impressive 7-1 victory of the A’s, we held our league’s draft. 192 picks later, the rosters are set and our teams are heading into next weekend with championship aspirations.

Sodo Mojo reader Jim Daleske led the night off with the first pick the draft, selecting Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell. Here’s how the full first round shaped up:

1. Team Daleske (Jim Daleske) – RB Le’Veon Bell, Pittsburgh Steelers
