Fantasy Football: How ya makin out?

[Doboji]

I'm in 4 leagues for money, and 1 for fun...

Of my money leagues... I've clinched a playoff spot in one, and am holding 1st, and 2nd place in the other two leagues. Including the "Official ATOT pro league" where I am still precariously hanging onto my 1st place spot.

The last of my money leagues is where the Madden curse is hammering me.... I'm 5-6 with my first overall pick, just now finally returning to the field... and I pretty much need a miracle to make the playoffs.

My primary league roster going into the playoffs looks like this:
(14 teams $100 buy in, $1 per transaction, QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,WR,TE,K,DEF
1pt for 25yards passing/10yards rushing/10yards recieving)

QB: Drew Brees
RB: Steven Jackson
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew
WR: Lee Evans
WR: L Coles
WR: Mark Clayton
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Shayne Graham
DEF: Dallas
QB2: Jamie Martin
RB3: Leon Washington
WR4: Derrick Mason
WR5: Eric Parker
WR6: Malcom Floyd (attempting to drop, and pick up Willis Mcgahee off waivers)

I was 5-5 in ALL 4 of my leagues last weekend (one 5-4-1). Not doing as well as I hoped, but I'm making out alright considering I drafted Alexander in 2 leagues.

 

[dbk]

Only in one league...7-4 clinched the 4th playoff spot this past weekend.

 

[A5]

I'm either 9-2 or 8-3 and winning my division (and 1st overall). Haven't had time to check this week's box score yet (stupid work blocking my FF)

 

[weirdichi]

LAST place in my money league, 3rd in fun (not bad for not being at the draft). McNabb has saved me numerous times because of my lack of RBs, but now I'll have to rely on Rivers or Garcia.

 

[Feldenak]

Clinched a playoff spot in all the leagues I'm participating in (no money leagues, I only play for fun)

 

[jlbenedict]

Two "for fun" leagues; currently 7-4 and 6-5. The league I'm 7-4 in: I started off 7-1 and have currently lost 3 straight.. ugh

 

[vi edit]

Sitting in first place currently. It's not a head to head, just a total point league.

Line is:

QB1: Drew "I throw a lot" Brees
QB2: Tony "I brought TO back to life" Romo
RB1: Larry "I gonna throw this team on my back and carry it" Johnson
RB2: Rudi "The other other" Johnson
RB3: Marion "JJ owners hate me" Barber
RB4: Brandon "Riki tiki owners hate me" Jacobs
WR1: Starvin for TD's Marvin Harrison
WR2: Reggie "McNabb'less" Brown
WR3: Lavernious "Ain't found the endone in months" Coles
WR4: Antonio "I found the endzone even less than Coles" Bryant
WR5: Pat Crayton
TE: Marques "I scared the poop out my owner's this weekend" Colson
TE2: Owen "I had one good game" Daniels
DEF1: Dullas
DEF2: Minnasoooota

I "lost" Lamont Jordan for the year, although I never played him this season so not a loss at all.

Colston going down hurts me bad. Very bad. Hopefully he's not out long.

I remember posting my squad when i was 6-0 and people were talking all this sh*t to me, guess what im still undefeated and 3rd overall in the league in points..
I can gurantee theres no other person on this forum thats undefeated in a money or free league.
This is for money

How is that site for FF? Foxsports has free live scoring, but the site iteself isn't even up to part with yahoo. Maybe I'll have to pay next year for a good site. Also, that league only has 1 WR to play and three RBs?

 

[honkee]

The site is great, payouts are awesome(one of the best on the net).
Keeper leagues and all that, im Going for the plasma tv, too bad ****** mcnabb had to get hurt.
SO im ****** now and wont get that #1 overall spot.

You can do 2 backs+ 2 recievers if u want as well

I have lost 3 weeks in a row, dropping from 1st to 4th place. My record is 7-4 now. Here's my current lineup after I had to drop LaMont Jordan:

QB Joey Harrington
WR Andre Johnson
WR Antonio Bryant
WR Greg Jennings
RB Ahman Green
RB Ronnie Brown
TE Marques Colston
W/T Chris Chambers
W/R Wali Lundy
W/R DeAngelo Williams
BN Lee Evans
BN Matt Jones
BN Randy Moss
BN Steve McNair
BN Reuben Droughns
BN David Garrard
BN Aaron Brooks
BN Justin Fargas
K Matt Stover
DEF Baltimore

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

1st place, 9-2 and two games ahead of second place. Of course the last two weeks I've just barely squeaked out wins. This week I won when Gerrard threw an incomplete pass and then kneeled down for the last two plays.

Irony - In my league the last place guy is #1 in points scored. Go figger.

:Q

Waivers must be empty. You have way too many benches in your league.

It's an 8 team league, so there's no shortage of FA.

 

[codeyf]

In a word, horrible. In both leagues I'm in.

League #1
Couple of my early season drops:
- TJ Houshyerdaddy
- Corey Dillon
- Phillip Rivers

Nevermind that I was deceived by my being a Seahawk fan. Scored the #1 pick in 1 league and was LT all the way...then I choked and was dazed by "my boy" Shawn Alexander....the guy that got LT? He's #1 in our league right now. I'm 7 of 8.

League #2
Drops (fortunately only 1):
- Drew Brees

I did trade Thomas Jones + TO for Clinton Portis + Chris Chambers 3 or 4 weeks ago. I ended up dropping both of the guys I got.


Bright side? I have Ocho Cinco in L2, and he's coming alive. In L1 someone took pity on my and traded Alexander for Westbrook. Either way, I'll be EXTREMELY lucky to make the playoffs in either league. I won the whole deal last year

 

[honkee]

Damn tough breaks codey.
Im excited for mine since this is my first year doing it and im undefeated but man ****** happens with this fantasy stuff

 

[spacejamz]

this is a rebuilding year for me . I am now officially jockeying for 1st place in next year's draft.

sitting at 3-8 right now...came in 2nd place last year...

 

[monk3y]

I'm 7-4 and playoff bound... but I've lost McNabb

 

[2Xtreme21]

7-4 as well. Lost 2 in a row dropping me from 1st to 3rd... and losing McNabb means I'm pretty much screwed for the rest of the year. My roster now:

QB1: Jake Delhomme*
QB2: Jon Kitna
RB1: Larry Johnson*
RB2: Steven Jackson*
RB3: Thomas Jones
WR1: Darrel Jackson*
WR2: Marvin Harrison*
WR3: Mike Furrey*
WR4: Reggie Williams
TE1: LJ Smith*
TE2: Owen Daniels
K: Robbie Gould*
Def: San Diego*

* = start.

I used to be guaranteed 20-25 points a week... now I have two extremely inconsistent QBs that I pretty much just have to make a stab in the dark as to who I want to start.

 

[imported_wicka]

I forgot I was in the league for the first four weeks and went 0-4. Since I then I've gone 6-1 (6-5 overall). I'm thus in 6th place, and the top 8 make playoffs. My two best running backs (Kevin Jones and DeShaun Foster) just got hurt; Jones is out next week and Foster is questionable. This week I am starting:

QB Jake Plummer
WR Chad Johnson
WR Muhsin Muhammad
WR Reggie Brown
RB Rudi Johnson
RB Deshaun Foster (or Tatum Bell if he's out)
TE Daniel Wilcox
W/T Reggie Brown (WR)
W/R Michael Jenkins (WR)
K Jay Feely
DEF Cincinnati

 

[GrimmRimmer]

Undefeated at 11-0 in my league. I had great luck with my draft (McNabb, Bears D, S. Smith, et al.) and picked up Colston off of waivers. McNabb and Colston going down will ruin me, though.

 

[Christobevii3]

I'm 8-3 and the guy i play this week had tony romo!!!

Darent williams though saved me at corner hopefully if the rest of my team does well.

Which qbs should i start, 2 of 3:
Tom Brady @ Chicago
Steve Mcnair @ Pittsburgh
Chad Pennington @ Houston?
