Fantasy Football - Who Did You Draft?

[Packerjim2001]

I had my annual fantasy draft yesterday, and thought I would share my roster. I am in a 12 team league that allows trades. The past few years my team never had a productive running game, even 2 years ago when Larry Johnson was supposed to do BIG things. Picking 9th this year, I purposefully went for a strong passing game, knowing everyone else was going to go for RB's as first picks. Overall, I am pleased but we'll see what the season holds.

Here is my roster...

Manning, Peyton IND QB
Cassel, Matt KCC QB

Smith, Kevin DET RB
Bradshaw, Ahmad NYG RB
Lewis, Jamal CLE RB
Wells, Chris ARI RB

Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR
Owens, Terrell BUF WR
Gates, Antonio SDC TE
Curtis, Kevin PHI WR
Hixon, Domenik NYG WR

Gostkowski, Stephen NEP PK
Brown, Josh STL PK

Ravens, Baltimore BAL Def
Patriots, New England NEP Def

My only reall dissapointment... no Packers!

I am in a 12-man (3 player) keeper league. My players are:

QB Donovan McNabb PHI
QB Joe Flacco BAL
RB Julius Jones SEA
RB Maurice Jones-Drew JAX (keeper)
RB Darren Sproles SD
RB Chester Taylor MIN

WR Larry Fitzgerald ARI (keeper)
WR Anthony Gonzolez IND

I feel really good about my receivers, but I think I need another running back to go all the way!

I got a win this week 62-59...how'd you do Tim and Dave?

[TimCollier]

I lost 88-62....Indianapolis' offense struggled, and the Giants gave up two cheap touchdowns to the Skins, otherwise I would have had a shot. I did get rid of Jake Delhomme before the coach pulled him out of the game though!

[Packerjim2001]

I won 39-30, which for my league is good (the guy with Drew Brees scored 65 for comparison). I didn't get any points out of the Ravens "D", which is upsetting. Oh well, it's a win and only week 1.

[TimCollier]

Well, after losing my first two games I managed to win my first game this past weekend 105-63 (wouldn't you know it, the second week I scored 121, the second highest amount of points in the league, and lost to a guy who had Matt Schaub and Chris Johnson and scored 135!).

My lineup has changed a little, and with touchdowns earning the most points in the league's scoring setup, I'm on fire right now...my team has scored more points in three weeks than anyone else in the league!! What's funny is how many trade offers I'm getting this week....it's ridiculous!

My new lineup:

QB - Peyton Manning (IND)
RB - Tim Hightower (ARI)
WR - Steve Smith (NYG)
TE - Dallas Clark (IND)
RB/WR - Donald Driver (GB)

Bench Players:

RB - Glen Coffee (SF) ***starting this week with Gore's injury and Hightower on a bye week***
QB - Matthew Stafford (DET)
WR - Johnny Knox (CHI)
WR - Mike Sims-Walker (JAC)
TE - Visanthe Shiancoe (MIN)

Kicker: John Carney (NO)

Defense: New York Giants


Giants Defense is rocking right now, and of course Peyton Manning to Dallas Clark is putting up BIG points! The bench looks good for relieving players over the next few weeks when byes pop up...so this week I'm up against an undefeated team who's QB and RB are on a bye week...

How's everyone else doing?

[Packerjim2001]

My situation is interesting. Our league tracks wins and potential points (the most you could have scored). We are 3-0 at the top of the league in wins, but at the bottom in potential points. This is a very nerve wracking situation, because it's just a matter of time. It was good to finally get something decent out of Peyton Manning.

I just dropped Kevin Curtis and picked up Pierre Garcon. I am now keeping an eye out for a running back.

[Packerjim2001]

Had a close weekend, but still tied for 1st place at 5-0. I seem to have a very stable team through the byes so far - nothing weighted to much to one player. How did the rest of you do?

[Ron_Schuermann]

All 3 leagues I am in, I am 4-1 in all of them!!!!
