Since he asked and my apologies for the late reply. Shame on me for not responding in a timely fashion to my first random commenter!!!!
I am in a 12-team league with some co-workers (private league). The point system works like so:
1 point per: 10 yds rushing, 10 yds receiving, 25 yds passing, extra point, tackle.
3 points per: Field Goal, recovered fumble, and sack
-3 points per: fumble lost, interception thrown
6 points per touchdown
Without further ado, I now present your 3-1 Sith Taters:
At QB, Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck, with Miami’s Gus Frerotte backing him up.
Runningback corps: Stephen Davis (CAR), Thomas Jones (CHI), Deuce McCallister (NO) with Tatum Bell (DEN) and Cedric Benson (CHI) as backups (I thought Benson might take over for Jones, but Jones’ been darn hot lately)
Wide Receivers: Donald Driver (GB), Keyshawn Johnson (DAL), Keenan McCardell (SD) and Travis Taylor (MIN) as flex
Tight Ends: Bubba Franks (GB) – when he’s healthy, and Erron Kinney (TEN) to backfill
Kicker: Paul Edinger (MIN) and I just picked up Todd Peterson (ATL) to backfill Paul’s bye this week.
Defensive Back: Ronde Barber (TB) and Troy Paolamalu (PIT) depending on who has the better matchup
Linebacker: Brian Urlacher (CHI) with Julian Peterson (SF) for bye week insurance (although I should be able to drop him this week)
Defensive Lineman: John Abraham (NYJ)
I have had some good matchups with some sleeper players. Especially considering the slow start the Manning brothers and Daunte Culpepper got.
I just got my first lost in week 4 as some of my studs were injured (Franks and I thought Driver) or on bye (Jones, Urlacher, Polamalu)
I was on the top of the league at 3-0 with the most points, but this week I and the only other undefeated team both lost. We play each other this week so I should be able to put some distance between us.
I couldn’t imagine managing 5 teams at once like he does though! Sheesh, I spend enough time on cbssportsline as it is!
However, maybe next year we can get a blogger’s fantasy football league together… what do you think?
Anyone else interested? Let me know!
Randomness is what makes the ‘net fun. Found your blog through a technorati.com keyword search on fatasy football. My favorite team is one where I went against the grain during drafting. Instead of drafting RB’s first like most people, I went with wide receivers and still ended up with some decent running backs. It’s a yahoo fantasy team with default scoring settings and 10 teams, but the roster consists of:
QB: Bulger/Collins
WR: Holt/Chad Johnson/Randy Moss
RB: Willie Parker, Jamal Lewis, Rudi Johnson (2 depending on matchup)
TE: LJ Smith
K: Rackers
DEF: Philly
I’m second in the league in points, but am only 2-2 due to some untimely matchups, but I still foresee this team finishing strong. I enjoyed picking up elite recievers while everyone else was still drafting second string running backs.
Take care.
Curtis, my fiance, has his own fantasy football team with his co-workers. I think he is The Peter Griffins.
