Who’s in on it this year? Let’s compare our teams, offer some strat, follow up on our first games. Anyone? GG?
Fantasy Football 2012!

I’d probably stick with Peyton, Bush remains a 2nd string back, and KC is going to run, even though I like the matchup against Indy better.

I went from 3 leagues to 1 this year. Won last year, tied my brother in regular season, tied in the championship game and won on tie breakers. My secret weapon was picking up CJ Spiller and playing him in a WR spot (he was marked as RB and WR for some reason) so I had 4 RBs and 1 WR.
Drafted 9th of 10 this year:
R1: MJD
R2: Matthew Stafford
R3: Victor Cruz
R4: Julio Jones
R5: Reggie Bush
R6: Johnathon Stewart
R7: Fred Davis
R8: Desean Jackson
R9: Texans D/ST
R10: Kevin Smith
R11: David Akers
R12: Matt Schaub
R13: Laurent Robinson
R14: Rashard Mendenhall
R15: Jets D/ST
R16: Davone Bess (wanted drop this pick on a promising rookie, but couldn’t find anything in the time allowed)Already have won my first game, score attached

Jermo, awesome! I’ll have to post some of my matchups after tomorrow evening.

Ugh….good to see all my D picks came through, but none of my receivers produced (especially when I have Nelson, Megatron, and Vincent Jackson) out there…and I lost Locker as my backup…it’s only a sep shoulder, but that’s going to put him down for a bit…
RG3 did what I thought he could do…good for him…I hope he continues to prove me right that he’ll be better than Luck…
I guess this weekend was the weekend of the INT…
-
Out of 8 leagues I’m in, I won 6. Jermo, this is a rematch of my league from last year. Obviously a blowout, but an interesting lineup nonetheless. I’m with Locker.

I’m the team with Tom Brady in the Yahoo league…
Loose Goose is mine.
-
Romo Cop
Brothel’s Burgers
-
Rice 'n Greens.
Life is a Brees.

So I guess 7 leagues, 5 wins. By far, Brothel Burgers is my favorite.

Is that a keeper league?
Also, it looks like the scoring for Kickers and Defense aren’t up to the rest of the team. Why even have them if they are so insignificant? -

I don’t know why she has the scoring that way, it’s a little odd. The scoring is posted below, you can see she decided to make QBs quite powerful. And, yes, there are several games where I’ve seen some players without kickers just so they can have that extra spot for a sleeper.

See…that’s just junked up. Your kicker and def combined barely outscored a guy who didn’t really play.
My own commissioner has some messed up scoring for D/ST as well. I don’t think in the history of football has a team been kept under 100 total yards, even before there wasn’t a forward pass. It’s just goofy…never going to happen.
As for kickers, I had Akers who had a record tying game, just simply fantastic game, and only scored 4 more points than my opponent, even with a 63 yard FG, and more FGs and XP.
Oh well, you’ve got to play with what you have. That’s why I invested a little bit more into WRs (I think I’ve got a good corps) because they added PPR on top of our normal scoring. I expect to trade one for a solid RB, even though I think my RBs are pretty good. I feel like my team is strong, especially for drafting 9th of 10. My next opponent looks like a cupcake and he drafted like 3rd or so.

Yeah, I’m learning to adjust to it, it took some time last year. Any thoughts on the week 1 wins? Particularly Washington over New Orleans?

I was one of the few that thought RG3 would end doing better than Luck. I like the roaming QB play style, and am not particularly surprised they beat NO, especially factoring in all the fallout from the bounty stuff. If I remember correctly, the Redskins were right around .500 last year, and I’d be willing to bet they are playoff contenders this year. Although, I hope my Cowboys are too…

Results for:
Hurt Locker (Jake Locker)
BullFrogger (Tom Brady)Trust me, I hate myself for not putting at least Tate in there. I wouldn’t have won, but it wouldn’t look so God awful. I don’t think Brandon Lafell’s rocket to stardom would have been predictable, but Tate was bound to bounce back…

Co-owned team, Whip Lash (Tom Brady)…
and my ESPN lineup starting with Loose Goose…
Great wins, I must say, I was surprised to pull off that win with Garcon out. I’m letting my co-owner, who hasn’t played fantasy, make the day-to-day changes, and his mishap didn’t cause any harm.
Loose Goose is gold… 4 starting RBs (Gore, Murray, Wells, K. Smith), and Stafford, Jordy and Floyd. I couldn’t ask for better. Well, I could trade for better I guess.

Romo Cop (Romo), and
Brothel Burgers…

Rice 'n Greens took a hard loss! Didn’t expect that, but Reggie decided to be a hero.
And finally, Life is a Brees, and it was a breeze! 2-0 here!
