Fantasy Footballers - How did you do in Week 1?
 

Thankfully I didn't draft Brady in any of my leagues. I'm 2-1 combined in my 3 leagues. Pretty happy so far about 'stealing' Michael Turner in the 7th round and Matt Forte in the 11th round in two of my leagues.

How did you guys do?

1-1 only because I didn't have the ball to start Desean Jackson in both of my leagues

I did really really bad.

I did excellent in my Big League.

Willie Parker and Jay Cutler got me huge points.

michael turner in the 7th round? matt forte in the 11th? who were you drafting with 7 year olds? lol.

i went 1 - 0. Only in 1 league this year.

No one league is my own league I've been running for about 7 years. It's a 10 team league so there are better or higher ranked players. The other two leagues are public leagues which does not say much..

i took the big bucks.

They went that late in my league as well. It is an 8 person league, so the depth on the teams is phenomenal.

As for my team, I didn't have the best collective effort, but I won and was happy overall. We're running with a PPR format this year, so it's a bit of a change.

- Hasselbeck disappointed.
- Portis looked impressive but couldn't get in the end zone (thanks to the weak ass passing of Campbell)
- Graham was on a time share, but still mustered up 90+ yards
- Mason didn't make the catches he did last year... Rookie QB needs to get his legs under him.
- Moss was impressive even with Brady out
- Cotchery was impressive with the Favre connection
- Roddy White wasn't as productive as I thought, but the blowout had a lot to do with it.
- Tony Gonzalez was a pass magnet as always.
- Pats D/st played strong as expected.
- Shane Graham..Horrible output

--------------
Bench
- Reggie Bush looked amazing! He won't be on the bench this week.
- Jamal Lewis didn't seem to have the hamstring probs. I'll bring him out again in week 3.
- Bulger was dropped.
- Bruce was dropped.
- Giants D is in this week.
- Eli is in this week.
- Miller is Benched

Not bad Sherm...I think your team will come around.

Here is my best team:

QBs: Rothlisberger/Warner
RBs: Turner, Larry Johnson, Frank Gore, Matt Forte
WRs: Fitzgerald, Jennings, Crayton, Roddy White, David Patten
TEs: Antonio Gates
K: Phil Dawson
Def: Seattle

I changed my strat this year, drafted RB's in the first 2 rounds (LJ and Gore) then went for WR in the 3rd (Fitzgerald), picked up Gates in the 4th and went for a QB in the 5th. Usually I go for a top tier QB in the 3rd round. The point differential (unless your have a year like Brady did last year) between say someone like Peyton Manning or Romo and a 5th round QB like Rothlisberger is about 3-5 points a week based on last year's stats.

Very nice! You managed to get 2 great sleepers in Forte and Turner! Crayton is also looking very good!

Being as we were PPR, I went with Moss first round, and followed with a mix of running backs that get a lot of passes their way (along with goalline opps of course), and receivers who see a lot of targets.

So far I am pretty happy, but I have some tweaking to do. I have some waiver work that will clear in 40 minutes. I'm aiming for Randel El and either Delhomme or Rivers. Hasselbeck will be a disappointment this year and Eli's schedule is too daunting to expect much from him consistently.

If anybody wants to get a last minute ESPN league together for a small buy in, I'm game! We have until the 20th to put teams together. :2 cents:
