This year I decided to just do 2 leagues with 1 being for fun and the other a little more serious (and more money). I'll keep you up to date with the serious 1 which is called "Dude Ranch" and has 12 teams.
My team is called "Drama Time" named in honor of the multiple emmy and oscar nominated actor Johnny "Drama" Chase (brother of Vincent Chase of Aquaman and Streets of Brooklyn fame.....).
We have 14 players on the roster with 9 active each week (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1D and 1Flex position (could be rb,wr or te). Here's my current roster:
Actives:
Drew Brees - qb
Edgerrin James - rb
Willis McGahee - rb
Hines Ward - wr
Donald Driver - wr
Donte Stallworth - Flex
Alge Crumpler - te
Neil Rackers - k
Da Bears - D
Reserves:
Ahman Green - rb
Isaac Bruce - wr
Jeff Wilkins - k
Trent Green - qb
Dallas Clark - te
Money - cost to play the league is $425 with additional costs along the way. A trade cost's $8, picking a player up from waivers or free agency cost's $2, moving a player from active to reserve (or vice versa if you will) cost's $2.
The winner of the league gets $2000 (2nd $1000, 3rd $500). If you win your division (league is split into 2 divisions) you win $250. If you have the most points in a week you win $25 and the most points for the season get's all the transaction money (which judging from the 1st week, could be a lot).
I'm happy with how the draft went. I drafted 9th and picked Edge with my 1st pick and McGahee with my 2nd (pick #14). If you have hopes of winning, you need rb's and I got 2 of the best. I was hoping Frank Gore would fall to me in the 3rd, but he got snapped up prior to me picking. I went Ward and Driver next and after that whoever I felt was best. To show you how valuable I consider QB's, I actually took a kicker (Racker) before taking Bree's in the 12th round. Who I really wanted for a QB was Kurt Warner, but someone else selected him in the 11th round.
Week #1 - Drama Time took on Cool Runnings with Drama Time winning the week 121-112. Those were the 2 highest point totals for the week and with the highest overall score bringing home the $25 "win" and taking over 1st place in my division. I got big performances from Donte Stallworth and Da Bears, with solid outings from Edge, McGahee, Driver, Ward and Rackers. I actually had started Trent Green at QB but he got knocked out early and wasn't much of a help to my dominating week 1 victory (only got me 2 points).
For week #2 Drama Time goes on the road to face the 1-0 Don't Know Shit About Football led by the top pick in the draft Larry Johnson. I'm tempted to sit out Ward and put Ahman Green in as I think he's going to have a big game (and Ward still is bothered by a hamstring problem). It'll be a game time decision which way I go.....
Prediction - Drama Time has another solid outing putting up 110 points to out distance DKSAF who only score 98.
Current Record - 1-0 and in 1st place
Money Out:
$427
Money In:
$25
Ciao,
Bill
