Only found the link 20 min before deadline. Went with Pats/Hawks SB. Picked 1 player each for Top 8 teams, then another player for Top 4, then loaded up for SB. Skipped the 4 teams I thought would lose this weekend (CIN, MIN, BAL, WAS). Went with lots of TEs as they have 1.5 ppr. May not...

I'm with you. Uniqueness won't help you win the contest, it only helps you survive the cut week to week.

There's 7 games where the dog has > 15% of the picks: Ten @ CLE(43%) | Can't pick CLE as an underdog until they have a decent win under their belts. PIT(43%)@HOU | It's hard to gauge PIT this year. giving the edge to the home team DET @ DAL(31%) | Expect DET to roll. WAS@STL(24%) |...

Thanks for starting this, I was looking for a thread like this. I'm with you in terms of strategy for pick 'em, you need to stay with the pack for the majority of the games. If I'm unsure, I usually go with the herd, just to keep pace. The league I'm in lists the % of the total aggregated...

When I trade I try to make my players bye weeks line up with when I'm playing that team, so the player they get is on their bench. Works out quite nicely. If you pull off a couple of these trades, you can flatten out your points against. atleast that's what I keep telling myself

For me I was having problems finding my entry after I created it and came back to the site. It took me a while to find my entry under My Account -> My Games. Maybe you could consider moving My Games to the Top level menu?

Thanks for the $5 Jene. Hope it didn't come out of your pocket. In for this weeks freeroll and am spending the $5 on a $22.50 5 team league.

My latest strategy is to team Peyton Manning with McNabb. This year Manning has a few things going for him in this contest: He won't have high ownership % because of his health status The Colts won't walk into the playoffs this year. You can bet he will be airing it out in weeks 14-16 to...

QB $40 (2) RB $90 (7) WR $77 (11) TE $27 (4) PK $8 (3) TD $8 (3) Going with 30 players. Pretty happy with my current team, I'm sure I'll change it 500 more times before the deadline. Spent some $ on a stud QB and two solid RBs. For WR|TE|PK|TD my strategy is just to pick a bunch of...

I'm starting Best with confidence this week in PPR over Mathews, Spiller, McGahee, Choice. In PPR format his floor is pretty high because he catches 5+ balls a game. I'm projected to win the week by 20 points, so I'm taking the sure points.

An owner in my 14 team $$ league got fed up with Ryan Mathews and dropped him for Manningham. Not your typical league since we're only required to start 1 RB, with 3 Flex spots.

It's been a good run this year, but I think my team is done week 5. Going to be taking a zero for QB (Henne, Stafford, Anderson). I have a small chance, since I put up over 200 last week and didn't even need my QB score... 101840

I'm one of the 272 entries who went with a roster 30 players. In a best ball format having more players is a bigger competitive advantage than having Studs. I just don't see how the entries with 18 teams even make it to the top 250. Hopefully we can put this argument to rest this year. Ok so...

Here's my latest team (30 players): 3QB @$36 7RB @$91 11WR @$81 3TE @$26 3K @$7 3TD @$9 I didn't want to spend that much money on RB, but it's harder to find value RBs that will start in some form every week. I wanted a consistent Stud WR to anchor one WR spot every week, but I couldn't...

The rant is more pre-emptive, if my team doesn't make the cut. This team's basically a dead-team walking.
