Anyone start out 3-0... (1 Viewer)

I inherited a keeper team in a 16-team league that had the worst record last year. My only goal for this year was to get younger, improve my keepers and make a run in '08, but shockingly I'm 3-0 even though I still think I'll be lucky to even make the playoffs much less do any damage.

QB: Delhomme, Losman, Culpepper

RB: A Peterson, D McAllister, K Jones, S Morris, B Jacobs, D Wynn

WR: Boldin, Housh, R White, James Jones, Jacoby Jones, B Jones

TE: Witten, M Lewis

K: Folk, Mare

DEF: Seahawks

Anyone else 3-0 but knows their team doesn't have a shot as currently constructed?

 
There is only one team in our league that is 3-0 and they are defintelty a fraud.
Players?
QB Carson Palmer RB Laurence Maroney RB Adrian Peterson® WR Anquan Boldin ARI WR Ronald Curry OAK TE Antonio Gates SD KC PK Nate Kaeding SD KC Def Vikings, Team Defense QB Jay Cutler DEN QB Tarvaris Jackson MINRB Brandon Jackson® RB Tatum Bell DET CHI WR Darrell Jackson SF WR Muhsin Muhammad CHI
 
I'm the only 3-0 team in my 12 team league and I'm a fraud. I'm 5th in CBSsportsline's power rankings despite the only 3-0 team. I've just been lucky on the 3 owners/matchups. My points against are 2nd lowest in the league. I've won 2 weeks in a row on a player I had in the Monday night game. If I just make the playoffs I'll be happy.

 
I'm 3-0 in one of JohnnyU's Dynasty leagues. I'd go with fraud on this one...

My core team...

QB: Brady, Romo, Garrard

RB: Portis, Jordan, Foster, Chris Brown, Betts

WR: D-Jax, Hines Ward, Berrian, Demetrius Williams, Toomer

TE: Witten, McMichael

K: Jeff Wilkins

Def: KC & Houston

Not really a fraud I don't think (3rd in pts and very consistent)...

But I do have 3 of the bigger early season busts...

SJax

Fitz

Bulger

thanks to CJ, Lamont Jordan late, and Peterson I'm still putting up nice points...

Hmmm, you're right, its not the greatest team ever, but its not horrible. Maroney has been getting consistent yardage (70+ a week first two weeks then 103 last week) and Palmer was going insane for a couple games, and Peterson has been very solid. Gates has been great, and the Vikings D, while not impressive, hasn't been awful. Boldin went off last week and Curry is a solid #2. I can definitely see that team going 3-0 against the right opponents.
 
Check team 2 in signature.

Already having problems at QB, and my running backs could all be knocked out before the end of the season. It's not so much a fraud as a fragile team.

 
I'm 3-0 in a local league with two of the wins coming by close margins. Last week McNabb boned up and gave me high of the week against one of the other 2-0 teams that has been red hot. I should 2-1 but still a contender.

Ten team league

QB McNabb, Eli

RB FWP,McGahee, Jacobs, C. Taylor, D. Foster

WR Roy Will, L. Coles, Reg. Brown, S. Holmes, Berrian

TE Heap

K Wilkins

D Eagles

By the way the Packers are for real. Very tough defense and offense is using the short passing game as a West coats offense does to replace the running game. Bears are not what everyone thinks they are and Packers have a good shot at winning the division this year.

 
12 team ppr

QB P Manning

RB Portis

RB Jordan

WR Owens

WR Houshmanzadeh

WR/TE Heap

My only backup RBs are the 3 headed GB monster.

I'm 3-0 and not sure if I would call my team a fraud.

Its the first year of a dynasty, keeper league, PPR, 2 Flex and QB's passing TD only worth 5pts

QB: Bulger, Schaub (Getting worried here)

RB: Alexander, FWP, Derrick Ward, Chris Brown, Leonard (picked Ward and C Brown up off of the Wires)

WR: Steve Smith, Houshmandzadeh, B Marshall, Roddy White, Reggie Brown ( picked up Marshall and White up off of the Wires and this week I am going to move R Brown hopefully)

TE: Owen Daniels, Greg Olsen (A bit young here but I can keep Olsen for 5 years at a starting salary of $1 and Daniels has been productive so far)

K: Neil Rackers, Mason Crosby

Def: New England & Denver

Again In my eyes a pretty solid team but I have had things go my way so far as well. Week 3 my opponent had TO and Berrian going on Mon Night and I was done and up 40 they scored 37 and I walked away with a 3 point victory. Week 2 I played the last place team and he started Brees instead of P Manning(theres a reason he's in last and 0-3 even with R. Moss) and week 1 I played against SJ who had a poor week and I squeaked out a Victory.

I'm still worried about Bulger but as long as my RBs and WRs keep producing at a high level I should be alright. All I need to do is make it into the playoffs which are the top 6 out of a 10 man league and from there anyone has a shot!! At 3-0 I think I would be hard pressed to not make the playoffs.

 
I have a 3-0 team. It's also been the high scorer every week.

12 Team league (.5 PPR for WR, 1 PPR for TE)

QB Smith, Campbell

RB Addai, Peterson, Barber, Leon W, Burner Turner, Kenton Keith

WR Roy, Calvin, Cotchery, Hackett, Jennings, Battle

TE Gates, Scaife

K Gostkowski

DEF Minne/Tenn

I think my poor QB's are eventually going to catch up with me, but I don't really have great depth to trade away one of my starting RB/WR.

Consistent scoring throughout my lineup. Everyone seems to be going 100 and a TD every game. No real big McNabb, kevin Curtis, Ronnie Brown games for me.

Gates has been amazing. It's my 1st year with him. 20+ points every game out of the TE slot is gold.

 
my Omega team:

Brees/Hasselbeck

Addai, MJD, JLewis / Duckett, A-Train

Boldin, Coles / Welker, Joe Horn, Williamson, Matt Jones

Winslow / Desmond Clark

Hanson

Pats D/Minn D

basically being carried by Addai, Boldin, Minn D at this point. no trades, so ... um ... I'm stuck. Will probably drop Duckett/Matt Jones for whatever fodder is on waiver wire.

 
I'm 4 - 2 (play doubleheaders)... this team can fall apart at ant moment.

My MVPs are Portis / D Ward / Engram (he is a great WW pick up since DJ went out) / Clark (Top 10 TE, remember that) Rackers / and all my IDPs.

Not that impressed with this team overall, figure I'll revert to the norm soon. Deuce's ACL doesn't help AT ALL.

EDIT: Auction league, 12 teams, .3PPR

12 team Dynasty PPR, 2nd year

QB: Favre, Jackson, Russell

RB: Westbrook, Jordan, Norwood, C Brown, S Young, Buckhalter

WR: Chambers, Marshall, D Jackson, Mason, McDonald, Bennett, Rice

TE: Shockey

DEF: Pittsburgh

K: Stover

LB: Morrison, Tatapu

DL: Matthis, Suggs

DB: Winfield, Bailey

It's pretty much the same starting lineup I had last year that went 8-5, only differnce is guys like Jordan & Chambers are finally performing. You look at the team and think who was the 2nd rounder? the 3rd? 4th? I expect them to come back down to earth soon...

 
I have to say, I may not be a fraud, but I'm extremely lucky to be 3-0

In no order, I received the following for my 3 wins...

- Near 50 pointer from Romo week 1

- Two consecutive 25-30 pointers from Minnesota

- Kevin Curtis week 3

- Faced SJax owner week 1

- Faced H. Ward & A. Johnson owner this weekend, he plugged in Jacoby Jones

- Dude also started McAllister last night

I might not be a fraud, maybe just extremely lucky. But I can honestly admit that there's a few better teams than me in my league with a worse record.
