BOOYEAH!!
10 Team league with buddies from high school. I always seem to get one of the last 2-3 picks in any league im in, and in this one I picked 10th, yes last, had the 3rd best record at 8-5 in the league (missed bye by a game) and went on to win 3 in a row in the playoffs because I had and have had the whole season the secret ingredient to FF success: CONSISTENCY
Start: QB, 2RB, 2WR,RB/WR flex, TE, K, LB/DL, DB, DEF flex
Scoring: 4/passTD, 6/rush-recTD, 1/60ydspass, 1/40tdsrush, -2/int, -1/fumb, +2/100yds r/r or 300pass, .5/tkl, 3/sack, 1/PD, 2/FF, 1/FR
Key picks:
#10 - Rudi - would've taken him at 5 if I was picking there but got lucky he slipped to me with value
#11 - RBrown - expected better things, esp. in TD category, but solid while healthy
#30 - Wayne - liked for his consistency, clearly best on board
#31 - Burress - felt solid w/ current RB's and wanted another consistent, TD-getting WR I could count on
#50 - Gore - one of targeted RBs whole draft, thought he'd slip to this pick and got lucky that he did (best
move of draft)
#70 - RoyW - thought this was another steal, huge for me in middle of season, didn't start for me last 4-5
weeks of it though
#90 - JTaylor - IDP's didn't really start going until round 8-9 (this was first year most of us did an IDP
league) and looks like I got the deserving defensive MVP
#110 - AdrianWilson - since fist yr IDP, this guy def slipped through the cracks as I thought he would and
grabbed him with joy
Key WW move: No doubt picking up MB3 after week 4. Saw he seemed to be getting GL carries, liked their offensive ability to get it to red zone, and MBell wasn't doing jack. Certainly wasn't expecting even 10 TDs. great surprise, great pickup. Honorable mentions: Rivers, VY, Gould
Achilles: Def QB play. I almost drafted Bulger instead of Roeth in the 10th round, but the homer in me took Roeth. Had I taken Bulger, I would have cruised through the year. Sucked even more because 5 minutes after this choice I went back and forth b/n, I hear on the news in the other room he just had surgery
Key to winning: WR consistency. RB consistency is one thing, but WR is usually much less consistent. Usually it;s only those Top 5 or so that can produce like that, but Wayne and Plax were strong nearly week in-week out the last 10 weeks of the season. I played the whole year with only them and RoyW and that was big because it allowed me to carry more QB's (my weakness) and make more moves to boost my team elsewhere.
Keys to not winning: Injuries. Biggest injury was to Brown, and didn't really hurt me at all because of who else I had. Big reason why I won.
Current team is in signature. If you don't believe the hype, then I wil gladly leave a link
Needless to say, Im 200$ richer (which is a lot for an astute collegian like myself) and should help me out with bar tabs over the holdays and break, and hopefully longer!
Also won another league with this squad in an 82-80 squeaker this week:
QB: Vick, VY (almost lost after starting Vick

)
RB: Rudi, FWP, MJD, Chester
WR: Wayne, Berrian, Henry, RMoss
TE: Davis (right now at least)
K: Gould
DEF: KC (shark move pretty much won it for me this time

)
But my main league is what I'm most ecstatic about because now for the next 2 weeks especially, and next 9 months overall, my homeboys will be eating crow as I remind them who won the league this year. Even better than the $$$
