Through Six Weeks...

We're six weeks in and there have been some beauty games. I have to admit that I haven't watched as much as some of you but I think for me, I find more enjoyment in the fantasy game than I do in the actual game. Weird I know, but it's true. I enjoy coming home from church on Sunday morning and seeing how close my match up is or how badly I am crushing my opponent or how badly Eli Manning is doing. Honestly with a name like Manning he should be good all the time!

Some have been very active in the free agent market and have had varying success with your strategies. Others have left their lineups alone. Whether that is on purpose or out of apathy I'm not sure but it has worked for some and not for others.

16 teams, each with a manager who has a style and strategy of their own. We still have a long way to go and so much can happen over the next few weeks that could turn out standings on their head. One injury to a key running back or a QB who hits the skids and starts to make decisions like Jason Campbell or a receiver who starts acting like Jerry Rice could change a teams fortunes in a single weekend.

For now though, here are our current standings.

Our friend from the West Coast the Victoria Vikings are in a three way tie with the superbly manages Big Punters and Fishfan (who have successfully implemented the heavy of the free agent strategy) for top slot.
Favre's Flip Flops, the Slayers, and worst to middle of the pack Super Bowl Kings sit at 4-2 with First Don and the Hot Tigers one game back at .500.
The lower half of the pool is in a log jam as Meanmachine, Bone Crusher, Soccerslack, Titans, The B Team, the Cold Lions, Pack Attack, and Al's All-Stars are working on moving up into playoff contention. Unfortunately for some it may be a rebuilding year, but you never know, crazier things have happened
