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

Week 1 Is Upon Us

The teams are drafted and games start in just a few hours. If you're like me you probably had a few of those "who the heck is that guy?" moments. Hopefully I'm not alone in that one. Anyway not to fear, you can make trades, claim players off of waivers or pickup undrafted players throughout the week.

A few little side notes as we go into the real deal. Each week is a head to head match up. Points are given out for each position and bonus points for major milestones reached by an individual player. You can check out all the scoring details under the League tab on the yahoo site.

Week 1 sees some pretty high octane match ups

Favre's Filp Flops v. Titans
Hot Tigers v. Cold Lions (totally random first week match up but that's AWESOME!)
Slayers v. Bone Crushers
First Don v. Soccerslack
Mean Machine v. Victoria Vikings
Superbowl Kings v. Fish Fan ( the kings may need a little help with Matt Stafford starting QB)
The B Team v. Pack Attack
The Big Punters v. Al's All Stars


Should be an epic first weekend.
