I have built my roster well from a smart draft (neglected a number 2 RB or a QB and went with WR's) and some opportune trading (like grabbing Gonzo after his owner gave up on him)
14 team league roster as of this past weekend
QB Kurt Warner, Josh McCown, Eli Manning
WR Chad Johnson, Terrell Owens, Steve Smith, Eric Moulds
RB LaDanian Tomlinson, Kevin Jones, Mike Anderson, Jerome Bettis
TE Tony Gonzalez
K Matt Stover
DEF Chicago
I also had Lamont Jordan and Willie Parker who have since been traded away for Eli Manning and Kevin Jones...ugh
A Couple of years ago we had an owner go 13-0. The funny thing is he ended up losing the last game of the regular season to the worst team in the league.
But I guess he got the last laugh, becuz he continued to win in the playoffs and finished 15-1.
I'm one of the lucky ones. 9-0 in a 12 teamer $$$ league. Also lead points by 147. Average margin of victory is around 43 points. It's usually in the 30s but in week 3 I beat this guy by 106 points. Great match-ups and his starters were on byes. As the cliche goes, "Any given Sunday."
ComeAtMeBro! - PPR QB: Stafford RB: Run DMC, SRidley, KMoreno, DMurray and BBrown WR: RWhite, DThomas, and CGivins TE: Hernandez and Gates K: Graham D/ST: Jets, DisChargers and 'Phins Start QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, Flex, K and D/ST
I'm 9-0 and in first place in points in a ten team league, but barely. I have:
* = Starters
QB: E. Manning*, D. Brees
WR: R. Moss*, H. Ward*, N. Burlson*, E. Wilford
RB: L. Johnson*, L. Jordan*, T. Bell, K. Jones, C. Brown
TE: T. Gonzalez*
K: N. Rackers*
DEF: Pitts*, Jax
I picked up Moss, McAllister, Owens, and K. Jones in the first four rounds of my draft. Seemed unbelievable at the time, but looking back it seems like a horrible early draft. In fact, only Brees, Moss, Jordan, Jones, and PIT remain on my team from the draft. Without stars, however, my team has won games in strange ways. Rackers has won a couple, I had a couple of big DEF weeks, I played Jones on his 2 TD day (and almost never before or since), and picked up Jurevicious and Curtis who lit it up for me when I needed them. Hopefully now Johnson can carry me for the rest of the season.

That makes me think this league is a joke.
Yup. This league is in it's first year and alot of guys didn't know what they were doing in the beginning. Given that, I feel like I should be in 1st (this is my weakest league, and I have my best record; makes sense). I am just suprised at the way it has happenned.
