First place teams

[stinky]

After an earlier thread about draft strategy I did a little comparison on the first place teams in the four leagues I play in and here are a few of the interesting things that I learned

All four have either Holt or Harrison (2 each)
All four have a #2 reciever in the top 10
Neither team has a top 3 rb
two of the teams dont have a top 10 rb
The top qb ranking for each team is 1, 6, 9, and 4
And here is the weird one- two of the teams have all of the following: Pittman, D Davis and D Jackson

Seems like taking a receiver early,qb in mid rounds, attention to the waiver wire(Davis) and good late round drafting (Jackson and Pittman) are the keys to success

Top Team in my league has:
Brooks
Jam Lewis
Ricky Williams
Holt
Coles
Jimmy Smith
Bubba Franks

Well, im 9-0 in my money league with this team and I don't even have a decent #1 wr. Having the top 2 rb's and QB help make up for it

S. McNair
P. Holmes, A. Green
P. Burress, J. Smith, Tai Streets, P. Warrick, D. Stollworth
R. McMichael,
M. Anderson
Chiefs

I'm in first, with Holt and Bulger leading the way. My RB's have been average, and I own Pittman.

1) Faulk
2) Taylor
3) Holt
4) Ward
5) Warner (grabbed Bulger)
6) Porter
7) Onterrio (grabbed Pittman)
8) O Gary (grabbed, Gordon, W Green yesterday)
9) Vick (Doug Johnson as a week 5 bye sub)
10 C Johnson
11) Longwell
12) Panther D
13) Raider D (grabbed Dolphin D)
14) Josh Brown
15) Nate Burleson (grabbed J Walker, A Boldin, P Price)

Price and Green were recent additions frustrated owners dropped, Green because of a Holmes/Green bye week dilemna.

Must have 2 QB, 4RB, 5WR/TE, 2D, 2K (no grabbing undrafted back-up QB's)

I think it would be more useful if we knew were they drafted, in addition to knowing who they have. Holt is performing like a #3 overall draft pick, so that helps things a LOT.

I'm the top team in a 12 man league, for now at least, and I have both Holmes and Ahman Green. I'm weak at WR, Def, and QB, but have Gonzo at TE.

I'm in first place in a money league with this lineup:

QB: Steve McNair
RB: Portis/Lewis/Bennett/James Jackson/Correll
WR: Holt/Moulds/Boldin/Warrick/Calico
TE: Todd Heap
K: Kasay
DEF: KC/Dallas

I'm 7-2, #2 has the same record but less points.

I'm in first place in a money league with the following core players that have not changed since the draft:

Cpep, Harrison, LT, Jamal Lewis

They're the only originals left from the draft.

I'm now 8-1 in a $$ league.

QB's: Pennington (Rd.3), Hasselbeck (Rd. 7), Bulger (Rd. 14)
RB's: Alexander (Rd.1), W. Green (Rd. 2), A. Thomas (Rd. 6), D. Foster (Rd. 15)
WR's: C. Johnson (Rd. 4), D. Boston (Rd. 6), D. Stallworth (Rd. 8), Conway (Rd. 9), A. Johnson (Rd. 11)
TE's: Shockey (Rd. 5), Crumpler (Rd. 12)
Def.: Panthers (Rd. 10), Rams (Rd. 16)
Kickers: Wilkens (Rd. 13), Carney (Rd. 17)

I lead the league in scoring, but will admit that I've gotten lucky a little. Why? Because the "Opponet's Points Against" me are below average. That tells me that I'm lucky. Other teams play their worst against my team. I just hope that I get lucky in the playoffs.

Good Luck Guys!
