So ... how is your fantasy team doing?

[Mile High Mania]

Aside from AFCW talk... how is everyone doing in their fantasy leagues?

I'm 8-4 in one league and 9-3 in the other and oddly enough, I am still going down to the wire to decide whether or not I win either division.

I'm assured a playoff spot in my 9-3 league, but there's no room for error in my 8-4 league. Tied with another team at 8-4 and another team trails me by 1 game, and he has a better divisional record. So, every game has been a "playoff" game essentially the last 3 weeks. And that is mentally taxing...

My 8-4 team is: (10 team league)

QB: Manning / Delhomme
RB: C Martin/ Reuben Droughns / M Faulk / S Jackson / L Jordan
WR: Mushin / Joe Horn / Derreck Mason / Nate Burleson / Dallas Clark / Todd Pinkston
K: Vinitieri / Stover
DEF: Seattle

My 9-3 team is: (12 team league)

QB: Brady / Delhomme / Rattay
RB: McAllister / Pittman / T Jones / L Jordan / W Green
WR: Javon Walker / R Wayne / J Horn / H Ward / M Clayton / E Johnson
K: Longwell / Jeff Reed
DEF: Seattle

I'm set up nicely in both, but you never know what will happen when the fantasy playoffs roll around. The wrong matchup could sink you.

How are you guys doing?

Which legue? I am in too damn many! I think next year my limit is two. It got to the point where I am cheering both for and against every player in the freakin NFL!

I have Trent too but have used Plummer in most of my games.

now................who thinks this looks like a 1-10 team in a pay league?

Started out with Jimmy Smith and Alge Crumpler, but had to make moves because I was killed at RB for drafting Michael Bennet.

[Nzoner]

I started 4-1 but thanks to the loss of Moss,Chris Brown & Thomas Jones I went on a 1-5 spiral.Bounced back this weekend finally scoring over 100 only to play against the guy who had Marvin Harrison and Rudi Johnson,so now with Favre's first td tonight I'll lose again to be at 5-7.

Fortunately our league only has 4 teams of 12 above .500 and our play-offs of the top 6 teams don't start until the NFL play-offs start so I've got 5 weeks to at least try and get in the post-season.

[shakesthecat]

Currently 6th out of 13, 145 points out of 1st.
A lead like that can be wiped out in 2 weeks, so I still have a shot if McNair can stay healthy the rest of the way.

But considering the scrubs I've had at RB all year, I'll be happy just to finish in the $.

Team 1: 6th Place out of 12 teams

That is frustrating ... I see two common players that have caused frustratoins for most owners that I've talked to and that is Hasselbeck and Marcus Robinson.

[The Bad Guy]

I'm in 4 leagues.

In the "expert league" I'm in with other fantasy writers, I'm 7-4-1 and in 2nd place in my division.

Here's my team: Manning, McGahee, Portis, Horn, D Jax, Boldin, Bennett, D. Hall, Vinatieri, Dilger

In a team I split with my friend, we are going to be 9-3 and have a 2 game lead on the 2nd place team.

(start 2 QBs) Manning, Roethlisberger, Alexander, Blaylock, Thomas Jones, Holt, S. Moss, Boldin, Driver, Wiggins, McMichael, Steelers

In the league I run, I'm 8-4 and in first in my division. I win next week, I get the bye.

Team: Brees, Holmes, C. Martin, Blaylock, Owens, Moulds, Driver, Givens, Gonzalez, Keyshawn

In a friend's league, I'm 8-4 and if I win next week I get the bye.

Team: Bulger, Tomlinson, Thomas Jones, Chad Johnson, Moulds, Wiggins, Akers, Ravens.

There are some pretty sweet teams listed on this thread. I'm hoping that Driver and Bruce pretty much do nothing more than 1 more TD between than and that should advance me to the playoffs with my 8-4 team, despite what happens next week.

It's been a wild year ... lots of mid/late round picks really stepping up.

[ChiefsCountry]

My team this week:
QB Drew Brees
RB Tiki Barber
RB Marshall Faulk
WR Issac Bruce
WR Reggie Wayne
WR Larry Fitzgerald
TE Tony Gonzalez
K Jeff Reed
DEF Denver

Backups
QB Matt Hasselback
QB Eli Manning
RB Lee Suggs
RB Priest Holmes
WR Plaxico Burress
DEF Tennessee

Right now I'm 7-3-1, on my way to 8-3-1 thanks to Issac Bruce and Marshall Faulk's touchdowns tonight. Currently sitting 2nd in my league.

I'm in a keeper league and Stephen Jackson is starting to look like a good 11th round pick...
