My team's 88 points leads all others in my league after week #1... beating my opponent 88-37... and I still have the Eagles D/ST to play tonight.

... next week though... I start Larry Johnson...

1-1. High score in my 12 man league, second from the bottom in my 8 man league.

I can't say that I planned it this way, but both of those results are pretty good for me. It's obvious why a win and a high score is good, but the low score might be good in the long run too. The loss doesn't do me any good, but the low score gives me the 2nd priority in the first free agent pickup opportunity of the season. In that 8 man league, we have 20 man rosters so the free agent pool is more depleted than it is in my 12 man league where we carry 11 man rosters. It's been my experience in the 8 man league that during the first week or two, there are always a couple of players that slipped through the draft that will be far more useful than most of the other remaining free agents. Furthermore, we have a fairly high percentage of our payout going to those who have the high score for the week with the weekly payout getting progressivly larger as the season goes on and subsequent free agent priorities are based on YTD scores. IOW, late season scoring/wins are more important than early season points/wins and free agent opportunities are generally better early in the season.

My first round choice was Culpepper.

Nuff said.

Won in 5 leagues

Lost in 3

But had I started Willie parker in 2 of my lossing leagues I would have won. AND had I started LJ ( instead of Arrington ) along with Priest in the other I would have won all 8 Leagues I'm in.
