Best week of the Year so far. Moved from 293 up to 289. One week at a Time, would have 12 more Points if "Action Points" were used. :D
Eddie Royal is killing me! At least he's on a bye week this week.

The climb to the TOP! I'm not much better, as I'm also in last place in my league:

195. Shrink Attack 1-5-0 714.55

But honestly, does this SOUND like a last place team after the draft, especially in a 14-team league?

QB: Warner
RB: Gore, Ronnie Brown, A. Bradshaw
WR: Jennings, Derrick Mason, D. Avery, I. Bruce (weak, but not horrible going in as they were all projected #1 WR's)
TE: Zach Miller
K: Akers
Def: Jets

It doesn't help that I've lost TWO games each by less than 1 point this season, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm only 195th in points in the Classic.

Paul,

QB: Warner
RB: Gore, Ronnie Brown, A. Bradshaw
WR: Jennings, Derrick Mason, D. Avery, I. Bruce (weak, but not horrible going in as they were all projected #1 WR's)
TE: Zach Miller
K: Akers
Def: Jets

That was a Great Draft. Funny thing is I also thought I had a Great draft for a 14 team League. Thought going into the season that was my best team. But Your draft was way better, maybe that's why Your in 194 and I'm in 289 place. I have to much pride to give up. Good Luck too You this week.

By the way I play the #1 Overall player this week, too bad for him I'm pissed. :D

Good Luck Paul and Larry,

John

Good luck to you too, John.

Funny thing is that Larry Schechter is #1 Overall in the Classic, but only 3-3 in his own (your) league!

He's first in the Ultimate as well, but I'm in second place only 11 points behind him. But to make things clear, KoQ (Glenn Schroter) is leading both of us in points and is lurking, ready to make a big move.

[/QUOTE]Paul,

On paper, that would of looked like a good team coming out of the draft room.

However, Zach Miller has been a huge disappointment (except for last week), the Jets, Jennings, and Avery all have been bad.

Gore, Avery have been hurt,etc.

I am betting you are really struggling at the flex most weeks.

It's got many players that SHOULD produce, but just haven't. Luckily, we officially haven't played 1/2 of our regular season, so plenty of time to turn it around! :D

Good luck my friend! :D

Paul, my team was so pissed off about losing by 0.95 points in Week 5 (sound familiar? ), they decided to put up a 200-spot in Week 6.

Lots of season still to come, in what should be a fairly wide-open race.

I didn't know you lost such a close one in week 5 by only 0.95, but since I lost that same week by only 0.45, I can't feel sorry for you! ;)

Good luck my friend! :D [/QUOTE]Exactly correct on all counts, Billy.

That's why I emphasized the after the draft part. In no way do I believe this team somehow deserves to be ranked better. Underperformance and injuries have made it what it is, but I picked them so I have to take ownership and live with them.

Good luck this week!

Did not have a good week. Moved up only two spots.

287. RAIDERS NFFC New York League 1 1-6-0 708.55

One week at a Time, for my climb to the Top!
