I'd like to join a new "start up" league. But it's pretty difficult to find 12 guys that are that devoted. So tha's why I'm gonna go the application route.

I appreciate it fine and congrats, just thought the "injuries are a part of FF and the good teams know that" was sort of a useless comment in this context

Not really though, luck is involved as it is in poker.

Yep. it's not easy to find dedicated owners. I had to replace two owners during the season because they would not do the minimum in making sure players on "bye week" are not in their starting players or injured players are benched etc.... I think we have a solid group now.
Now the main problem is getting input from all owners on potential changes in settings for next season. Some of them I never get a response from. I can live with that as long as they are not complaining after changes have been made. lol

Part luck! The owners who can excel at waivers and/or free agents will usually end up with the best records. ALso, people who closely follow player news have a leg up.

I have a studly ppr team this year. Ben, Foster, AP, Cruz, Denario Alexander, B Meyers, Spiller, and all of our busts on the bench (maclin, Finley, Wallace). Add Gould for some bears flavor and you've got a sick team.

You're talking about MJD while you took McFadden?

My PPR team started off awesome then completely collapsed due to injuries (cardinals QB situation killed Fitz) or bad coaching (Forte and Charles not getting enough touches), and just terrible career lows (Rivers & Finley), and one very bad decision (trading Dez Bryant BEFORE he went off). Dez Bryant ticks me off because the guys was killing me. So I traded him at the trade deadline, which is when he decided to go off. Also, I'm never taking a Packer again, everytime I do they play like absolute shit, or get hurt in the playoffs.

I have a killer team after some great WW pickups(most notably Alfred Morris) and made a few good trades, now it's time to chip up :woot:
14 team league
QB-Tom Brady
WR-Brandon Marshall
WR-Larry Fitzgerald
RB-Trent Richardson
RB-Marshawn Lynch
TE-Jimmy Graham
RB/WR-Ray Rice
K-Greg Zuerlein
DEF-Seattle
Bench-Sam Bradford, Cecil Shorts, Dez Bryant, Danario Alexander, Chris Ivory, Kyle Rudolph
Was hoping to flip Fitz and Dez for AJ Green or Megatron but no luck

My fantasy season has been less than stellar QBwise with Eli Manning from week to week, but I've made up for it with Philly's backs (B. Brown fell to me when McCoy got hurt) and a solid stable of wideouts that has Reggie Wayne riding the bench more often than not, unless Julio Jones, AJ Green, Amendola, or H. Nicks are hurt.
All you really need to win in fantasy football is a reliable TE, D and Kicker; depending on injuries, QBs, and weather.
(I snagged Jimmy Graham coming off his injury, and average about 14 points a week out of Houston's D, so I'm currently in 2nd place; thanks mostly to New England's kicker)

That's oversimplifying than all hell. There are plenty of formulas to winning FFB, but most of all you just have to have luck on your side.

I play with a blind bidding waiver wire system, I find that takes some of the luck out of it. There is luck involved no doubt, but there is also a distinctive advantage to be in the "know" and watching a lot games, IMO.
Good luck to those advancing to the playoffs and better luck next year to the others.
With that said, I need to start 3 of these in PPR this weekend .... T Richardson, C Johnson, D Sproles and K Moreno. Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards sitting Sproles ...
