Fantasy Football 2008

its looking highly unlikely that ill get to take part in the draft, and i dont fully understand the picks system for if im not gonna be there tbh, ill try get out of work early but its looking increasingly doubtful that i can take part!

could be getting off to a bad start here!

eagle eye

Well I have to say I'm happy overall with my team. Took a gamble or two but overall I like the team I have. I got Brady of course. The one I waited for that I really wanted was Donte Stallworth who I reckon will be a superstar this season.

Neil3030

I'm very happy with my team aswell. No superstars, but consistency throughout. Romo and Manning (Eli), Edwards, Welker, Clark, Maroney and the Colts D. Few rookies that I feel very confident about aswell.

raven136

happy enough with my team bar the qb position.Got Ladainian Tomlinson,Andre Johnson who im very happy with but my qb's are Vince young and marc bulger who im trying to trade.
should be fun season

Xavi6

Happy enough with how my team turned out.

QB - Phillip Rivers
RB - Edgerrin James
RB - Larry Johnson
WR - Joey Galloway
WR - Marvin Harrison
WR - Calvin Johnson
TE - Owen Daniels
K - Jason Elam
DEF - Steelers

Coulda been worse. Hopefully LJ can stay healthy for the year.

EDIT: Also got two very promising rookies in reserve who should be starters this year, one RB and one TE.

Vikings

Yeah i'm happy enough with my team too, main picks:

Ben Roth,
T.O,
Vikings DST

The rest are fillers, lol.

Set up that auto pick thing wrong and by the time I got on at 18:38 it was already in round 8 and I had some crazy picks (2 kickers and 2 defenses)

So if anyone is looking for the Bears defense or Josh Brown I am open for trades!

kryogen

Delhomme, Jake QB
Jones-Drew, Maurice RB
Peterson, Adrian RB
Walker, Javon WR
Ward, Hines WR
White, Roddy WR
Witten, Jason TE
Gostkowski, Stephen K
Cowboys, DST DST DAL
Russell, JaMarcus QB
Taylor, Chester RB
Mason, Derrick WR
Gonzalez, Tony TE
Jets, DST DST NYJ


that was what i was faced with when i came home, i must have screwed up my auto thing somehow......ugh....could be worse, but i will have a lot fo work to do i think

dougal

How many people actually live drafted - I got stuck in work so couldn't get there. Team is average enough but could have been worse I suppose.

Pyjamarama

There was 3 or 4 of us...

Happy enough with my team, although i'm kinda relying on the Eagles doing well... which may not actually happen... still a man can dream...

donovan McNabb
Ryan Grant
Willis McGahee
Randy Moss
Laveranues Coles
Kevin Curtis
LJ Smith
Adam Vinatieri
Eagles D/ST

Aaron Rodgers (Farve might be coming back!! WTF!)
Chris Johnson
Bryant Johnson (really happy with him, talked to a few niners fans and he's set to be no.1 in a Mike Martz system! Nice reserve!)
Marcedes Lewis
Cardinals D/ST




Biggest surprise for me was Steven Jackson going ahead of LT... 4th pick LT... someone hit the jackpot.

I am a Cards fan and am not too sorry to see the back of him. He dropped too many passes.
He was getting better as the seasons went by though but he will have to improve a hell of a lot to be a no. 1 receiver.

Wanders_fan

Farve to come back and play for Lahinch Legends in the Official Boards League!!!

Xavi6

Lovin the live scoring in the Fantasy Football.

Phillip Rivers did well for me today and taking a chance on LJ looks like it might pay off. Sitting on 97 with a few games still to go.

Pyjamarama

My risky lets go with the eagles went well today! Dmac on song and LJ Smith gets off the mark in game 1. Picked up Deshaun Jackson aswell...

On a non fantasy note mark it down. DJack is the next Steve Smith. The guy is a weapon. Once again the NFL scouts have messed it up by overanalysisng a guy. He should have been a 1st rounder but they said he was too small. It may only have been the rams and they kinda suck but the kid knows how to play ball.

Harsh on the Brady front for whoever has him (I think he went 1st pick right?).

eagle eye

Someone offered me a trade for Reggie Bush. Someone got Cassel before me. I'm not happy he was rightfully mine after losing Brady. Anyways I brought in Kyle Orton who I was surprised to see as a free agent. My WR's have given me trouble but I'm not letting go of either of my injured ones, they can sit on the bench till they get better, they are too good to let go. I managed a win week one, but I was very lucky, my low round draft pick was the difference, Willie Parker, knew he was a good choice.
I am taking a chance on Kyle Orton this week over Jay Cutler. I fancy both teams to win but I just feel that even with Brandon Marshall back that it will be tough to put up big yardage against San Diego. I think there is a much bigger chance of the grossly underestimated Bears racking up big points and passing yardage against Carolina.

Pyjamarama

I can't believe I'm starting the Cards D over the Eagles one! But it seems like the right thing to do, the Cowboys have a slightly more potent offense than the Dolphins!

Tough game for me this week, I'd be surprised if I win this one...

Was looking there though and if McGahee had played I could have had some weekend last time.

Xavi6

Another good gameweek so far. Forgot to get rid of my Tennesse tight end though seeing as they were given a bye along with Baltimore.

Joey Galloway is getting cut. Too injury prone and old.

Xavi6

A 93-73 win has us 2-0. Solid start.

titan18

AN 86-75 win for me puts me 2-0 aswell.I even had Barber on the bench and still won

eagle eye

Sick week for me, I left both Cutler and Scheffler on the bench as they were playing San Diego.:eek:

I do not see why you even have Kyle Orton in your team,let alone stating him for any reason.He isnt good enough to be on someone's bench

I lost Brady, thats why. I started him because I did not like playing Cutler against that San Diego defense. Same reason I left out the tight end.

Orton is never going to be a big scorer, but I needed someone who was starting and there was nobody safer available.

Xavi6

A superb Phillip Rivers performance has seen me scrape a 94-92 win this week to go 3-0.

Didn't think we would do it being about 20 points down going into tonight's game and it was touch and go for a while.

Karlusss

That was me you beat! I thought I had that won, fcuk. TWO more points from Sproles and I would have kept it but NO LT has to get the HB Dives from the 2.

Xavi6

A resounding 122-71 win has me at 4-0 :cool:

titan18

I win 107-67 to go 4-0.Hopefully me and Zavi can go unbeatehn til week 7 and then we face off

dougal

Back to 2-2 after losing the first 2.

Thanks to Legends leaving Brett Favre on the bench this weekend - man I was lucky there!

Karlusss

1-3, and I'm not doing what Michael Fabiano says ever again. Guru my bollocks.

Xavi6

Bye bye 100% record

LJ, the Saints WRs and Calvin Johnson shafted me big time.

Karlusss

When I went to bed on Sunday, I was all square and it was Reggie Williams vs. Adrian Peterson left to play. Thought I had no chance. Adrian Peterson rushes for 32 yards last night. Forgot to check how Williams did.

Shut out.

Fantastic.

Lost again.

dougal

Wahoo - Drew Brees came through for me last night.
3 wins in a row - I don't know how though.

titan18

My unbeaten record is gone aswell

Xavi6

A majestic performance from Phillip Rivers has clawed me from a good 20 points down to win 96-91 and go 5-1 (neither of us have anyone involved in the Monday night game).

evil_seed

82-62. breaston, what a pick up. and the win was vs my cousin. all the more sweeter!

JJ

With one of my teams, I'm 4 points down and all my opponent's players have played but I still have Brandon Jacobs to go. A TD and a few yards by Jacobs tonight would do nicely. I'd be sitting pretty now if the Cowgirls defense hadn't given up so many points. And I don't want to look up the result tomorrow morning because I want to watch the Giants game Tuesday night after I get home from work.

My other team is ahead by 60 points with two more players to go. My opponent in this matchup also has no more playeres to go. I much prefer not having to sweat out Monday night.

Go Cards!!!

I need a WR too - I can't believe I didn't spot him being available last week.

A 4th quarter TD from my Seahawks TE John Carlson salvages a draw for me this week. 102-102 vs Titan18.

LOL I saw that - I was hoping I could have drawn level with you in the division but alas no.

Xavi6

Got out of jail again this week. Reggie Wayne needed to get 4 points tonight for me to lose. He got 2

90-89 win.

I'm destined never to catch you in this division! :P

I've had a horrible last two weeks, record in 3 comps up till then was 15-2-1. Latest record is 16-7-1:mad:

Romo being out is hurting me having T.O in one of my teams and Witten in all 3 teams:rolleyes:

Xavi6

Ended Waterford City Warriors unbeaten run with 94-63 win.

Moves us to 7-1-1 for the year.

Well done on that win.

I couldn't get over Drew Brees bye week. I thought I had a chance going into Monday night with Campbell and Portis but neither could get in the endzone so I came up short.

As I said - that tie you had early kept you half a game clear and me out of the playoffs. Well done.

At least in my US league I managed to win my division and have a first round bye.
