    It's that time of year - Fantasy Football time

    So who else is in a league? How your teams look? What league?

    I tried that NFL league last year along with my cousins league on Yahoo. I can say I didn't like how the NFL sets theirs up. This is my 6th year in Yahoo and I think for once my team is stacked fairly well. My cousin who has run the league has won it 4 out of last 6 and had Peyton Manning every damn year. This year he is not winning.

    My team - few minor tweaks needed but overall looks strong.

    QB Peyton Manning (Ind - QB)
    WR Randy Moss (NE - WR)
    WR Anquan Boldin (Ari - WR)
    WR Nate Burleson (Sea - WR)
    RB Darren McFadden (Oak - RB)
    RB Edgerrin James (Ari - RB)
    TE Chris Cooley (Was - TE)
    W/T Vincent Jackson (SD - WR)
    W/R Devin Hester (Chi - WR)
    BN Selvin Young (Den - RB)
    BN Philip Rivers (SD - QB)
    BN Jerious Norwood (Atl - RB)
    BN Marcedes Lewis (Jac - TE)
    K Stephen Gostkowski (NE - K)
    BN Ryan Longwell (Min - K)
    DEF San Diego

    How many teams are in your league?
    I play in 2 different leagues, one has 8 teams the other 12 teams.

    My 8 team league is:

    Tom Brady
    Brandon Jacobs
    Earnast Graham
    Calvin Johnson
    Larry Fitzgerald
    Reggie Wayne
    Antonio Gates
    Reggie Bush
    Thomas Jones
    Dallas Clark
    Ole crackhead Ricky Williams

    My 12 team league is:

    Tom Brady
    Larry Johnson
    Brandon Jacobs
    Edgerinn James
    Chad Johnson
    Greg Jennings
    Devon Hester
    Derrick Mason
    Heath Miller
    Adam Vinateri
    Steelers Def.

    Your team looks good depending on how many teams is in your league.
    You do know that Justin Fargas is the starter in Oakland though. Mcfadden will probably win the job by mid to late season but at best he will be splitting carries. Burlesson is kinda iffy to.... Good luck though buddy.

    I don't play fantasy football, but i hear enough about it to be a friggin ESPN analyst... haha, it gets on my nerves so bad! My boss and co-workers are psychotic about it... my boss is in like 5 leagues, two of which are ones you have to fly to Las Vegas for the draft, and have buy-ins upwards of $1800.... on the flip side, he did end up winning somewhere around $10K last year...

    I love Fantasy Football. I don't buy into the big money leagues, but mine is a $50 buy in.

    My roster:
    Drew Brees QB
    Jake DelHomme QB
    Edgerrin James RB
    Clinton Portis RB
    Ronnie Brown RB
    Kellen Winslow Jr. TE
    Ben Watson TE
    Bernard Berrien WR
    Greg Jennings WR
    Laveranues Coles WR
    Donte Stallworth WR
    Nate Kaeding K
    GB Def
    BAL Def
    Dan -- 2003 Cobra DSG Coupe #6009

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    I'm i a 10 team league, and I got to pick 4th. We use the S-style order, so I had the 4th and 17th picks, and so on... Any offensive TD is 6 points, subtract a point for an interception or fumble, point for each reception from #3 on, etc... We have to play a QB, 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, K & D. It's a head-to-head league. Last year I rode Romo & TO to the championship. It's a non-keeper league, so every year I have to start fresh.

    I lost the order I picked the team - I know #1 thru 5 were...

    Brian Westbrook
    Frank Gore
    TJ Hoozyamama
    Derek Anderson
    Anquan Boldin

    and then the rest of my team is ( we go a whopping 19 rounds... ):

    Deuce McCallister
    Jonathan Stewart
    Ronnie Brown
    Matt Schaub
    Brady Quinn ( to backup Anderson )
    Mushin Muhammed
    Kellen Winslow
    Jeremy Shockey
    Robert Meachem
    Heath Miller
    Jason Hansen
    Phil Dawson
    Vikings D
    Ravens D

    This is a pretty cheap league. $73 buy-in, $13 of which goes toward the CBS Sportsline website. I cleared a whopping $330 last year for my efforts. :)
