Had Donovan and Marshall been healthy all year, I probably would have gone undefeated:(

Nice team. My condolences on McNabb. I was 9-0 until week 10, then everyone on my team had a bye week.

My roster:

QB - Gannon, Bledsoe, Hasselbeck
RB - Deuce McAllister, Shaun Alexander, Michael Bennett, Mike Anderson(Denver)
WR - Jimmy Smith, Peerless Price, Eric Moulds, Troy Brown
TE - Shannon Sharpe, Mark Campbell
K - Matt Stover (Baltimore), James Tuthill ('Skins)
D - Oakland, Atlanta.

Starting lineups are limited to 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D. If healthy, I will win my league championship. I'm also struggling over who to start at QB and WR.

Christ, how did you get McAllister and Alexander? (then again, how did I get mcnabb and faulk?!?)

In fact, how did you go 9-0, considering Alexander's only really been coming on as of late...?

[kimchee63]

I drafted McAllister 2 years ago, hoping that Williams would wear out his welcome in New Orleans. As for Alexander, I got him in a trade for Favre last year.

I had Moss last year but got sick of his antics, so I traded him for Troy Brown and a 1st round pick, which I used to get Jimmy Smith.

I'm in a keeper league on NFL.com. It's a 12 team league and we get to keep 4 players. The rest get thrown back into the pool.

As for going 9-0, it seemed that every week at least 2 of my players would have a monster week. Sharpe had a 3 TD 200 yard game one week, then Alexander went nuts the next, etc.

I'm in the playoffs, but I'm worried about teams "resting" their stars for THEIR playoffs. 3 years ago I made it to the league championship. Culpepper had carried me for most of the year, then Dennis Green decided to hold his star QB out of the final game, and so I lost.

I'm in a bit of a bind over which 4 players to keep for next year. I want to hold on to Gannon, but he's 37 and who knows how much gas he has left.

Ahhh, keeper leagues...where the boys have to become men! I've been wanting to join one...just haven't gotten around to it. I would have said your trade for Alexander last year was a steal, but he's been such a disappointment!

I've made a resolution to just avoid head cases altogether.

If you can have two or three players average about 20 points each week, you're a lock to win the whole dang thing.

Yep, I almost lost last week because the Chiefs blew out the Cardinals so bad (and Green was subsequently rested).

Hold onto Gannon for another year unless you've got something more tasty. Judging by the way he played on Sunday, he's (almost) peaking, or at the very least, coming right over his hill.

Hey! How do you know that uh I don't play? :ph34r: Alright I don't....what is football? hahaha :lol: j/k

[kimchee63]

The thing about keeper leagues is that everyone has to be committed to staying with the group for a long time. If you get a lot of turnover it makes no sense.

We've give an award each year to the first owner to have a player arrested.

I used to be in a keeper league, but it was really stupic cause you could keep 8 players. 8! The draft ended up meaning next to nothing. I want to join another.

I'm in a 14 player baseball keeper league, which I find amazing cause these are guys I met online and we've been playing for 4 years now.

Maybe we should make a YW keeper FFL for next year.

Oh...one thing to think about for Gannon. Not only is he 37, but his receivers are old too. How much longer can Rice and Brown hold up? Brown's already starting to show a few signs of aging.
