Thread of Champions !

[T-Man]

Thanks, Big John. Been busy working on my graduate degree which didn't leave as much time on the boards.

[mariguas]

I won my SB 111-90 in a non PPR league as a FF rookie, with A LOT of help from all the huddlers in this forum. THANK YOU, SO MUCH. I am freaking hooked to fantasy. I survived trading Ron Brown! after the first week. Having Anthony Gonzalez, Boldin and PT hurt since the start of the season, the injury to O.Daniels and the up and downs of Brady. Got great picks from the ww: J. Charles, MSW, B. Wells, AZ DST for the last 2 weeks... and nice trades for: R.Rice, Driver, Celek, HWard, Slaton(sold him high). Also awful trades to get Forte and give up HWard.

I kept making moves and trades all season long and this is how my team end up.

My winning line up:

QB: Brady

RB: Rice and BWells

WR: Boldin, Driver and MSW

TE: JFinley

DST: AZ

K: Hartley

BENCH:

JCharles and Snelling

FDavis and Celek

ABryant

Lost in one league sticking with Peyton and Clark

 

Up 12 in another league with my opponent having Sidney Rice remaining.

 

1 week left in my big-money league, currently in 1st place (points pay-out league).

Won both Championships in both leagues

 

Money League: (10-3 1st Place)

QB- Vince Young

WR- Larry Fitzgerald

WR- Randy Moss

WR- Andre Johnson

RB- Cedric Benson

RB- Frank Gore

[PPIchamp]

I won my Finals matchup in my one and only Head to Head League!

 

I had to make the decision to bench Steven Jackson before the start of the 1:00 EST games, because if he was out A: I wouldn't be home to make a change. And B: The only change I could've made at 4:00 would have been McCoy....not good. So I plugged in Jerome Harrison.....18.8 points!

 

Me: Schaub, Welker, DeSean, Ocho, Gore, Harrison, Beanie, Scaife, Kaeding, AZ, Willis and Ruud = 134.45

Opp: Rodgers, Colston, Meachem, Crabtree, CJ4.24, Snelling, Gates, Celek, Carpenter, IND, Dawkins, Lofton = 112.48

 

I made one trade in this League all year, and it was a bad one. I sent away Ray Rice and NYG Smith for Ocho and Slaton, but I survived it.

 

I Won $400. I know that's tiddly winks compared to alot of you more experienced guys who pay more than that as an entry fee, but only being my second fantasy football season I'm pretty excited about it!

 

Thank You Huddle, I doubt I could have done it without you!

[SpinalTapp]

Won the Championship in my 12 man league in a one-sided blow out....160 to 96. I play in a modified keeper league and this was the last year I was able to keep T.Brady, M.Turner, and A.Gates. Unfortunately, the previous two seasons, I came up empty handed with championships even though my team dominated the league in terms of total points scored and overall breakdown. So, it was very satisfying to finish off the season after dominating the regular season again and fearing bad luck would strike again - especially considering Brady, Gates, and Turner all go back into the redraft pool next season.

 

Here is my Championship Team

 

T.Brady

Chris Johnson

J.Harrison (plugged him in for L.Maroney - I had been using Maroney to replace injured M.Turner for weeks)

Ricky Williams

R.Moss

M.Sims Walker (substitution for R.Wayne....my regular starting WR)

A.Gates

D.Akers

49erss DST (Ravens carried me all year, but played the matchup this week)

 

Thanks to the Huddle and my Sunday lifeline for all the advice this season - you know who you are.

One local that I share with a friend of mine we just won our 2nd championship in a row. We are allowed to flex the RB position so we ran the wishbone all year. Complete redraft league (10 teams) and here is our lineup.

 

Matt Schaub

Chris Johnson

Ray Rice

Maurice Jones-Drew

Marques Colston

Ocho-Cinco (or Steve Smith NYG)

Antonio Gates

Kicker

Defense

 

Great team...don't ask me how we ended up with Chris Johnson at the 19th overall pick. It was quite bizarre.

Dude, that lineup is so close to mine in a points only league that I have dominated this year.

Matt Schaub

Chris Johnson

Ray Rice

Maurice Jones-Drew

Marques Colston

DeSean Jackson

Nate Burleson

Antonio Gates

Beanie Wells

Reed

Cincinatti

 

Drafted MJD #4 overall, and scored C.J. in the second round at #21, and Schaub in the 9th at #148 (after I took Coles in the 8th, lol). 12 team League.

Won two leagues today....

 

Local Keeper League

QB - McNabb, Young

RB - Peterson, Chris Johnson, P. Thomas, M. Bell, T. Jones

WR - Welker, Marshall, S. Smith (NY), Bowe, Edelman, J. Jones

TE - Witten, Finley

K - Akers

DEF - PHI

 

Huddle Ladder (All Pro)

QB - Rodgers

RB - Gore, T. Jones, Sproles, Faulk

WR - Marshall, Driver, C. Johnson, Crabtree, Garcon, Bess

TE - Gates, Finley, Watson

K - Akers

DEF - PHI

 

I've been on both sides of the coin, more times than I care to count, so I feel very fortunate to have had such a good day today... Including three third place games, I should end up 5-0 this weekend, as long as I get 10 points or more from AP tomorrow. Congrats to all of you who came out on top this year.

 

As I've previously mentioned, I took a chance on Thomas Jones and Brandon Marshall in several leagues this year, and it paid off in these two... Having the Philly D didn't hurt, either. Most importantly of all, luck always helps... Without that on your side, it doesn't matter how good of a squad you have.

[Ursa Majoris]

I Won $400. I know that's tiddly winks compared to alot of you more experienced guys who pay more than that as an entry fee

No, that's a decent enough pot. None of my seven leagues are over $100 in and most are half that. I'm pretty sure nearly all the BOTH leagues are in the same range. We aren't all Henry Muto.

[PPIchamp]

Cool, I paid $50 to join the league, did it on a whim really. It was the day before the NFL season started, and even though I'm not really a fan of H2H leagues (the "luck" factor is too big for my liking) I found this league, liked the scoring system and league/roster sizes, so I said eff it and joined. I just wanted to join a third $ League and couldn't find another points only league I liked the looks of.

And I had already joined this site, and I wanted to put this fantastic information source to more use, heck, I'm paying for it, heh.

 

We aern't all Henry Muto, ain't that the truth.

I won 2 titles out of 3 leagues. Here are my 2 Superbowl winning rosters:

 

Obstacle 1 in "Save the Drama for Your Mama" Local

 

QB Rodgers

RB: CJ, Beanie

WR: A.Johnson, M.Austin, S.Smith (NYG)

RB/WR: Jamaal Charles

TE: Winslow

DEF: Arizona

K - Hartley

 

The first 3 picks of Andre, CJ, and Rodgers were my studs foundation. My waiver wire pickups of Miles Austin, Steve Smith, and Jamaal Charles also offset some of the other WR draft hiccups I had of Bowe and A.Gonzalez.

 

Obstacle 1 in Local Office League

 

QB: McNabb

RB: Beanie, Jamaal Charles (benched Grant)

WR: Moss, Colston, Miles Austin

TE: Finley (benched Witten this week)

DEF: Cinci

K: Kaeding

 

My 2 waiver pickups of Jamaal and Miles again saved this team since I lost Slaton and Anthony Gonzalez to IR.

[buddahj]

unless farve throws for 350 yds & 4 td's in the 2nd half, i'll wrap up @ least one championship this year.

[Cunning Runt]

Proud to say I am the first 4 time champ of our long-standing league.

 

I'll make approx. $550 plus get the traveling trophy at my crib for a year.

 

Having Chris Johnson didn't hurt. Nor did picking up Miles Austin off the waiver wire early in the year and Jerome Harrison about a month ago. And lastly trading away Michael Turner and getting Beanie Wells and Brandpn Jacobs. Trade looked bad at first 'cause as soon as I made it, Turner scored 3TDs and went on a run. Made the trade specifically for Beanie's playoff matchups and it worked out. Jacobs rode my pine.

 

Stayed relatively healthy.

 

Very grateful to have pulled it out.

[IanCurtis]

After a 7 year dry-spell, just clinched the championship (and $1490) of my 12 team league with AP's first touchdown tonight.

 

QB: Rodgers and Roethlisberger

RB: AP, Ray Rice, Fred Jackson

WR: both Steve Smiths, Collie

TE: Finley (had Owen Daniels too)

K: Kaeding

D: Bills, Bears

 

As a Rutgers alum, I'm especially proud of Ray Rice and his accomplishments this year.

[Pirate lookin' at 40]

Finally won a local I've been trying to win since 2001.

 

Had my best RB performance of the season on Sunday. My RB's sucked this year.

Larry Fitzgerald

Roddy White
