Week One: Disqualified.
what an inglorious way to start off the season, despite beating my opponent on the scoreboard, i lost the game before we even played. why? i forgot to pick up a K or a D before the games started so took a lineup DQ. i asked my league if it would be okay to not play a K or a D this week but we decided against it. the reasoning for me was that seeing who might have promise on my roster was more important that having a K this week. i was going to release donald driver and deshaun foster (or tiki barber) but really didn't want to do it because i would inevitably lose at least one to the waiver wire.
so in a move that was totally unplanned, i forgot to get a K before sunday's game. so now i have a loss, no points, and i gave up my right to pickup waiver wire people this week. the good news is that my team did okay this week, much better than i expected. my young receivers look okay, and with charles rogers getting injured, roy williams should move a slot up. and even ashely lelie (who had bust written all over him) did okay.
my highest scorer this week was tiki barber, which was a bit of a fluke because all his points came from one huge touchdown run. but between him and rudi johnson, i should be okay. it looks like my young backs won't be getting off the bench soon. stephen jackson, willis mcgahee, lee suggs and deshaun foster will probably be using sparingly by their teams. leaving me with a very thin RB corps despite six of them on my roster. i'll have to ride rudi to the top!
week one was incredible. having the NFL back in my life is just too awesome to put into words. we spent all of sunday sitting around the tv, checking stats and scores on the internet. it's amazing that for a sport that's around for five months of every year, how much anticipation you can have in the intervening few months. and how about those old fogies? curtis martin, vinny t, jerome bettis, keyshawn, isaac bruce, even emmitt smith a bit. all those old veterans had huge days. and it looks like donovan and daunte will be the cream of this year's QB crop. four and five touchdowns respectively, incredible. i think i'm gonna regret not picking up david terrell.
i feel like i can be competitive this season, even as i rebuild, especially with my young WR corps looking fine as candy. let's hope suggs gets healed and returns to the field though, otherwise i could be in for a world of hurt in the running game.
