Since you guys put your's up I thought I'd do the same. I have another draft on the 20th so i'll post that one too. This is a 10 team league with defensive players. Yahoo really sucks with defense. The couple of guys that missed the draft really got screwed by the yahoo rankings getting the Cards' 4th or 5th string corner and players just as good as him. And it was tough finding some players because Ed Reed was like 200th on the list. Well here's my team.QB T. Green(KC - QB)WR H. Ward(Pit - WR)WR R. Wayne(Ind - WR)WR D. Jackson(Sea - WR)RB T. Barber(NYG - RB)RB C. Williams(TB - RB)TE T. Heap(Bal - TE)BN C. Taylor(Min - RB)BN J. Plummer(Den - QB)BN J. Addai(Ind - RB)BN B. Lloyd(Was - WR)K D. Akers(Phi - K)DEF Carolina(Car - DEF)D R. Lewis(Bal - DL)D E. Reed(Bal - DB)DL L. Fletcher(Buf - DL)DL W. Smith(NO - DL)DB D. Robinson(Hou - DB)DB S. Knight(KC - DB)BN B. Berry(Ari - DL)BN R. Harrison(NE - DB)
This is my first one. I am doing another with defensive players. I like it because it really does test your knowledge of the game. I didn't like just picking a few offensive positions.

Some no name LB, DB and/or a DL could have an amazing week. If you get lucky with defensive players you will win those leagues, but getting lucky with D players isn't an easy thing to do.
You don't really get lucky. You have to know about the defensive players. You can't just pick random guys and win. On Yahoo it's more like whoever finds the guys wins since their rankings suck ass. But most big, expert leagues have defensive players. Most of the people that play normal fantasy football couldn't name 5 defensive players outside their team.
This is the team I had in a 20-team league with 5 forums. I had the 16th pick in the draft. The offensive talent really flew off the board and I ran out of time so I picked Viniateri early by mistake, but I did get some good defensive players.QB J. Plummer(Den - QB)WR A. Boldin(Ari - WR)WR D. Driver(GB - WR)WR E. Wilford(Jac - WR)RB D. Davis(Hou - RB)RB T. Jones(Chi - RB)TE L. Smith(Phi - TE)W/T C. Rogers(Det - WR)W/R N. Goings(Car - RB)P. Ramsey(NYJ - QB)BN K. Mangum(Car - TE)K A. Vinatieri(Ind - K)D J. Taylor(Mia - DL)D J. Peppers(Car - DL)DB D. Robinson(Hou - DB)DB E. Coleman(NYJ - DB)DB M. Trufant(Sea - DB)DB T. Parrish(SF - DB)DL W. Smith(NO - DL)DL C. Grant(NO - DL)DL Ke. Williams(Min - DL)DL D. Howard(Phi - DL)DL R. Coleman(Atl - DL)BN G. Wesley(KC - DB)BN J. Hall(Det - DL)
