I posted this in the notes section of the league too.
I like typing up little weekly reviews so without further ado....

WEEK 1 (aka: it just don't matter)
Week one is in the books, and I (for one) am extremely happy to have NFL football back! I'm not a College fan, and the NFL preseason just doesn't grab me, so this past weekend was great.

As for the League, Week 1 is relatively meaningless because you are either 1 & 0 or 0 & 1. Neither record will matter much in the longrun, but of course, getting a week 1 win is always a good thing. Screaming Eagles, Lions Lose... Again, Pain Train, Mile High & Swasbucklers are all riding high on that week 1 win, and are all undoubtedly looking forward to an undefeated season. The rest are still seeking a W.

High points are the Eagles with 150, low spot is shared by indebut's inferno and Raveners both at 93, followed VERY nearly by Montana's MVP's at 94. Of the high scoring individual players, the top 10 were all QB's, Eli Manning was tops with 54, but will be out for a month with an injury. I find this interesting because in the TFP league, completions are worth a point, therefore QB's have a much greater potential for scoring than RB's, yet RB's were heavily drafted early, while good QB's went untaken. In fact there were 5 undrafted QB's that finished AHEAD of the highest point total for RB's (Tomlinson with 23) in points in week 1. I know, I know, RB's are the backbone of a good fantasy team, but without a good QB showing considering the point values here, it will be tough to win. In fact LT's owner, Swashbucklers, rode a 46 pt performance by (of all people) Detroit Lion's QB J. Kitna for the win.

Underperformance of the week goes to the overall #2 pick S. Jackson, who garnished a pathetic -1 for the week. OUCH! It always hurts to see a goosegg, its even worse to see a minus, but when it's the #2 pick of the whole league, you gotta just shake yer head and hope for the best next week. Lucky for the Screamers, some other dominating performances (like MIN Defense, WTF?) more than balanced out Jackson's embarrassing total.

Game(s) of the week for week 2 will be the battles of the undefeated teams...
Pain Train vs. Mile High and
Screaming Eagles vs. Swashbucklers

Good luck to all, and let's see some more smack-talk!
