Not playing this year but I did win 2 my league 2 years in a row. The key is SLEEPERS, find the sleepers and you will win, draft them if you have to, last year I pretty much coasted to the best record and the trophy with Brandon Marshall at the wide out spot that I took with my last pick.
The year before I pretty much put the house on Frank Gore picking him up in the 4th round and I also went with Carson Palmer who looked good in the 1st preseason game after coming off the devastating knee injury. Gore was a beast for me and I won the playoffs after a semi-spotty regular season.
Find sleeper backs, there are so many of them in the league every year you can find 5 guys who will help you out. Jonathan Stewart, Kevin Johnson, DeAngelo Williams (whom I was unbelievably high on out of Memphis), Matt Forte, Michael Bush (another guy I loved out of college) and Sammy Morris were all guys who probably didn't have much draft value 6 weeks ago but now are great guys to have. And they don't stop coming either, Ryan Grant didn't get going until week 8 last year and Curtis Graham didn't get going early either. Nor did Maurice Jones-Drew the year before and I had him as well. Sleeper backs will win your league, guaranteed always look for them instead of doing trades for big names.
Don't go out and grab recievers off 1 good game. So many of my friends picked up Eddie Royal after the game against the Chargers and it's just not a good idea. Guys like Jerricho Cotchery who are consistent and always the 1st option for their QB are much better bets because you can see who they are up against and play them off your bench from there.
