NFL Universe League Plays

Here's what I did. I've had success with this format in the past, winning the two leagues I've played (one mid-season and on league and one playoff league). My strategy with the regular-season league was to save the best for last and take advantage of matchups and injuries to try to time the market on marginal players. Of course, this is a common strategy. The art lies in picking the right players at the right time.

So, for Week 1 (this league has one flex position at RB, WR, or TE every week):

J. Harrington (Packers)
W. McGahee (Texans)
W. Parker (Titans)
I. Bruce (at Niners)
A. Bryant (Bengals)
J. McCareins (at Chiefs)
D. Branch (Raiders)
T. Heap (Colts)
D. Akers (at Falcons)
Redskins D (Bears)

I try to play mostly home teams. I want my kicker indoors whenever possible. I don't want to field too many scrubs, so there's a little balance with Akers, McGahee and Heap (though I like him more than most). McGahee is my one burn this week, but I like the matchup and am hoping for a huge day.
