I'm currently in 4th (last playoff spot), but am only a handful of games back of 3rd. It took me a while to figure out how to use the waiver wire to my advantage...making a comeback!
Expanded my league from 12 to 16 this year. Draft is a week from this coming Saturday. Year 6 for this bunch. It started as just goofing around with my sons, and grew to a pretty competitive group.
