Fantasy Football 2009, Week 1

The great three team fantasy football adventure has begun. That's right. This season I have three teams: my regular Yahoo! league, a random ESPN league and an ESPN league with 9 friends. In order to keep the weekly updates a little shorter than normal (because of the three teams), I'm going to do the format just a little different from last season. I'll post my lineup, make note of the high scorer and the low scorer for the week, the final score and my place in the standings.
