Full Disclosure: Practicing what we preach

We always get asked on a weekly basis how our own Fantasy teams are doing. You see us take part in certain mock drafts in the preseason, but after that we usually don't follow up in a public forum.

Well, not any more.

This season, my colleague Dave Richard and I will be completely transparent with our various Fantasy teams. You can see five of my leagues, as well as five of his, as we alternate this Full Disclosure column on a weekly basis.

We'll focus on tough lineup decisions, waiver moves made throughout the week, trade offers, etc. After all, like you, we play Fantasy Football as well -- and we want to win.

I've decided to focus on two leagues we promoted on the site: Our 12-team experts draft, which features members of the CBSSports.com staff, and our 14-team podcast dynasty league that Dave and I did with 12 listeners to our daily show.

I'll also follow three leagues that I take part in with friends. One is a 14-team standard league, another is a 12-team point per reception league and then a 10-team keeper league. In total, I'm playing in 14 leagues this season.

The leagues here are all competitive with active owners, and everyone wants to beat us since we write about Fantasy Football for a living. But that's the kind of challenge we live for.

Hopefully we'll be writing about several playoff teams and even a couple of championships. And as you follow along, you will share in our joy or read about our frustration.

Now, let the Fantasy season begin.

10-team keeper league

This is currently my longest-running league going back to 2002, and I've won the league twice in 2003-04. Last year, I went 12-1 heading into the playoffs before losing in the first round. Talk about frustrating.

The interesting thing with this league, where Matt Forte was my keeper, is we don't penalize for turnovers with

six points for passing touchdowns. It makes for a high-scoring format, but quarterbacks have tremendous value.

For this week, I like Matt Schaub's matchup over Carson Palmer, and I'm going with Joseph Addai ahead of Ray Rice even though both should do well. Those were my tough decisions for Week 1.

12-team CBSSports.com League

It's always fun to face your boss in the first week of the season, so hopefully our Editorial Director, Peter Madden, isn't reading this (uh oh). Still, I feel confident in my lineup in this standard-scoring league.

I'm not a fan of starting a wide receiver in the flex spot, but I love the three guys I can roll out this week with Marques Colston, Greg Jennings and Chad Ochocinco based on their matchups. I'm also benching Jay Cutler in favor of Matt Hasselbeck, who is the CBSSports.com Start of the Week.

The biggest decision I have to make is starting Mike Bell over Donald Brown, Felix Jones or Jonathan Stewart. With Pierre Thomas (knee) possibly out, I'm rolling the dice on Bell, but I would switch to Jones if Thomas makes a quick recovery by Sunday.

12-team point per reception league

In this league you get a point per reception, but only after three catches. We also favor a strong DST with points for yards allowed on top of sacks, interceptions and fumble recoveries.

I loaded up on receiver in this league on Draft Day with Colston, Jennings, Anthony Gonzalez and Eddie Royal as my four picks after taking Adrian Peterson at No. 1 overall. That left me a little thin at running back, but I should be fine with Tim Hightower, Stewart and Ahmad Bradshaw.

Once again, I'm benching Matt Ryan in favor of Matt Hasselbeck. Ryan's matchup against the Dolphins isn't great, but Hasselbeck should thrive against the Rams. And I'm going with Gonzalez over Royal for my flex spot, but that's a decision I'll have to make on a weekly basis.

14-team standard league

This is another league where I loaded up on wide receiver early and now have to start Gonzalez at my flex spot. Not ideal, but in a 14-team league he should perform well on a weekly basis. He would obviously be better in a PPR format.

I'm also rolling the dice with Bell again. I'll be playing the matchups each week with my second running back, but I'm confident in Ward and Bradshaw for the long haul, with one or both having a breakout season.

I didn't plan on drafting three quarterbacks, but Ben Roethlisberger was too good to pass up and will be trade bait during the season. Remember, in a 14-team league, quarterbacks are hard to come by, and another owner got stuck with Matt Cassel and JaMarcus Rusell as his tandem. Ouch.

14-team Podcast Dynasty League

Dave and I ended up with 12 knowledgeable owners from our podcast audience, and they made the draft hard. I tried to take players who can do well now but also set up my roster for years to come.

We're going to keep 10 players heading into 2010, but my decisions for this week focus on the No. 2 wide receiver and the flex spot. I went into the draft expecting Stewart to be the flex, and Lee Evans to be the No. 2 receiver.

But Evans has been terrible against the Patriots in his career, so he's out for this week. Breaston gets the nod with Anquan Boldin (hamstring) questionable to start.

Stewart, who is coming off the Achilles' injury in the preseason, is going to play against the Eagles. But he isn't better than Cadillac Williams in Week 1, which is why Cadillac is in the starting lineup.
