If a TV show was going to tackle the decision to circumcise a child, we all knew The League was going to do it in the most mature way possible, including the requisite side bet based on a husband-wife fantasy faceoff. And I don’t think any of us were surprised how it turned out. Blame…… Continue reading The League S04E02: The Hoodie is a Metaphor

Week 11 Pickups: Scraping the bottom of the barrel
It’s truly getting slim on the waiver wire at this stage in the season. Barring major injury, the Zeke suspension might be the last significant shift in player value. You should still be stashing to prepare for your playoff run, but the excitement may be coming to an end in the weekly waiver wire search.…… Continue reading Week 11 Pickups: Scraping the bottom of the barrel
Week 10 Pickups: Time for Fitzmagic
It’s becoming ever harder to field a quarterback with injuries plaguing the position up and down the fantasy ranks. With that in mind, we’ll start by noting that Josh McCown and Ryan Fitzpatrick are both viable options, especially this week as they face off. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/927622917894139904 Fitzpatrick gets the start in the wake of Jameis Winston’s…… Continue reading Week 10 Pickups: Time for Fitzmagic
Week 9 Pickups: Trades on Trades on Trades
After one of the most active trade deadlines in recent memory, the waiver wire has a few new options this week. Did you keep up with all the transactions? https://twitter.com/FantasyFools/status/925361973189136384 Kelvin Benjamin is now a Buffalo Bill. Jay Ajayi is an Eagle. And Jimmy Garoppolo is now the soon-to-be starter in San Francisco. But, most…… Continue reading Week 9 Pickups: Trades on Trades on Trades
Week 8 Pickups: Ghouls, Goblins, and Ghostly Running Back Streamers
There’s not a lot to get excited about on this week’s waiver wire. We find ourselves choosing between a lot of options that are less than likely to pan out for more than a few games. Those seeking running back help can look first to Oakland where Marshawn Lynch should sit out Week 8 for…… Continue reading Week 8 Pickups: Ghouls, Goblins, and Ghostly Running Back Streamers
Week 7 Pickups: Replacing Aaron Rodgers
No one likes to see a top quarterback injured, especially not the consensus No. 1 fantasy quarterback. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in that position this week. Before the season, a team with both Aaron Rodgers and David Johnson seemed like a juggernaut. Now, that owner would be looking to save their season. It’s late in…… Continue reading Week 7 Pickups: Replacing Aaron Rodgers
Week 6 Pickups: Adrian Peterson is for the birds
This week’s waiver wire is a great reminder that, if your roster needed help, it might have been better to make moves last week. Choices are limited if you didn’t stash, but, if your league is slow to adapt, perhaps you’ll find some of last week’s gems or this week’s leftovers available. Though Latavius Murray…… Continue reading Week 6 Pickups: Adrian Peterson is for the birds
Week 5 Pickups & Stashes: Cooking Up Replacement Running Backs
Injuries once again bring a new slate to the waiver wire rankings this week. Top of the list is Latavius Murray who expects to see the majority of early down work for the Minnesota Vikings without Dalvin Cook. A sneaky pickup for those not willing to go big in FAAB bidding for Murray or who…… Continue reading Week 5 Pickups & Stashes: Cooking Up Replacement Running Backs
Week 4 Pickups: Injuries are for the Smallwood of heart
With any injury comes opportunity in fantasy football. This week, the door opens for Wendell Smallwood to see an increased role for the Eagles after Darren Sproles’ injury. We may have seen the last of Sproles as he had already stated this would be his final season, and my PPR teams will miss him. Smallwood…… Continue reading Week 4 Pickups: Injuries are for the Smallwood of heart
Week 3 Pickups: Carson Carson Carson Carson Carson Chameleon
Week 2 wasn’t quite as exciting for pickup hunting as Week 1, but, with two weeks down, we have a little more clarity on how valuable these free agents could be for your team this season. Looking back on last week’s list, Javorius “Buck” Allen appears to be the top of the class. His role…… Continue reading Week 3 Pickups: Carson Carson Carson Carson Carson Chameleon
