Congrats, fools. If you’re still following pickups at this point in the season, you made the playoffs. I guess there are some of you out there who may be seeking out ways to beef up your keeper or dynasty team for next year but for the large majority of you, playoffs. Good work. I hope…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 15 Pickups and Waiver Wire Grabs for Playoffs

Foolish Thoughts on Week 14: Game balls and last-quarter falls
I’m convinced that there is something in the water in Denver. If you’re in Colorado, don’t drink it. Just dump it down the drain and walk away. It must contain a chemical that turns your muscles into paper. How else would Shanahan lose four running backs in the same season — five if you count…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 14: Game balls and last-quarter falls
Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
You’re obviously starting your studs at this point. For many of you, it’s the playoffs. For others, it’s the last week before the playoffs (and you should hate that your championship game is in Week 17, where anything goes). This week, whether you are in the playoffs are about to be, is a critical one.…… Continue reading Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
On the Wire: Week 14 Pickups and Playoff Late Bloomers from Week 13
Now, don’t go quitting the waiver wire on me because you are in the playoffs. You know that fifth wide receiver of yours has terrible matchups from here on out, and it’d be nice to replace him with a guy who has upside. Even if you don’t need players, now more than ever, it’s important…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 14 Pickups and Playoff Late Bloomers from Week 13
Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
What was happened to the NFL this weekend? After the miserable Tennessee Titans clobbering of the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys butchering of the Seattle Seahawks, I thought at leas the Thursday Night Football matchup of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals might be mildly interesting. Of course, I thought it would be…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
Week 13 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
A lot of the action already went down on Thursday, but there are still a few sneaky starts and player concerns this week. Here are a few players that might help or hurt you in staking your claim for a playoff spot on this fine Sunday. Hot Hands Chad Pennington, QB Dolphins vs. Rams –…… Continue reading Week 13 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
On the Wire: Week 13 Pickups and Waiver Wire Reserves for the Playoffs
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, fools! This week, with playoffs right around the corner, you probably don’t need a lot of players to solidify your lineup. If you are looking for gems, go digging through our old waiver wire posts from this season. Still, a few guys just became relevant or might become relevant…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 13 Pickups and Waiver Wire Reserves for the Playoffs
Foolish Thoughts on Week 12: What happened to my weekend
As you might have guessed, my weekend didn’t quite go as planned. You see, I got a new day job in Dallas — and no, it’s not as backup quarterback for the Cowboys despite the fact that Brad Johnson didn’t put up much of a fight. If you’d rather skip the story and get straight…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 12: What happened to my weekend
Week 12 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
I don’t even know why I am awake right now at 6 a.m. on Sunday. Actually, that’s a lie. I’m awake right now because I am infused with truck stop coffee, the kind of coffee that fills you with enough energy to punch a wall with your head … twice. Needless to say, it’s been…… Continue reading Week 12 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
On the Wire: Week 12 Pickups and Waiver Wire Remains from Week 11
By now, you’re probably headed in one of two directions with your team: prepping for the playoffs or moping in a puddle of your own tears. If you’ve got a legit shot at the playoff picture, you want to start fortifying your team with the backups to all your studs and some average players who…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 12 Pickups and Waiver Wire Remains from Week 11
