Week 9 Pickups: Good Moncrief! 4 Wide Receivers to Stash

Week 8 was a fantasy feast and gave us a peek at what a few young receivers could do if given more opportunity. If you need an immediate play, check back on previous waiver wires for suggested pickups. But if you’re looking for a difference maker down the stretch, one of these four might be…… Continue reading Week 9 Pickups: Good Moncrief! 4 Wide Receivers to Stash

Week 8 Pickups: What can Bryce Brown do for you?

Amazingly, it’s another good week for the running back needy, and some of you likely lost your starters this week with C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson going down. I would have hoped you’d replace Spiller by now, but I know it’s hard to give up on those preseason plans. I’ll typically assume most previous pickup…… Continue reading Week 8 Pickups: What can Bryce Brown do for you?

Week 7 Pickups: Andre Holmes needs a home on you roster

I’m enjoying riding the Branden Oliver train after his performance in Week 6. While he didn’t do as well as he did in Week 5, he held up well as a feature back with 30 carries. I’ll take that all day until Ryan Mathews returns. Ben Tate, Branden Oliver, and Ronnie Hillman have all proved…… Continue reading Week 7 Pickups: Andre Holmes needs a home on you roster

Week 6 Pickups: Branden Oliver be in your lineup

It’s a good week to get some bench running backs as we had three major injuries to Rashad Jennings, Montee Ball, and Donald Brown, which opened the door for some promising options. Many of my teams are hurting so I’ll be setting plenty of waivers. Here’s where I’m putting my chips this week. Ben Tate…… Continue reading Week 6 Pickups: Branden Oliver be in your lineup

Week 5 Pickups: Asiata told you to pick him up last week

No season-changers emerged this week, but we did finally see more of Matt Asiata with Teddy Bridgewater taking over the reigns for Minnesota. If this offense keeps moving, he could finally be a solid contributor in Adrian Peterson’s absence. I’m going running back heavy in this edition with some options and stashes reaching a “must…… Continue reading Week 5 Pickups: Asiata told you to pick him up last week

Week 4 Pickups: You’re my boy, Alfred Blue

We just can’t catch a break, can we? This week we had another rash of injuries. Those injuries combined with the first bye weeks will make the waiver wires pretty active this week. At least we have a few new stars like our boy Blue. http://youtu.be/pL8WuOqgDtQ Let’s jump right into my list. Alfred Blue Lorenzo…… Continue reading Week 4 Pickups: You’re my boy, Alfred Blue

Week 3 Pickups: We lost a lot of good men out there

We lost of really good men out there. So many good men. http://youtu.be/VYrEQbtV2V4 But here we are in Week 3. Somehow, we have to put the pieces back together. As an owner of Mark Ingram and Adrian Peterson, I’m hurting so the RB help on the wire is welcome. Here are my top targets. Ahmad…… Continue reading Week 3 Pickups: We lost a lot of good men out there

Week 1 surprises rarely turn into fantasy studs

The recent track record of Week 1 surprise players isn’t good. How many have played well in Week 1 and gone on to finish as a top-shelf Fantasy option at their position? Over the last two years, the answer is two: Alfred Morris in 2012 and Julius Thomas in 2013. Two! Over two years. Still…… Continue reading Week 1 surprises rarely turn into fantasy studs

Week 2 Waiver Wire: Can Josh Gordon get a vote?

The drug vote saga drags on, leaving the suspensions for Josh Gordon and Wes Welker up in the air. Is it worth stashing Gordon at this point if he’s still out there? Probably. I’m still concerned about how much of Gordon’s suspension will actually be reduced, but his abilities as a top-5 fantasy football receiver when he takes the field…… Continue reading Week 2 Waiver Wire: Can Josh Gordon get a vote?

Week 13 Starts: Be thankful you made it this far

We’ll keep things short and sweet this week so you can get back to enjoying those leftovers. We didn’t cover waiver wire picks this week because turkey is distracting, but you can peruse the late additions suggested by FantasyPros, ESPN, Rotoworld, and Keepers. Buffalo Bills D/ST…oh, how I wish I could get you. When in…… Continue reading Week 13 Starts: Be thankful you made it this far
