It’s already Week 9. Week 9! That’s just four weeks away from the fantasy football playoffs for most of us. It’s time to start tightening up those rosters. As you exit your bye weeks, consider picking up extra running backs, wide receivers, and maybe a bang-or-bust fantasy playoff quarterback. These players could be the extra…… Continue reading On the Waiver Wire: Week 9 Pickups Blount If You Want

On the Wire: Week 9 Pickups and Must-Claims
There’s nothing glamorous about pickups at this point in the season. You’re either struggling to find meaning in your season after falling desperately behind the rest of the teams in your league or fortifying and defending your team by building a stronger bench with these free agents. But the picks are especially un-sexy this week.…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 9 Pickups and Must-Claims
Foolish Thoughts: Terrible throwbacks and games to throw back
The NFL should really give all the bad teams the same bye week. Just wait until all the worst teams have shown what they are made of, take the bottom half of the league and give them a week off to heal their wounds. Hey, we could even give the Rams a whole season off.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Terrible throwbacks and games to throw back
Braylon Edwards traded to Jets [Fantasy Impact]
Coming off the heels of allegations that he assaulted a friend of LeBron James and a Week 4 game in which Braylon Edwards caught absolutely nothing, it’s surprising to see him be swept away to the New York Jets in a trade this morning. But for the Jets, this move makes sense. They needed a…… Continue reading Braylon Edwards traded to Jets [Fantasy Impact]
On the Wire: Week 5 Pickups, Drops and Bye Week Filler
I wanted to make a switch this past weekend at defense to sub in the New Orleans Saints D/ST for the Green Bay Packers D/ST. Considering they had the same bye week and with some doubt in the Saints’ newly discovered fantasy worthiness, I was slow to make that change. I thought the Packers D/ST…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 5 Pickups, Drops and Bye Week Filler
A Fool and His Money – Week 4
Bengals (-5.5) over BROWNS The Bengals beat the Packers and Steelers in back-to-back games. The Browns finally benched Ms. Quinn, but Derek Anderson somehow managed to play worse in his second half debut. I have to imagine it’s tough for anybody to like the Browns in this one. Lions (+10) over BEARS The first step…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money – Week 4
Foolish Thoughts: The Brady Bench, Law of Averages and Josh Johnson
Since graduating college, I’ve occasionally had a dream that I was still taking finals. In the dream, I wake up and realize that I have a final that very day, but it’s for a class that I didn’t know I was taking and haven’t attended even one day that semester. Right about the time that…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: The Brady Bench, Law of Averages and Josh Johnson

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
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Hardships from Week 6
As I listened to the end of the Texas-OU game while hunched over in a car on my way to a wedding this weekend, two things occurred to me: 1) people REALLY shouldn’t get married the same weekend as the Texas-OU game and 2) there could be a large amount of rookie quarterbacks coming into…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Hardships from Week 6
Dude… Braylon Edwards
This week’s “Dude…” award was a tough call. Plenty of surprising performances tempted our hand, but in the end, you have to give it to the guy some people considered dropping last week, Braylon Edwards. The Cleveland Browns wide receiver has had a slooooow start against some of the tougher defenses in the league and…… Continue reading Dude… Braylon Edwards
