Updated: Wed, Nov. 11. I’ve been in California this week at a conference. I don’t know how these people handle football starting at 10 a.m. on Sundays. It’s just plain weird. But the important thing here is that I haven’t had Internet all week. Sorry, hotel, but I am not going to pay a limb…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 10 Pickups, Slim Pickings but Quick Mobile Picks

On the Wire: Week 3 Pickups and Sleepers
If your team is 0-2, you could use the help, but don’t do anything crazy. I know of a league where a man dropped Matt Schaub after his pitiful Week 1 performance. I will name no names, but I’m pretty sure he regrets that now. He should. Your top picks deserve some time to find…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 3 Pickups and Sleepers
Hair Model Mock Draft 2009: Tweaking the System
There was actually a mock draft that I participated in last week besides the one that I let the ESPN autodraft bot destroy by filling the bench with quarterbacks. The fine young hair models from Fantasy Football Writers with Hair put together a 10-team, 16-round mock draft with a few of the Fanhouse crew, reps…… Continue reading Hair Model Mock Draft 2009: Tweaking the System
Six Well-Received Dynasty Wide Receivers for 2009 Sleepers and Keepers
We started our dynasty talk with a look at the quarterbacks on benches you may have forgotten as the NFL draft approaches, but now it’s time to refresh your memory about a few receivers that could be valuable for keeper leagues and dynasty leagues. Some even have a shot at fantasy stardom in 2009. Demetrius…… Continue reading Six Well-Received Dynasty Wide Receivers for 2009 Sleepers and Keepers
Divisional Playoffs, Part 2: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
So the Cardinals have game — and a run game at that. Of course, who really needs a balanced attack when Larry Fitzgerald can do whatever he wants on the field and you benefit from more than five turnovers? Looks like the Buzzsaw is bound for the next round, so who will get you there…… Continue reading Divisional Playoffs, Part 2: 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
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 5: And another three bite the dust?
These sudden, mysterious and largely unreported injuries have got to stop. Last week, Carson Palmer was a late scratch. This week, the victim was Matt Schaub, who was hit by a virus the night before the game. I normally set lineups Saturday night and then let them run, but this sudden injury plague makes me…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
Week 5 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
I am not sure who won the VP debate last night. Both political parties seem to believe their candidate stepped up to the plate. The NFL is still pretty split in making a decision this election year. I do know that Al Davis likes Sarah Palin — mostly because he believes she’s youthful and has…… Continue reading Week 5 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
