Once again, this weekend, we get a game that could very literally end with a final score of 3-0 and a game that could have a combined score of more than 70 points. Welcome the AFC and NFC championship games. When I logged into the site to get geared up for this weekend, I got…… Continue reading NFL Divisional Championships: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

On the Wire: Waiver Wire Free-for-all from Week 9
It’s time for change, America. Bring me your injured, your underperforming, your studs gone duds. Together, we can reshape your fantasy team for the future into a team without injustice, without phantom starts (see: Willis McGahee) and without any of Shanahan’s running backs — well, maybe just one. Yes, we can. Yes, we can. YES,…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Free-for-all from Week 9
Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
There’s a lot of hotness this week, and many players not on a bye might have their best performance of the season for you. My favorite starts are Willis McGahee against Oakland and Chris Johnson against the Colts but even Cedric Benson might break 100 yards this week. Cedric Benson — let that sink in…… Continue reading Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Sneak Attacks from Week 7
It’s very likely that you have already tried to snag some of these guys. In fact, you might have had them on your roster, dropped them, picked them back up, dropped them again and let some other team roll with them for a week or two by now. But maybe it’s time to pick them…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Sneak Attacks from Week 7
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Hardships from Week 6

On the Wire: Waiver Wire Grabs from Week 5
In 2006, I drafted Clinton Portis as my lead running back. I don’t even remember who my second running back was, but, in the late rounds, I picked myself up a rookie with too many names, Maurice Jones-Drew. When Jones-Drew blew up with his big rookie season (1300+ yards and 15 TDs), I thought I…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Grabs from Week 5
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Super Snags from Week 4
Was 2008 the year to have the fifth pick in fantasy football? So far this season, it would seem that the later draft picks have gone unscathed while the early drafters suffered some major blows to their studs. Owners have had to make due with their depth from the middle rounds, the true test of…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Super Snags from Week 4
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Saviors from Week 1
A disastrous and tragic Week 1 has left plenty of teams hurting for new talent. Was there a group shot on the cover of Madden this year? Since Week 1 is always the best time to grab the waiver wire studs AND since this week was full of injuries and failures, this week’s waiver wire…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Saviors from Week 1

The 5 Minute Drill offers a solid five minutes of comprehensive analysis and visual entertainment that can help you win your fantasy season.
