http://youtu.be/12KFuhIyDyM I’d also add Isaiah Pead, Tim Tebow, and David Wilson (might wait until we see him play Thursday night) to the droppable list Cecil offers up unless you’re in a deeper league. If you need the spot for a more promising waiver wire pickup, don’t be afraid to let these guys walk this week.…… Continue reading Time to drop Ronnie Brown, Fred Davis, and Braylon Edwards

Unleash the Handcuffs: Andre Brown, Bilal Powell, Daryl Richardson are Week 3 Pickups
Week 2 brought the injuries, now didn’t it? I can’t say I enjoyed watching Steven Jackson sit through the second half…especially after he was doing so well before he sat down. Aaron Hernandez owners may still crying after seeing him go back to the locker room without putting any points on the board. Of all the…… Continue reading Unleash the Handcuffs: Andre Brown, Bilal Powell, Daryl Richardson are Week 3 Pickups
Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups: Are you who we thought you were?
It was an unusual Week 1, but at least with surprises comes a list of potential pickups to improve our fantasy teams. Below I’ve listed some players you might consider claiming this week if they are not owned in your leagues. I’ve listed them in the order of preference, but I’ve also guesstimated what percentage…… Continue reading Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups: Are you who we thought you were?
Robert Turbin, Austin Collie, and More Players Who Should Be Owned in Week 1
http://youtu.be/t45ECPDWIRc I thought I’d let Cecil Lammey kick off this year’s waiver wire discussion with this video for Footballguys TV. To give you a little more to work with, here’s my list of players who should be on more rosters to start the season. Quarterbacks Jake Locker, QB, Titans — What’s not to like…… Continue reading Robert Turbin, Austin Collie, and More Players Who Should Be Owned in Week 1
Is Dallas Cowboys WR Kevin Ogletree 2012’s Laurent Robinson?
After 8 catches, 114 yards, and 2 touchdowns against the Giants, you might be rushing out to claim Kevin Ogletree on the waiver wire as this year’s Laurent Robinson. Not so fast. http://twitter.com/FantasyBuddha/status/243564595195834369 While he’s certainly proven he can perform when called upon, Ogletree’s been on the Cowboys’ roster long enough and been named an…… Continue reading Is Dallas Cowboys WR Kevin Ogletree 2012’s Laurent Robinson?
If you're looking for a bang-or-bust QB2 to stash behind an elite QB1, put a claim in on Russell Wilson. The Seattle offense may not be explosive, but Wilson showed his ability to produce big fantasy weeks this preseason. If he does surprise us all by Cam Newton-ing the first few weeks of the season,… Continue reading Don’t let Russell Wilson start the year on your waiver wire
Say Helu to Week 13 Pickups
Watching the Giants get utterly destroyed by the Saints on Monday Night Football forced me to dwell on one of my mistakes this season — I never should have dropped Victor Cruz. While he looked like a fluke after his big breakout performance, Cruz has come through the byes as one of the best wide…… Continue reading Say Helu to Week 13 Pickups
This Kevin Smith is not Too Fat to Fly in Week 12 Pickups
I can’t be certain that I covered all of this week’s best waiver wire grabs because, to be honest, after Adrian Peterson went down and rode out of the stadium on a cart, I went into shock and then into a hysterical state from which I am only now emerging. Is Twilight still a thing?…… Continue reading This Kevin Smith is not Too Fat to Fly in Week 12 Pickups
Moore to live for in Week 11 Pickups
It’s getting to be that time. The fantasy playoffs are near. Records are shaking out. If you’re set to make a deep playoff run, you should be reshaping your team to play it’s best fantasy football in Weeks 14-16. Of course, that’s assuming you’re all playing championship games in Week 16, which is the only…… Continue reading Moore to live for in Week 11 Pickups
The Tashard Choice Is Yours in Week 10 Pickups
I have a lot of fantasy football to catch up on since I entered the married world, including several episodes of The League to clean off the DVR, but I’ll get right to it this week. When it comes to free agents, I was lucky in that no real breakout candidates emerged in my absence.…… Continue reading The Tashard Choice Is Yours in Week 10 Pickups
