http://youtu.be/fjL-4nwnkkk Chris Johnson. Steven Jackson. Adrian Peterson. THE COLTS! Why can’t we have nice things?!? Green Bay is an unstoppable force of fantasy football goodness. I’m picking up the Packers’ ball boy on the waiver wire this week, and I fully expect him to get at least 10 touchdowns this season. But the Saints defense…… Continue reading Overreaction Monday: Why Did I Draft Chris Johnson?

Believe it or not: Brandon Lloyd, Hakeem Nicks Prove They Are Legit and More Top Scores from Week 5
This week’s top performers weren’t too surprising. A few of them we’ve heard of before, and a few of them have already been consistently working their way towards greatness over the first four weeks of the season. Then, there are the defenses.

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
Laveranues Coles copies Harrison, gets released
Let’s not get crazy here. Just because Marvin Harrison does something, that doesn’t mean all the old, aging receivers in the league have to do it. But no one told that to Laveranues Coles. Coles is so confident that he can get a long-term deal in free agency that he was willing to give up…… Continue reading Laveranues Coles copies Harrison, gets released
Foolish Thoughts on Week 15: I’m all out of love, so lost without you
It was hard to bring my thoughts together between fits of extreme sobbing after watching all the football games in a very serious, totally masculine way this weekend. Yes, I lost at Nick’s hands this week, one game away from the championship … in a game where I was “projected” to win by 50 points.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 15: I’m all out of love, so lost without you
Foolish Thoughts on Week 14: Game balls and last-quarter falls
I’m convinced that there is something in the water in Denver. If you’re in Colorado, don’t drink it. Just dump it down the drain and walk away. It must contain a chemical that turns your muscles into paper. How else would Shanahan lose four running backs in the same season — five if you count…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 14: Game balls and last-quarter falls
A Fool and His Money in Week 14
Note from Jacob: Somehow, after a rager of a game of Monopoly — yes, we are five years old — and a weekend of fantasy football talk, we got Chadam to disagree with Nick on some of this week’s picks. Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers Fools Take: CHARGERS (-9) over Raiders Nick says: I…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 14
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

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.
