On the Wire: Week 12 Pickups and Waiver Wire Remains from Week 11

On the Wire: Week 11 Pickups and Waiver Wire Veterans from Week 10
By now, your season may be over, but there’s no reason to start cutting players like the Raiders unless they are still underperforming.

On the Wire: Waiver Wire Winnings from Week 8

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
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
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Grabs from Week 5

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.

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 Gems from Week 3
