Forgive me for the punny title. I didn’t get a lot of sleep this weekend, and I think I’m still operating on Oakland time. But that said…don’t you want four time slots of NFL football EVERY Sunday? Personally, I loved being able to go straight into another one after Sunday Night Football wrapped up, even…… Continue reading Week 6 Pickups: Are you Keenan on these Chargers?

Gronking for Rob Gronkowski Stand-ins: Replacing Gronk for the Playoffs
http://youtu.be/t0jne_g5IO4 Let’s get this straight — there is no replacing Rob Gronkowski. Contrary to popular offseason belief, he has been on pace to reproduce his miraculous 2011 season, if not exceed it. He’s the head of the pack when it comes to tight ends, and you’re not going to find those kinds of points on…… Continue reading Gronking for Rob Gronkowski Stand-ins: Replacing Gronk for the Playoffs
Here’s Ronnie: Week 12 Pickups and Jaguars
In Week 12, we find ourselves with a good supply of new faces. Injuries to LeSean McCoy, Willis McGahee, and Rob Gronkowski have not only opened doors but will also be sending several fantasy owners in every league scrounging to the wire. So be prepared for some competition. I won’t break down the FAAB bids…… Continue reading Here’s Ronnie: Week 12 Pickups and Jaguars
Really, guys, Week 1 is Too Early for a Waiver Wire
Some of you may have wondered why I didn’t post a waiver wire this week. I tried…but there just wasn’t much for me to get excited about in Week 1. I covered my favorite waiver wire pickups in my late sleepers column. If you paid attention to that, you already knew about Aaron Hernandez. (See?…… Continue reading Really, guys, Week 1 is Too Early for a Waiver Wire
On the Waiver Wire for Week 8: Matthew Stafford, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Jon Kitna are the quarterbacks you seek
The pain continues. We lost a lot of good men out there. If you were already struggling to replace Jermichael Finley (like me) or fill the hole left by Dallas Clark (like me), I hope that you weren’t also relying on Tony Romo (again…like me) who is now out for the rest of the fantasy…… Continue reading On the Waiver Wire for Week 8: Matthew Stafford, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Jon Kitna are the quarterbacks you seek
On the Wire: The Must-Haves, Week 14 Pickups for Fantasy Football Playoffs
There aren’t many names out there that I haven’t mentioned previously, but if you’re strengthening your roster for a playoff run, some favorable schedules make these players more lucrative grabs than others. If you didn’t secure a quarterback with a favorable schedule during the fantasy playoffs, or if you are worried about your starter sitting…… Continue reading On the Wire: The Must-Haves, Week 14 Pickups for Fantasy Football Playoffs
On the Wire: Week 10 Pickups, Slim Pickings but Quick Mobile Picks
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
Week 7 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: LenWhale fall down, go boom
Patrick Crayton just straight up offended me by complaining that he wasn’t told that he was being replaced in the starting lineup. Seriously? But seriously? But seriously? I guess he was the last to know. I knew two weeks ago. Let’s just drop the act, Crayton. You saw Miles Austin have the best day of…… Continue reading Week 7 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: LenWhale fall down, go boom
On the Wire: Week 6 Pickups, Sleepers and Bye Week Saviors
He did it. I can’t believe he did it. Braylon Edwards, of stone hands fame, caught almost everything that came his way in his debut with the Jets on Monday night. It’s possible to argue that he was robbed of a second touchdown on the night when a circus catch down the sideline got reviewed…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 6 Pickups, Sleepers and Bye Week Saviors
On the Wire: Week 5 Pickups, Drops and Bye Week Filler
I wanted to make a switch this past weekend at defense to sub in the New Orleans Saints D/ST for the Green Bay Packers D/ST. Considering they had the same bye week and with some doubt in the Saints’ newly discovered fantasy worthiness, I was slow to make that change. I thought the Packers D/ST…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 5 Pickups, Drops and Bye Week Filler
