On the Wire: Week 13 Pickups and Waiver Wire Reserves for the Playoffs
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.
Still, a few guys just became relevant or might become relevant in the [...]
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 [...]
Dude… Braylon Edwards
This week’s “Dude…” award was a tough call. Plenty of surprising performances tempted our hand, but in the end, you have to give it to the guy some people considered dropping last week, Braylon Edwards.
The Cleveland Browns wide receiver has had a slooooow start against some of the tougher defenses in the league and just [...]
Week 6 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
It’s about time some of the fantasy studs broke out this year. This week has some matchups to watch. If you ‘bought low’ on guys like Ryan Grant and Maurice Jones-Drew, picked up Deuce McAllister or drafted Bernard Berrian for depth, this week should show you what they’re worth.
For those of you who may have [...]
Week 4 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
This week’s bye shouldn’t have caught you by surprise, but the characters you are left to start might. Strangely enough, many of the players that you might have drafted late or gotten on the cheap have great plays this week.
Make sure you don’t forget about these guys, and as always, any start-or-sit questions asked in [...]
Week 3 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Obviously, things change in fantasy football. There’s no Tom Brady, and therefore, no Randy Moss. Offenses in Seattle, Cincinnati and Cleveland are in shambles. Jacksonville keeps turning it over, and the Denver Broncos might have the most explosive offense of 2008.
Shanny, we knew you had it in you. I won’t even say that I called [...]
Week 2 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Don’t get all reactionary when you are setting your lineups this week. If your stud disappointed in his first showing — and there is no evidence supporting his failure, i.e. horrible line in Jacksonville and St. Louis — just forget Week 1 happened.
This week, we’ll move into more of a Q&A mode with the start-or-sit [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 1
Now that we have the explanation out of the way, let’s talk Week 1 picks.
Jacob’s Ed. Note: Note that due to some compulsive gambling this weekend, we didn’t get the Week 1 picks up before the games. If you didn’t notice, congratulations — you rock. Starting Week 2, picks should be up prior to the [...]
Week 1 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
I’d like to do it up big for our start/sit coverage this season. Rather than just spouting off names, why don’t we add a little element of interactivity?
I’ll starting things off with a few players that could do it up big or stink this week, and you can drop any questions you have in the [...]
Fantasy Football Fools’ 2008 Average Joe Mock Draft
I know it’s a little late to be posting a mock draft. Believe me. I know you all drafted already — well, hopefully, you drafted already.
I wish I could have gotten this one edited sooner, but the rush of preseason football and real drafts took hold of me and delayed the posting. Next time, I’ll [...]
