On the Wire: Week 16 Pickups and Playoff One-offs
If you’re still playing fantasy football, your roster should be locked up pretty tight. Why are you even reading this article?
For the sake of those of you with injuries and/or in need of a weekly sub to blow away your heavily favored opponent, I guess I can still give you a few names that might [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 13
While your fantasy season might be coming to an end, there are still plenty of spreads to be picked. Here’s how it’s going down this week…
Tennessee Titans at Detroit Lions
Fools Take: Titans (-10.5) over LIONS
Nick says: How about a round of applause for the Tennessee Titans? Nobody expected an undefeated season, and it was a [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 10: Enter the tight end zone
Do yourself a favor and forget everything that happened in the first half of the season. As we’ve seen from the past two weeks, not every team is going to bow out of the season quietly. The Chiefs, 49ers and Seahawks might surprise a few top contenders before they put a nail in the 2008 [...]
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Free-for-all from Week 9
It’s time for change, America.
Bring me your injured, your underperforming, your studs gone duds. Together, we can reshape your fantasy team for the future into a team without injustice, without phantom starts (see: Willis McGahee) and without any of Shanahan’s running backs — well, maybe just one.
Yes, we can. Yes, we can. YES, WE CAN.
And [...]
Dude… Santana Moss
I think he secretly held a grudge that we didn’t pick him earlier in the season when he was looking like a champion. To prove his point, Santana Moss went off in Week 8 against the Lions and finally got his time in the spotlight here at Fools.
Moss caught nine passes for 140 yards and [...]

Peyton Manning has lost that [...]
Week 7 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Technical difficulties with our Web host had us listed as questionable for Wednesday night, but as you saw Thursday, we showed up to play at game time. We aren’t wishy-washy like Wade Phillips.
If we come into the game to answer your questions on Sunday, consider it a bonus.
Hot Hands
Matt Schaub, QB Texans vs. Lions — [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
Who is the better Manning now? I think Peyton Manning put ex-lax in his brother’s Gatorade this week. It was time to shut up the critics. Peyton gets three touchdowns; Eli gets three picks. At least in fantasy, it looks like Peyton may have reclaimed his top spot on the Manning mantel for now.
And Eli [...]
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 [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
These sudden, mysterious and largely unreported injuries have got to stop. Last week, Carson Palmer was a late scratch. This week, the victim was Matt Schaub, who was hit by a virus the night before the game.
I normally set lineups Saturday night and then let them run, but this sudden injury plague makes me want [...]
