As we head into week 11 with tonight’s Thursday Night Football match-up between the Panthers and the Dolphins, let’s look at two intriguing running backs that were this week’s waiver wire grabs this week.  In most cases, Justin Forsett was grabbed with a high waiver priority or he was bid on heavy in waiver wire bidding:

David Hawthorne gets my vote for IDP waiver wire pick-up of 2009 and it’s guys like that, that can have a huge impact for your IDP squad.  The work is still far from over as we head down the home stretch of the fantasy regular season.  So, keep up with the injuries and the guys [...]

We’re only a few weeks out until the fantasy playoffs and some key players have gone down with an injury this past week.  Now’s the time to hit the wire and pick-up that key player or handcuff that can help your team down the stretch:
Running Backs
1. Jason Snelling (ATL)
2. Bernard Scott (CIN)
3. Larry Johnson (CIN)
4. [...]

Week 10 was kind of a crazy week, eh?  Analysts and experts questioning Belichick on a 4th down call?  A former 1st overall pick finally getting benched and some other tidbits around the league as we get ready for the bloodbath that will be the week 10 MNF game between Cleveland and Baltimore:
-Bill Belichick made [...]

The weeks will begin earlier now that Thursday Night Football has begun, so you’re going to need to hit the wire a bit sooner than normal.  I know this article is coming a tad late but, here are some last minute looks at some IDPs that could help your squad down the stretch of the [...]

Some might call them busts.  Some might call them lousy, over-paid under-achievers.  I call them the squad that was over-valued as relates to their ADP (average draft position).  These were the guys that were getting drafted much earlier than expected, or, not living up their lofty draft positions.  I try not to account for time [...]

Well, we’re headed into week 10 and the last of the byes are scheduled (Houston and the New York Giants).  This also marks the beginning of Thursday Night Football (for those with the NFL Network).  San Francisco and Chicago will begin the ceremonies.  Through week 10, your waiver wire will consist of the lowest of [...]

Good evening everyone.  Just some quick news and notes around the league before Monday Night Football kicks off:
-This is the last week for byes.  Unfortunately, one of the top ranked QBs and Andre Johnson are on bye
-Steve Slaton owners can also be thankful that the Texans are on bye
-Week 10 also begins Thursday Night Football. [...]

The Fantasyfootball.com Staff League is a league that is housed on fantasybowl.com and features 14 members of the site’s staff.  My week 8 match-up was against Brian Pearson’s Six Kings squad that featured Eli Manning, Ray Rice, Marion Barber, DeSean Jackson and Frank Gore.  Looking at then lineup compared to mine, I figured I had [...]

Week 9 is upon us and you’re probably thinking to yourself, are there anymore viable IDP options on the wire at this point?  I am here to say….yes.  Depending on your league size, there still should be some viable options on the wire for your squad.  Pickens might be slim but, there’s always a diamond [...]

Well, now that Gary Kubiak has officially gone Shanahan and installing an RBBC in Houston, now’s the time to comb the wire for that all elusive, golden ticket for the rest of the season.  Here are some names to look out for on your league’s wire as we head into week 9:
Running Backs
1. Ryan Moats [...]

It really is quite amazing what kind of withdrawals you have when you don’t have web access.  I felt totally disconnected from the world yesterday and I couldn’t login to make a lineup change, which might have cost me in one league.  But, here are my observations from around the league as week 8 comes [...]

It’s Halloween weekend, so gear up and empty out your pillow cases for some trick or treating.  Don’t forget to turn your clocks back as daylight savings ends this weekend, which gives you an extra hour to agonize over your fantasy football team this Sunday.  This is going to be a shortened version of the [...]

As we head into week 8 of the season, it’s time to evaluate your team and adjust your expectations from your pre-season projections.  It doesn’t appear that the 2008 version of Mario Williams will be walking through that door anytime soon.  Here are my IDP rankings for the rest of 2009.  Hopefully they help to [...]

Well, we’re just about at the half-way point of the season and at this point, you pretty much know where you stand on whether or not you have a shot at the playoffs.  There have been a quite a few under-achievers this season (Matt Forte, you have a lot of angry owners staring you down [...]

Week 8 and just a bit over the half-way point of the fantasy season.  The waiver wire waters are quite murky, so it’s going to take some clear eyes to find those diamonds in the rough.  Like most wires and league sizes, the wire can be extremely deep or extremely thin.  Here are some guys [...]

Is there anyone worth adding from the wire at this point in the season?  There’s always someone on the wire worth adding depending on your need, whether it be injury or bye-week.  Chances are, depending on league size, your wire at this point is extremely shallow.  Well, time to get the goggles and oxygen mask [...]

Week 7 is almost in the books with just the Monday night game left to play.  I didn’t get a chance to watch a whole of football yesterday but, here are some observations on what I’ve been able to piece together:
-To the NFL fans, I apologize for the Cleveland Browns.  Although Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant [...]

I can’t believe we’re just at the half-way point for most fantasy leagues.  It feels like only yesterday we were agonizing over cheat sheets, projections and rankings.  As we head into the week, there have been quite a few significant injuries and another round of bye weeks.  Some of the major news was Will Witherspoon [...]

Look at the picture to the left.  That is a picture of the #1 QB in most fantasy formats for the 2009 season through 6 weeks.  He’s the QB I targeted heavy in all of the leagues I’m in (at least the ones that require offensive players).  I drafted him as my QB in 3 [...]
