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:
Justin Forsett [...]

The NFL was able to avoid the injury bug for a solid 10 weeks. But injury to key NFL players each season is like death in real life, in that it cannot be cheated. As much as the loss hurts, it also seems to sprout new potential in places nobody thought to look before. Week [...]

It’s time for my top selections for Suicide Pools. If you’re looking for one sure-fire winner each week, look no further than this column. I’ll give you my top three, just in case you’ve already chosen my top selection. The roll will continue from last year where I barely ever missed.

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 [...]

It’s now week 11 and most trade deadlines have passed, but if the injury bug bit you and you still need help, I’ll tell why the waiver is your savior. . . because The Fantasy 6-Pack has you covered neighbor.

Senior Staff Writer Perry Van Hook looks at the free agent lists this week and discusses the key running backs that are doubtful or out this week.

James Casey on the other hand brings a whole lot more to the table. He is a 25-year old rookie for a reason—he spent three years in the White Sox farm system before retiring from baseball to enroll at Rice to play football. This guy is a gifted athlete, as evidenced by the fact that he played seven different positions for the Rice Owls in 2007 on his way to earning Conference USA consensus all-freshman honors.

I wanted to make sure I got the Thursday Game up in time for inspection.

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. [...]

As I was recently browsing through the current player rankings in one of my PPR leagues, I noticed the dramatic difference between current point leaders and their preseason rankings. I decided to conduct a one-man mock draft to detail how players might get drafted if a new season started today. Each “team” picked the best [...]

Our own Greg Brosh gives us some insight on what we could see from six running backs going into 2010. Who will get the axe and who could re-up their fantasy value?

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 Mort report tells us that no team is likely to pursue Larry Johnson. One surprise highlight from Week 10 was the play of Justin Forsett, RB for the Seahawks. He came in to replace Julius Jones who ended up in the hospital with bleeding in his lung and ran wild with 149 total yards and a TD. The only problem is that he faces a stout Vikings defense next week. To my eyes Forsett deserves a chance to showcase his talents the rest of the season and replace Jones as starter, but coaches don’t always see things the way fans do. Stay tuned and certainly give Forsett a chance to ride your bench this week just in case.

Also, Falcons RB Michael Turner suffered what they are calling a high ankle sprain, and is questionable to return. My bet is that he is done for the day, but watch this one closely to see if there are fantasy implications for next week. Jason Snelling looks to get a lot of second half action.

It could also be that coach Fox shuts down Williams altogether, confident enough in Jonathan Stewart and backups Tyrell Sutton and Mike Goodson to get the job done in DeAngelo’s absence.

Yes, it is the dreaded game-time decision for a 1:00 game. What is your back up plan?

The 2009 Kansas City Chiefs have been an absolute embarassment when it comes to fantasy football production. So why would they suddenly be expected to change? The answer becomes the new-face regime of the offense. If you change enough of the bad personnel who were in key positions, then you potentially inject a new life [...]

A breakdown of how to successfully conduct a fantasy football trade

Back in 2005, FantasyFootball.com senior writer Andy Pino used to write a column called “The GM Perspective”. Those of you who were inmates back in the day remember this piece. It was clearly one of the best articles we had running on the site for two straight years until Pino decided to retire to spend more time with his family. The article was a basic, weekly overview of all things fantasy, and covered players injuries, news, trends, etc. It had it all. Mr. Pino, your columns have been missed.

The former college walk-on made the Cardinals’ practice squad last season after making just about every catch thrown his way, some reportedly on acrobatic leaps and dives. After a repeat performance this preseason, his hard work paid off. Long was one of five players featured on NFL.com’s “On The Fringe”, and he ended up beating the odds to make Arizona’s final 53-man roster to begin the 2009 season.
