Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Week 16
Posted on December 21, 2011 | No CommentsKahlil Bell (8%) We thought it would be Marion Barber’s gig, but Kahlil Bell looked like the much better runner against the Seahawks, with 65 yards on the ground and 5 catches for 43 yards and a score through the air. If you have both... -
Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Week 15
Posted on December 13, 2011 | No CommentsIt’s probably fitting that there are not a lot of waiver wire pickups this week so you can stick with your playoff caliber team heading into the fantasy semi-finals next week. There were, as usual, a slew of injuries, but not as many waiver implications as there... -

Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Week 13
Posted on November 29, 2011 | No CommentsLast week, we saw a slew of injuries to runningbacks, which opened up the door for some hot pickups like Toby Gerhart and C.J. Spiller.

Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Week 10
Posted on November 8, 2011 | No CommentsRoy Helu (Owned in 31% of Yahoo leagues) There aren’t many “must-adds” this week; Roy Helu and Laurent Robinson are the only two that should be owned in every league. The rookie, Helu, carried the ball just 10 times for 41 yards, as the Skins... -
Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Week 9
Posted on November 1, 2011 | 1 CommentAntonio Brown (57%) We’ve sung Brown’s praises since he was the 5th string WR in the preseason. And we’ve told you to add him, and start him a few times. With Hines Ward injury, Brown goes from “roster depth” to a solid starting WR. Michael... -
Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Week 8
Posted on October 25, 2011 | No CommentsThis weekend’s slew of injuries raised more questions than it did answers as there are very few time-specific diagnoses with clear handcuffs. This week, we’ve got RBs and WRs only, and I’m not especially excited about any one of them. But hey, I gotta write... -
