A Fantasy Perspective:  2012 NFL Draft

A Fantasy Perspective: 2012 NFL Draft

What an exciting and interesting draft last night.  Getting it finished in 3 hours was probably my favorite part.  Hopefully, the days of 5-hour rounds is in the past.  My second favorite part of the draft would have to be all of the trading of picks.  Here is a quick breakdown and rookie fantasy stars… The top three moves: The …

Week 15 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 15 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Losing Greg Jennings and DeMarco Murray is going to be rough on team owners.  The pickings are slim this late in the season, especially with all of the injuries we’ve seen this year.  In replacement of Jennings, I like James Jones and Donald Driver.  Either one of these receivers will fill in, and with Rodgers, they’ll both see production.  If …

Week 14 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 14 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 14 is looking good.  Many of us begin the playoffs this week, which means we need huge performances to keep things rolling.  There are some strong match ups out there, but its risky to take chances on “maybes”.  By now, we know what to expect from defenses and who we should be starting.  Hopefully, you didnt lose Forte last week.  …

Week 13 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 13 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Thankfully, not too many guys were lost to injury in week 12.  It can sometimes happen with the short week and the Thursday games.  Speaking of Thursday games. lets look at PHI @ SEA tomorrow night.  PHI still has an outside chance at the NFC East, but would need a monumental collapse by DAL & NYG.  New York is in …

Week 12 Wed. Waiver Wire

Week 12 Wed. Waiver Wire

Three big games tomorrow.  Get those lineups ready.  Tomorrow’s waiver additions are discussed in yesterday’s post.  If interested, look for Donald Driver holding a golden turkey. On to the Sunday games: RB’s CJ Spiller/BUF may not be ready to be “the man”, but he now has no choice.  Fred Jackson is out “indefinitely”, which is awful given the year he …

Early Waiver for Thursday players

Early Waiver for Thursday players

Everyone and their grandma knows the Packers are @ Detroit on Thursday.  Miami is @ Dallas & the Niners are @ Baltimore.  Below are a few waiver wire acquisitions to help you through the week and, maybe, the playoff weeks. Running Backs Kevin Smith/DET will be the most popular add due to his huge week against a terrible Carolina defense …

Week 11 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 11 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Ok, more injuries during week 10.  Some could spell the end of what was looking to be great success. QB’s Matt Cassell/KC is out indefinitely with an injury to his hand.  Apparently, he is in line for surgery.  This puts Tyler Palko in as starting QB against NE.  Even with a sub-par defense, this guy is a stretch to start …

Week 10 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 10 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 10: No Teams on Bye this week RB’s Id have to say that my favorite waiver wire RB right now is Kendall Hunter/SF.  He is available in 95% of leagues and could have a huge week.  NYG is poor at stopping the run this year and Frank Gore has, “surprisingly”, sprained his ankle.  Even if Gore can go, I …

Sleepers

Sleepers

Im not too sure how big these first two “sleepers” are since Ive been talking them up for a week now.  Chris Ogbonnaya/CLE is going to get the start with Hardesty & Hillis out.  He was signed by CLE off of HOU and he’s playing HOU.  Im not sure if that bodes well for him since HOU’s defense will have …

Week 9 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Week 9 Wednesday Waiver Wire

Thankfully, we did not see the kind of injuries in week 8 that we had been seeing the previous few weeks.  Sadly though, we’ve seen some under-performing.  Javon Ringer, who had 14 rushes for 60 yards, is going to see more as Chris Johnson continues to underwhelm.  Johnson just isnt hitting holes and making decisions as he has been known …
