Waiver Wire

Is there a greater example of the old adage, “time flies when you’re having fun” than the three short months between our fantasy drafts and fantasy playoffs? Really, I feel like it was two seconds ago that I was giving my toddler the as I frantical...

The first Waiver Wire of the season is in many ways the most critical, and difficult. Unlike subsequent weeks, when favorite targets and injury replacements are rather evident, this week is mostly reserved for correctly nabbing players poised to be contri...

Two weeks in and many fantasy owners are in panic mode.  Especially if you spent a first or second round pick on Ray Rice, Frank Gore, DeMarco Murray or David Wilson.  Unfortunately you’re in a bit of...

Now fantasy really gets fun.  Some guys were hot the first two weeks and disappeared during Week 3 (hello Eddie Royal). Others are talents of yesteryear, who have yet to get going (hello Frank Gore). Throw in the start of bye weeks and fielding the best ...

You didn’t go spending all your waiver wire money on Eddie Royal in Week 3, did you?  Ok, good.  Because unless you are the luckiest injury avoider in the world, you’re going to need to dip into those funds yet again. Sadly, Week 10...
