Depending on your league’s competitiveness and format, there usually are a few enticing waiver wire options available after each NFL Sunday. Last week there seemed to be a few more—typical for the first week—than after week two, but still some valuable commodities are floating on waivers this morning. In dynasty leagues, consider the following: Laurent Robinson (WR, Rams), Mike Sims-Walker (WR, Jaguars), and Justin Forsett (RB, Seahawks). All could be valuable ...

I was out of town last weekend, which makes it fairly difficult to give sound fantasy advice. Not the case this weekend. I will be around a computer most of this weekend—except for my mini-marathon of college football tomorrow—keeping up with all the NFL updates, so if anyone needs some last-minute start/sit advice you can hit me up via Twitter. If you have not joined the Tweeting revolution, drop a comment below. And if ...

Let's take a look at those players that have good matchups and could perform well for your fantasy football teams in Week 2. These are players you wouldn't normally start, but might be worth a second look this weekend. This is especially for those owners dealing with injuries to fantasy starters like Donovan McNabb, Anthony Gonzalez—both on my team—or LaDainian Tomlinson.   Jason Campbell, QB, Redskins Jason Campbell didn't perform all that bad against ...

Hopefully, most of the Donovan McNabb fantasy owners out there drafted a backup plan. If not, you could find yourself behind the eight ball this weekend. Unless you consider Jason Campbell. Not owned in a fair amount of leagues, Campbell has an interesting appeal early in the season. He looked decent against a great Giants' defense in Week One, holding his own for most of the game. Check his upcoming schedule: vs. St. ...

After week one, there is not much to be said about this year’s crop of rookies. Sad, but true. There were a few who took advantage of their opportunities while others did not play up to their abilities. Instead of a top-5 list this week, I will list my top two rookies and top two disappointments.   Risers Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets Not enough can be said about this guy. He has the ability ...

It happens every year. Some fantasy player blows up during week one, most of the time unowned in a majority of leagues, and every owner (and his/her mother) rushes to the waiver wire to place a claim. You know you tried to get Frisman Jackson a few years ago after his now-infamous week one aberration (eight catches, 128 yards, one touchdown). Those numbers were sick! By the end of the season, he only ...

The first week of the 2009 fantasy football season is in the books. How are your fantasy teams doing? Mine? Not so great. In five leagues, I won a grand total of one game. Ouch. The good sign is that a few of my teams were in high-scoring affairs but drew the short end of the stick. Another team went up against Drew Brees. Hopefully, week two is more kind to yours ...

Did you actually think any fantasy players would come away from week one unscathed? Not going to happen. Now, the good news for fantasy owners is that there has yet to be a Tom Brady circa 2008 season-ending injury during week one. Not only did Brady’s knee explode during the first week of the season, but so too did many fantasy owners’ playoff aspirations. But there have been significant injuries to notable fantasy ...

How are your fantasy teams this morning? Chances are if you own either of the defenses, you are feeling pretty good about the first weekend on fantasy football. Both units got their fantasy owners off to good starts. Ben Roethlisberger was more than serviceable as a QB1 last night. The interceptions were bad but the pass attempts and yardage were very nice. If Pittsburgh cannot run the ball this year, I would ...
