It's mid-week and you all know what that means - rankings, start/sit and all matters of fantasy goodness. Let's have at it.

I think we might bust out the ol' firewood and use our fireplace for the first time tonight. Our old house is drafty and November is coming to an end with some chilly nights here. I do love fall so I'll be sad to see it go, especially since it's that bittersweet time of year when every week of the football season is increasingly entertaining from a playoffs perspective (both real and fake football) and yet you know it's coming to an end all too soon.

Hope you all enjoyed the games yesterday and most of all had a wonderful Thanksgiving off to celebrate and relax with family and friends. My brother- and sister-in-law are en route with their daughter who is just a few months younger than our son...so the next few days should be full of good, crazy times. Here's the latest on our standings in the FantasyPros.com's Start/Sit Accuracy Challenge - we're in 5th place but it's a tight race my friends.

I know it's a crazy travel week for many of you but here's hoping the upcoming long weekend means you'll have some extra time to kick around a few fantasy sites here. I'm hunkering down at home for the holidays - we've got family coming to visit, my recovering father-in-law to dote on, and an unreal quantity of leaves to rake. Oh and a little something awesome called football. Onto today's links...

Thanks for your patience with my posting schedule today - we were traveling back home to Knoxville. Our little dude did a great job flying again today, he actually conked out for basically the whole flight. Unfortunately this is a bit of a crazy week in our household with my father-in-law having unexpected surgery over the weekend (he's recovering well) so I'll try and keep the normal posting up...but I know many of you probably have wacky weeks anyway with the Thanksgiving holiday. So before folks start traveling and turkey-ing, let's get to the waiver wire links and of course Week 11 recaps.

Greetings from northern Virginia where I'm enjoying time with the fam and dispatching this week's consensus picks for Week 11's starts and sits.

What a long day - sorry it has taken me so long to get this post up but between our travels and time with the family (not to mention basking in the glow of the Broncos' victory!), it has been a tightly packed day. Our son was a rockstar on the plane (best 2 toys by the way? The ol' barf bag - unused of course - and a slinky) but somehow in the midst of it I ended up with a fever, so word to the wise that I'm hopefully not in some crazy feverish state and messing up all the links tonight or sending you to wacky sites out there.

Tomorrow morning my husband, son, and I are flying up to spend a long weekend with my family in Arlington, Virginia. It's a little pre-Thanksgiving visit that happens to coincides with a conference that my husband is presenting at over the weekend. We haven't flown with my son since he started walking and loving his independence so this should be an interesting flight. I'll try and get my normal posts up but I might be off schedule a bit through Monday. In the meantime, get your thinking caps on and submit your start/sit decisions for FantasyPros.com's weekly challenge . This week if you get all 10 prediction correct, you'll win access to FantasyPros.com's My Playbook - take a look at some screen shots of the sweetness you'd have access to if you win.

I have an amazing track record with The Itsy Bitsy Spider. I don't know what it is about that tune, but I'd say about 85% of the time it silences our unhappy toddler and lulls him into a far more agreeable state. Yes, it must be sung repeatedly until your mouth might just fail you and no words escape - or perhaps you start trying it in different accents, volumes, and voices until any other adult with you decides the Itsy Bitsy Spider must cease immediately for sanity reasons. But seriously, the thing is a miracle worker. Car freak out? Try the Itsy Bitsy. Hand motions not even needed. Major flopping and rolling during a crucial diaper change moment? Less effective then, but the Itsy Bitsy still often pulls through. Major hats off to the Itsy Bitsy creator. If you're looking for a QB to help pull you through Week 11 in Itsy Bitsy style...well, could be a tough week for that. But I've got a bevy of links here to help you make some lineup decisions. Remember there's ...

Today is my sister's anniversary - three years ago the family and about a bajillion friends (my sister is the most social of social butterflies) rolled up to Vermont for a cool, cloudy, and beautiful weekend to celebrate. Happy anniversary to my sister and brother-in-law.  Anyway, two of my teams could use some serious help for Week 11 and beyond if I'm going to make it to the playoffs. Perhaps you're like me and in desperate need of a Matt Schaub replacement and trades just aren't happening. If so, good news, I've got tons of links with advice here...

I was just transported back to my junior year of high school by listening to a ridiculous amount of Bush's Sixteen Stone album, all thanks to Razzball.com's Week 10, Everything is Zen , whose title made me think of a Bush song. My sixteen-year-old self was a Comedown and Glycerine fan and it's somewhat amazing that half a lifetime (for me!) later, I think they still hold their weight pretty well. But really most of my all-time favorite albums all sprung from the early to mid 90s (Ten, August and Everything After) so perhaps I'm just stuck in a 90s music phase...in fact, does anyone even think in the album mindset anymore? Anyway moving on from music to our more standard fantasy football chit chat...I hope you all had a happy football weekend. May you be edging ever closer to playing in your league's playoffs. Now in addition to Razzball's above article, let's take a look at other nice recaps from yesterday's action: Roto Arcade's Sunday Scene, W...

This morning at around 4:30 AM we were treated to a lovely beeping every 30 seconds or so from a smoke alarm with a dying battery. Lucky for us our son basically slept right through it, and after a brief debate over what to do (turn on a fan for some white noise, which did absolutely nothing) my husband and I battled through it and eked out a few more hours of sleep. Nothing like early morning snoozes to the soundtrack of a smoke alarm.

Greetings football fans. What a sports week between PSU and Wilson Ramos; feels silly to be thinking fantasy sports but hey, I guess the escape of fantasy sports is part of the appeal, no? So let's continue that escape and talk links and lineup decisions...

It has been a bit of a crazy week here with my family in town - awesome, but also a bit chaotic trying to work with two babies' schedules. Though honestly the chaos was welcome since I won't be seeing my branch of the family over Thanksgiving, so it was great to have a handful of them all come to town for a few days. It's an interesting week coming up on the football scene, too - no bye weeks but it's also our first Thursday night game (since the season kickoff game of course), which I will probably remind you about ad nauseam for the rest of the season since it's crucial to weekly success to get your Thursday night lineup set.

Today's post is going to be a quick one - and I know I was MIA yesterday, so my apologies, but a bunch of family came into town yesterday and we've got a household full of chaos and babies (including my wonderful sister and her equally wonderful 4-month-old daughter)...not a ton of time for blogging really.

A few days ago I thought it was possible that we were becoming the least-liked neighbors on our street due to our complete incompetence in terms of dealing with our front yard. What should be a small grassy patch is 90% overgrown weeds; what should be a nicely mulched area is also quickly becoming 90% weeds; and what should be a driveway is now basically a sheet of wet leaves. But then yesterday I saw something that changed my mind completely and I'm now confident that we're not the least desirable neighbors here...that's all because I spotted a toilet at the bottom of our neighbor's driveway. Nothing says our neighborhood is classy like a toilet. Now, sure, everyone has days when they need to drop a toilet off at the edge of their property and I'm sure there's a plan evolving there...but it made me feel a bit better about our chaotic front yard. Now one area where I can try and keep the chaos to a minimum is here with your daily dose of fantasy football links...

We've had kind of a crazy fall so far - either my husband or I or our whole family has been traveling for 5 of the past 6 weeks so I'm very ready for a weekend together at home. Sadly we have a long list of errands and things we've been meaning to do around the house to keep us busy, but my husband and I are heading to the University of Tennessee game on Saturday night, which should be pretty awesome. I've never been to a game at UT or any stadium of its size (3rd largest I think?) so I'm preparing to be wowed. And hoping to be wowed by my teams' Week 9 performances.

Well we had a total of 3 trick-or-treating groups knock on our door last night and a big ol' bowl of candy remaining. There should be something wholesome or beneficial that you can do with all this leftover candy...might have to do some searching around to see what I can come up with. Seems like a waste to just dump it all! And speaking of dumping, perhaps a look at your Week 9 lineups has you in the mood to do some dump and replace with your players - if so, you've come to the right place since I've got tons of waiver wire links for you today.
