Early Week 4 advice

I remember a day (pre-child) when I used to be able to watch football all Sunday long. It was glorious. But these I'm spending that precious football time convincing a kid that a nap sounds desirable (and oh man, does it ever) and then heading out to fall festivals, birthday parties, puddle jumping, etc. I wouldn't have it any other way (sacrilegious to my old, carefree self I'm sure) but I will readily admit that I am loving a MNF Broncos game so that I can actually watch a good chunk of the game. If only the Broncos played at night every week... Just a reminder that my due date for kiddo #2 is quickly approaching - next weekend! - and when that little dude arrives, this blog will probably go very, very quiet for several days. I always recommend taking a look at the awesome sites under Fantasy Football Content over on the right side for some of my favorite sites. Moving on to today's recaps and waiver advice: Game recaps for those of you who missed a game or two:...

Resources for the struggling starters

Well, I've got a successful 3rd birthday party under my belt now, but sadly I only caught about 2 minutes of the Broncos game since there was just too much other birthday party hosting stuff going on. You better believe it was next to impossible to convince our son that preschool was going to be a fun option today...compared to a birthday party yesterday with all his besties, a big pile of dirt, sand, and trucks everywhere? Negatory, good buddy. It was a bit of a struggle to get out the door today. Hopefully your fantasy team however is not struggling and you managed to avoid the injury bug going around. But if you're looking for some additions to your squad, though, look no further... First up, a few recaps of yesterday's games in case you were at a kiddo birthday party or otherwise enjoying your non-football life: Razzball.com's Sit and Drink Eddie Royal Tea Roto Arcade's Sunday Scene, Week 2: Mike McCoy fixes Philip Rivers, unleashes Eddie Royal FantasyS...

Start/sit links and more for Week 2

I'm completely stuck on the Weather Channel, twitter, and all the news coming out of Boulder regarding their current historic flooding - I believe they've gotten about half of their annual rainfall in a mere 24 hours. For recent readers, a little background - my husband and I lived in Boulder for 6 years and have many friends in the area so I'm feeling my heart strings tugged on this one. Thinking of you all in and around Boulder and sending dry, safe thoughts. Football carries on tonight with the Pats and Jets and plenty of lineup advice: Start/sit links: CBSSports.com's Week 2 Start 'em and Sit 'em NFL.com's Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 2 FFToolbox.com's Week 2: Start 'Em and Week 2: Start 'Em Roto Arcade's Week 2 Lames: Russell extremely risky versus San Fran and Flames: Don't drop the ball, start Edelman Rotoprofessor's Start 'Em or Sit 'Em: Week 2 Juan Elway's Week 2 Ride 'em or Hide 'em S...

Heavy on the waiver advice

Our son turns three in a few weeks and this weekend we're throwing him a birthday party just to make sure he gets a party in before his baby brother makes an appearance (who wants to put money on them sharing a birth date? Due date and birthday are just 2 days apart...). There will be dirt, sand, trucks, and the Broncos game going on in the background. What could be better? Today's links are full of helpful tips from our favorite experts: The waiver wire article train rolls on: DavidGonos.com's Week 2 Waiver Wire Adds FantasyPros.com's Waiver Wire Rankings (Week 2): Julius Thomas Rises Up Rotoworld's Waiver Wired: Week 2 CBSSports.com's Playing the Waiver Wire for Week 2 NFL.com's Julius Thomas leads Week 2 waiver wire options FantasyKnucklehead's Julian Edelman Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickup of the Week   PFF Fantasy's Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2 FantasySharks.com's The Fire Sale - Week 2 For those in IDP leagues, read on...

Prepping for Week 2

Greetings and I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed the bulk of Week 1 action yesterday. Glorious. I say that mostly since I'm still basking in the great Denver victory from Thursday night, but like many of you, I had some great fantasy successes and a few busts for the week. There's much to be clarified and resolved before you do anything crazy and start dropping folks that you were counting on week in, week out (my sister is currently in a Cam Newton and Lamar Miller panic), so hang in there and read up on some of the advice below. For starters, if you need some game recaps or just want the fantasy highlights from the week, here are some gems: Roto Arcade's Sunday Scene, Week 1: Shane Vereen prepared to take what Stevan Ridley fumbles away . Also includes a handful of waiver suggestions at the end.

Week 1 Start/Sit and rankings link explosion

Oh you all know how excited I am about tonight's game. Start of the season AND a Broncos game? Pure awesomeness. We sent our son to preschool happily wearing his Broncos socks (he yelled "football!" as he picked them out; my heart soared) and his Peyton Manning jersey. Might have been overkill but whatever, first day of the season comes but once a year. I've got a bit of a link dump today. Read on for lots of start/sit advice and rankings: An explosion of start/bench advice for Week 1: Fifth Down's Week 1 in Fantasy Football: Matchup Breakdown RotoArcade's Week 1 Flames: Villianized Flacco to flourish once again in Denver FantasySharks.com's Start/Bench - Week 1 CBSSports.com's Week 1 Start 'Em and Sit 'Em FootballDocs' Start Sit Advice NFL Week 1 numberFire's Start or Sit: Week 1 NFL.com's Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 1 Week 1 rankings continue: LestersLegends.com's WR Rankings Week 1 TheFakeFootball...

Week 1: Rankings, start/bench, waivers

Well we're just a few days away from the start of the season (go Broncos!) and I know you all have been patient with my sporadic posting this summer. Recently I've had family in town, a sick kiddo, and I had forgotten just how many doc appointments are scheduled in the final weeks of pregnancy (just a few weeks to go! maybe! or maybe not!). I think I've been shamefully unprepared for my own drafts with my lack of research lately, but I'm here to make amends and get you set for Week 1.  Waiver wire articles - it may be early in the season for waiver moves, but read em nonetheless, I say, since many of them give good insight into widely available players: Rotoworld's Waiver Wired FantasySharks.com's Waiver Wire Wonders - Week 1 SI's Waiver wire: Consider these early pickups Moving on to Week 1 rankings and projections: The Football Girl's Fitz on Fantasy: Week One Rankings Fantasy Football Nerd's Fantasy Football Rankings Week 1 Fleaflicker...
