    Waivers out for Ezekiel - or are you all in?

    Curious if anyone that's still riding Zeke for the Monday night matchup is losing confidence after two playoff contender QBs had serious injuries, and a important playoff-bound WR had a particularly gruesome leg break. If not and you've slotted Zeke into the flex, are there any players still...

    Online stats screwed up almost everywhere

    Anyone else having trouble getting real-time stats? * Yahoo! hasn't updated for almost an hour now * CBS Sportsline not showing rushing stats (!!!) * ESPN seems to be working but you need to view annoying ads if watching Gamecast Way for these sites (free or not) to look after fantasy...

    Wagering Degenerates: Help with instant gratification play

    Was on the sidelines most of the season but had a tremendous Saturday in colllege football going perfect until I chased an Arizona-Washington 2nd half over. Nothing on the board looks real solid this week. I usually like to take a few bucks on an "instant gratification 3-teamer" where I pick 3...

    Fantasy superstitions - Having no players for the late games

    I'm usually the first to rip on superstitions or theories like cancelling out other players' points or having a player going on Monday night because it gives you "last licks." But for the first time in as long as I can remember, my entire Super Bowl lineup tomorrow goes at 1 p.m. (already got...

    Why is Steve Smith (CAR) ranked so high this week?

    I know the Pats pass defense is suspect and Carolina has more swagger than they did with Jake Delhomme under center. Still, Matt Moore isn't much of a quarterback and Carolina is going into very hostile and cold territory in New England. Most sites (from the no-nothings like CBS Sportsline to...

    Risky starts you're making in the first week of playoffs

    Disclaimer: Not a WSIS thread or "here's my playoff lineup." Simply talking about the risky plays you're making in the playoff week and who you're benching for said player. League 1: 16-team, performance scoring, decimal scoring Going with TWO Kansas City offensive players (Jamaal Charles and...

    Ricky Williams "dinged up"

    Was finalizing my rosters and noticed that Ricky's profile was updated to say he was "dinged up" in the final minutes of the Carolina game (on the long TD run late in the 4th perhaps)? (RotoWire) Williams suffered some kind of injury during the game against Carolina on Thursday, according to...

    Which fans are bigger bandwagon jumpers?

    I should preface this by saying I have no issues with Arizona and I'm thrilled they pulled off the huge win. Also, I always root for the Rays in the AL East simply because I despise both the Red Sox and Yankees evenly and was glad they knocked the SAWX out of the playoffs. That being said, this...

    Tatum Bell's cell phone selling career

    My apologies in advance if this was discussed before. Without looking at the specifics, Tatum Bell must have made a decent amount of money in his 3 full seasons as an NFL running back. As a 2nd round pick in 2004 and going by league minimums, he must have made close to a million bucks right...

    Kevin Smith limited in practice for 2nd straight day

    I know he's been bothered by the ankle for a while and still plays (and is productive). But is anybody worried that it could hamper his performance during what should be a sweet matchup?

    Who's your kicker for Week 16

    Any waiver wire gems you went after this week? I have Garrett Hartley (Saints) but I'm a bit superstitious about having too many players riding in a single game (only 8 starters; already going with Brees and Kevin Smith). And if this is the shootout everybody thinks it will be, a bunch of extra...

    Quick gambling question: Middling on Thanksgiving

    Took the adjusted over at 51.5 for 2:1 odds. I need just one more TD + PAT for the win. I've been screwed over so many times this season by close games like this and I can see Titans adding 2 more FGs and nothing else. 2nd half total is 19.5 (Sportsbook where it's easier for me to place a bet)...

    Is "lesser" Steve Smith a sneaky start this week?

    Trying to figure out if I might get some good value out of my waiver wire pick of the week - Steve Smith (Giants' version). Had a nice game at the #3 slot vs. Cincy, but now gets to play alongside Toomer against a pretty weak defense. Considering starting him over McClain or A. Gonzalez, but I...

    Question for fellow cheapies without NFL Ticket:

    Scoring ticker on the CBS broadcast is having scores way ahead of what I'm seeing on NFL.com's live scoring. Showed Cincy up 3-0 on NYG while live scoring still showed them with a 3rd and 10 from the 20 (Palmer then got a new set of downs with a scramble to the NYG 5). Also, Buffalo was shown...

    ***Official Frank Thomas 500 HR watch***

    I'm not a huge baseball fan by any means, but I always closely follow two things: The New York Mets and my favorite player, Frank Thomas. "Big Hurt" is just one of those guys that doesn't get the same recognition as his contemperaries (Griffey, Piazza, Bonds) but has been every big as impressive...

    Peyton Manning to host Saturday Night Live on 3/24

    Took long enough. Based on his commercials alone, Manning should have been asked to host before winning a Super Bowl. And unlike Brady, Manning won't have to stoop to being in his tighty whiteys to get a laugh. Should be a hoot, especially since non-actors/non-comedians tend to have the only...

    What RBs could I be looking at in the 2nd round

    Have my 1-keeper, 12-team local draft this afternoon. The keeper is a one-year contract for any player drafted the previous year in the 3rd round or later that wasn't already a keeper. I'm in the enviable spot to have Larry Johnson as my keeper (took at 5.1 last season). I pick #5 because I...

    Fantasy Football elitists that rip FF Index

    Here's something I don't understand. The Fantasy Football Index is arguably the most popular fantasy magazine out there. Like all other fantasy mags, hardcore fantasy football owners (and stuck-up elitists) rip on it for being outdated with awful advice, ridiculous predictions, and cheat sheets...

    For anyone with drafts coming up

    Note: This is long. Thought people might find the results of a five-year draft with several FF vets interesting and perhaps useful. This is NOT a "rate the best team" thread. I have removed all team names and won't list who each player belongs to. I'm doing this in case anybody is doing deep ADP...
