2010 Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

Another week down in the world of Fantasy Football. Time for a look at some possible addition to help your week 7 roster off the waiver wire. These players should be available in roughly 50%  or more fantasy leagues. Here are our top 3 (or so) free agent quarterback, running back and wide receiver pickups for the week:

Quarterback

1. Alex Smith (SF) – Smith came through late in the game Sunday to deliver a couple of TDs for the 49ers first win. This week he faces a tough Carolina defense, but he should be able to post some decent numbers to live by. He has some better receiving talent which puts him just ahead of everyone else as my first choice for this week.
2. Matt Cassel (KC) Matt is lined up for a very good game with a bad opponent in the Jaguars. Jax loads the box to stop the run, but could penetrate, but Cassel doesn’t really hold the ball all that long as he usually just makes short quick throws and has the ability to scramble some. He should be a solid bye week replacement.
3. Sam Bradford (StL) – The rookie was able to take down the Chargers last week and had respectable numbers. This week he faces TB and appears to have a pretty good matchup.

On the cusp for the week is quarterback Chad Henne who plays Pittsburgh this week, and that’s his only drawback. But still, he has a lethal weapon in Brandon Marshall who can just make plays, so if you need him…he is likely there for you. Mathew Stafford is on a Bye this week and inactive, but still someone I wouldn’t mind keeping on my roster if I have room as backup after week 8 or so.

Running Back

1. Christopher Ivory (NO) – Pierre Thomas is out with injury and Ivory had a huge game Sunday in his place rushing for 158 yards on 15 carries. As long as Pierre is out, Ivory should get the quality touches. And he may earn carries even when Pierre gets back if he keeps this up.
2. Danny Woodhead (NE) – Another hot New England waiver wire pickup. He appears to be getting his share of looks whether it be rushing or receiving. I wouldn’t spend a high waiver on him, but certainly if you need a lot of help, Woodhead could be a start to plug holes.
3. Derrick Ward (Hou) – Don’t panic, there is no injury to Arian Foster. However, Ward has been getting his share of the touches and ripped off some decent runs for 3 TDs. So the picking is thin this week and if you absolutely have nobody else to grab try Ward. Plus he would be the first to start if Foster did get hurt (knock on wood!).

Javon Ringer (Car) I still like as a handcuff for Chris Johnson owners.

Wideout/Tight End

1. Deion Branch (NE) – He remains available in over half of fantasy leagues even after scoring in his first game back. He is easily one of the best wide receivers available in most leagues especially in this weeks matchup.
2. Danny Amendola (StL) – He has a good matchup this week and should get a lot of Bradford’s attention.
3. Steve Breaston (Ari) – With Max Hall at the helm it’s still questionable what we are dealing with here in Arizona. That said, Breaston is a great receiver, but coming back from injury this week…probably. So temper expectation, but definitely stash him if you have room. Could pay huge dividends as Fitzgerald gets all the defensive attention.

Guys to keep on your radar Brandon Tate (NE), Harry Douglas (Atl) and one of my favorites Anthony Armstrong (Was). They may not be much now, but they could be worth theor weight down the stretch.

2010 Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

Looking to revamp your roster for your Week 6 fantasy football lineup for 2010? Here are some available players that should be available in roughly 50%  or more fantasy leagues. Here are our top 3 (or so) free agent quarterback, running back and wide receiver pickups for the week:

Quarterback

1. Chad Henne (MIA) – A worthy backup QB and bye week replacement. However, should he ever find rhythm with Brandon Marshall and Devone Bess he could be a nice sleeper later in the season.
2. Ryan Fitzpatrick (Buf) C play from behind and throw a lot. Enough said. Oh OK, you can justify with a solid performance last Sunday. He really is building a nice rapport with Steve Johnson too.
3. Shaun Hill(Det) – He has deliver very usable stat lines. This could be his last week in the starting gig before Stafford comes back. So grab him as a solid bye week replacement for week 6.
4. Sam Bradford (StL) – Same deal as Fitzpatrick, they just tend to have to throw a lot. He won’t really be worthy of a starting spot, but could make a decent bye week replacement.

On the cusp, is quarterback Alex Smith who quietly had a nice game Sunday 250+ yards, 1TD and no picks. He is one bad game away from probably being replaced by David Carr, but until that happens keep an eye on him and see if he can rise to the occasion. Mathew Stafford will probably be back in week 8 after the Lions bye. He seems to be progressing well from his shoulder injury, so when he returns he should resume his normal fantasy value. David Garrardis another healthy mention of someone worth a glance, but he is so inconsistent it hard to refer him.

Running Back

1. BenJarvis Green-Ellis (NE) – “The Firm” is available in just about 50% of fantasy football leagues, and he has been money. Even with Moss gone I don’t see his production taking that big of a hit.
2. Fred Jackson (Buf) – With Lynch traded, Jackson stands to get many more touches. He has always been a solid fantasy contributor when healthy and playing. Grab him if you still can.
3. Julius Jones (StL) – He just got picked up by New Orleans to backup Pierre Thomas. Backups Chris Ivory and Ledell Betts did not perform well with Thomas out. You have to assume Jones will be the immediate #2 and should Thomas miss week 6, Jones would likely get the bulk of the carries. Worst case scenario he is a great handcuff for Thomas owners.

If Marshawn Lynch (Sea) is available he is worthy of a pick up on shear potential alone. Earnest Graham (TB), has not gotten many touches, but when he has they have been for productive carries. If he keeps this up he might force more touches his way. Javon Ringer (Car) I like simply as a handcuff for Chris Johnson owners. Donald Brown (Ind) is still someone you might want to stash, but he is a bit banged up right now.

Wideout/Tight End

1. Deion Branch (NE) – I am not saying he is going to replace Moss, but with Brady throwing spirals to his old favorite target. Good things could be in store for this once upon a time Super Bowl MVP.
2. Andrew Quarless (GB) – Jermichael Finley is slated to miss lots of time and Donald Lee is banged up as well. This guy has the size and tools like Finley so he could be a great temporary replacement.
3. Steve Johnson (Buf) – He seems to be Fitzpatrick’s favorite target and has the TDs to prove it.
4. Kenny Britt (Ten) – I don’t know if he has just been lucky or finally getting into his zone. 3 TDs in 3 games. You could reach for worse here. He has the size and hands to dominate, let’s hope.

Louis Murphy (Oak) is still the best receiver in Oakland, he is gimpy right now but would make a nice player down the stretch . Danny  (StL) is getting most of Bradford’s attention. He could take over as the #1 Wr and could help players in PPR leagues.

2010 Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Here is a look at help for your Week 5 fantasy football lineup for 2010.

Quarterback

1. Kyle Orton(Den) – If Orton is still on the waiver wire grab him, he surely is better than your backup QB at the least!
2. Chad Henne (MIA) – He was probably drafted in deeper leagues, but available in many others.  He is still a break-out candidate.
3. Sam Bradford (StL) – I know, how? He is actually very good considering the team around him. Although this may be th elast week to get easy points. Monitor him closely after this week.

If you really need more options appealing check out Josh Freeman (TB) or gunslinger  Shaun Hill(Det). And if your league is really deep Matt Cassel (KC) and David Garrard (Jac) are other QBs that usually have to throw a lot.

Running Back

1. Ryan Torain (Was) – Had him listed as a sleeper last week. I should have listed him as a must have pickup. As we all knew Portis couldn’t stay healthy and Torain is now the #1 back.
2. Fred Jackson (Buf) – With Lynch traded, Jackson stands to get many more touches. He has always been a solid fantasy contributor when healthy and playing. Grab him if you still can.
3. Kenneth Darby (StL) – He looks to benefit from time missed by Steven Jackson. Definitely worth a pickup if you can afford it.

If Marshawn Lynch (Sea) is floating on the waiver wire still, he could be a guy to stash for future work. John Kuhn (GB), is still a decent look. Javon Ringer (Car) looked good and should the workload that Chris Johnson receives ever get him to miss time. This would elevate Ringer’s value very quickly. Also, Mike Bell (Phi) could is a great handcuff to McCoy and spot starter if McCoy misses time.

Wideout

1. Brandon Tate (NE) – With Randy Moss now out of the picture, we expect to see more looks thrown Tate’s way. He probably won’t put up Moss’ numbers, but an increase in fantasy value is for sure. Please note though week 5 is a BYE, so this is solely a move to bolster your roster right now.
2. Lance Moore (NO) – He was listed here last week and was able to grab a score. He really seems to be filling the reception duties for Bush. Consider him a strong target to score until he proves otherwise.
3. Pierre Garcon (Ind) – This could be just a one week roster move. Austin Collie is likely to miss week 5 and Garcon is prepped to start. So he could figure into the game plan much more.

Here are some other options to consider if these three are not available. Devone Bess (Mia), you have to take him as a matchup play, but he wanted more looks last week and got them along with a score. Marshall will be the double covered man, so Bess stands to benefit. Take a gamble on the play-maker for the Browns Joshua Cribbs (Cle). Dexter McCluster (KC) remains an exciting player just proving he needs to get as much playing time as possible. Although this will be a tough matchup vs Indy.

2010 Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

Here is a look at help for your Week 4 fantasy football lineup for 2010.

Quarterback

1. Kyle Orton(Den) – He has skilled young receivers and offense game plan that is QB friendly. He also is 2nd in the NFL in passing, so yeah…add him now!
2. Chad Henne (MIA) – He was probably drafted in deeper leagues, but available in many others. With Brandon Marshall at his disposal he will get some big plays from his receiver. Last Sunday had over 350 yards passing, even while missing 7-8 plays to the wildcat. He is a break-out candidate.
3. Matt Hasselbeck (Sea) – He just won’t go away. Could easily turn into a steal and must start #1 fantasy QB if he gets a rapport with Tate and Carlson.

If you really need more options appealing check out Josh Freeman (TB) or gunslinger  Shaun Hill(Det). And if your league is really deep Sam Bradford(StL),Matt Cassel (KC) and Derek Anderson(Ari) are other QBs that usually have to throw a lot.

Running Back

1. Peyton Hillis (Cle) – He is probably gone a week ago or drafted, but if by some miracle he is still around grab him as a must start this week against Cin and until Jerome Harrison wins the job back.
2. BenJarvis Green-Ellis (NE) – With Fred Taylor out Green-Ellis will take the majority of the reps at the line of scrimmage.
3. Kenneth Darby (StL) – He looks to benefit from time missed by Steven Jackson. Definitely worth a pickup if you can afford it.

As a either a handcuff or possible sleeper I am looking at Ryan Torain(Was). Already got the backup job to Portis and we know his injury history. John Kuhn (GB), shoot he might even be a good pickup now with Brandon Jackson not really getting the job done. Javon Ringer (Car) looked good and should the workload that Chris Johnson receives ever get him to miss time. This would elevate Ringer’s value very quickly.

Wideout

1. Louis Murphy (Oak) – Many of the next guys will get more hype, but none of this group has as much upside as Murphy. He is the go-to-guy so far this season for Oakland WR’s. He had another 100 yard day last week and that doesn’t have to stop.
2. Lance Moore (NO) – This will be the trendy pickup this week and while Moore is an excellent receiver with Brees throwing. Fact is, he shares looks with like 6 other awesome receivers. Temper your expectations.
3. Brandon Lloyd (Den) – He has always had the talent, but he has also always been inconsistent. I don’t know if this is his year or not. Denver has 3 other very good receivers in Gaffney, Royal and Thomas. So you have to wonder how high this ceiling really is.

Here are some other options to consider if these three are not available. Roy Williams(Dal), you have to take him as a matchup play, but he might have a couple more big games like last week in him this year and he is available in more leagues than you would think. Take a gamble on the play-maker for the Browns Joshua Cribbs (Cle). Dexter McCluster (KC) is an exciting player just proving he needs to get as much playing time as possible. Keep an eye an that young man in Kansas City.

Last possible note, if your league requires a Tight End, Dustin Keller(NYJ) and Greg Olsen (Chi) have both been pleasant surprises. See if they are available, if not Jermaine Gresham(Cin) is still a young player with lots of potential and Tony Moeaki (KC) has been getting a fair share of looks as well.

2010 Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

Here are some quick pickups that could be made to improve your roster if you hurry.

Quarterback

Josh Freeman (TB) – He has had two really good games and although may not yet warrant a must start, will make a great back-up or could blossom into a solid low end #1 fantasy start option.

2. Kyle Orton (Den) – He has skilled young receivers and and offense game plan that is QB friendly. Again nothing must start, but warrants an evaluation of your current backup.

3. Matt Hasselbeck (Sea) – He just won’t go away. Could easily turn into a steal and must start #1 fantasy QB if he gets a rapport with Tate and Carlson.

Running Back

1. Mike Tolbert(SD) – A must pickup! He had been showered with praise all preseason and when he got his chance he did not disappoint. If Ryan Mathews is out for any significant time, Tolbert will get the carries.

2. Jason Snelling(Atl) – Turner is questionable for week 3 and they may ease him back. Snelling was lights out, so he could be a safe bet to get half or more of the available carries.

3. Donald Brown(Ind) – He has explosiveness written all over him. Addai is still the #1 back, but Brown stole some carries and made the most. Indy could easily be grooming their RB of the future.

Wideout

1. Kevin Walter(Hou) – So many of us gleaned at Jacoby’s potential that we forgot to draft the actual #2 in Houston. He was given a large salary so expect Houston to get dividends on that. Week 2 was phenomenal!

2. Demaryius Thomas(Den) – First NFL game in week 2 8 catches 97 yards and a touchdown. Not hard to see why he is the perceived #1 and picked ahead of Dez Bryant.

3. Mario Manningham(NYG) – He is the deep threat guy. Consider him a Bernard Berrian of the Chicago Bears days. Good for a spot start until he proves he can get more targets.

2010 Fantasy Football Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

Here is a list of players that may not have been drafted or for any other reason may be available in your fantasy football league that you should consider picking up:

1. Brandon Jackson RB (Green Bay) – Ryan Grant is out for the season and although GB will likely find another reliable RB to add to depth, Jackson should be the main man now. This is the guy you need to pick up now!
2. Michael Vick QB (Philadelphia) – Kevin Kolb suffered a concussion and could miss week 2. Vick also played spectacular in Kolb’s absence. So find a spot on your roster for this potential high reward QB.
3. Legadu Laanee WR (San Diego) – With VJax still not playing Laanee should see more looks and he has the ability to take advantage of them.
4. Mark Clayton WR (St. Louis) – The Rams wanted a go-to receiver for Bradford and they got Clayton just for this. He will be the #1 and should see many games near 80-100 yards.
5. Mohamed Massaquoi WR (Cleveland) – Delhomme is better than what they had, and Massaquoi is the #1, should have a solid season.

2010 Fantasy Football Week 1 Injury Round Up

Week 1 of Fantasy Football is officially in the books! Hopefully your draft strategies paid off, if not there will usually be injuries and young/old players to had off the waiver wire.

Key Injuries/Status

1. Marques Colston (kidney) – This appears to be a minor injury as he is probable for week 2. No replacement should be needed.
2. Josh Freeman (thumb) – Probable for week 2. No replacement should be needed.
3. Brandon Marshall (ankle) – Probable for week 2. No replacement should be needed.
4. Julian Edelman (foot) – Questionable for week 2. Keep updated until gameday, but his fantasy value is low anyway. Still tate could see more playing time if Edelman is out.
5. Tom Brady (shoulder) – Probable for week 2. No replacement should be needed.
6. Anthony Gonzalez (back) – Questionable for week 2. Garcon and Collie should profit from this.
7. Owen Daniels (knee) – Probable for week 2. No replacement should be needed.
8. Steve Slaton (toe) – Probable for week 2. No replacement should be needed.
9. Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) – Probable for week 2. No replacement should be needed.
10. Chaz Schilens (knee) – OUT. Seek WR help elsewhere.
11. Michael Bush (thumb) – Questionable for week 2.
12. Chris “Beanie” Wells (knee) – Questionable for week 2. Look for Hightower to get more work if Wells cannot play or only play at partial health.
13. Michael Jenkins (shoulder) – OUT.
14. Ryan Grant (knee) – OUT. Brandon Jackson will look to get most of the carries now.
15. Donovan McNabb (ankle) – Questionable for week 2. He’ll likely play.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 22

It’s Fantasy Baseball Week 22, the final week for a lot of leagues. Time to scour the waiver wire for roster upgrades or replacements that can tilt the balance of victory in your favor. We’ll try and look at suitable pick-ups for each spot in the lineup. We’ll select players who have been hot in the last week to month, and will be typically owned by half of the leagues or less out there. Taking a look at batting first:

*(positions in brackets are possible other eligible spots)

First Base
Gaby Sanchez – Fla: Has been available all year by just over 50% percent of fantasy leagues. A solid .289 Avg, 16HRs, 60Rs and 70RBIs are his season line at this point, he has 4 bombs, 17 RBIs and a .300 Avg over the last 14 days.
Russell Branyan – Sea: There isn’t much to pick at the 1B position lately, but Branyan is a decent power play with 5 dingers, 6Rs and 9RBIs over the last two weeks. His BAvg is horrendous though. So only pick up if really desperate for power.
Todd Helton – Col: If you are looking from a slight bump in BAVG and a hint of pop in the bat, Helton is your man. Owned is less than 25% of leagues.

Second Base
Ryan Raburn – Det: The second baseman has batted .320 with 12Rs, 3HRs and 9 RBIs over the last 14 days. (1B,OF)
Eric Young – Col: Looking for a speed boost, EY2 has 6 steals in two weeks, but no power at all. (OF)
*If you solely need help in BAVG look at Freddy Sanchez, Ian Desmond and Alberto Callapso.

Third Base
Casey Blake – LAD: Has found his timing lately and has kept his BAVG over .300 for two weeks while knocking in 10 runs, with 2HRs and 8 Rs.
Wilson Betemit – KC: Has been hitting very well lately. Batted .289, 8Rs, 5HR, and 11RBIs over the last two weeks. The BAVG has dipped a bit for a month, but the power is still there.

Short Stop
Jhonny Peralta – Det: Has had a great half month batting .313, 7Rs, 4HRs, and 14RBIs. (3B)
Yuniesky Betancourt – KC: The SS has a two week line of 3Rs, 3HRs, 11RBIs and has batted .302 with no steals.
Ian Desmond – Was: A highly touted rookie who hasn’t provided eye-popping stats, but plays a scarce position and will provide some steals. a possible consideration for keeper in those formats. Batting almost .400 for two weeks. (2B)

Outfield
Coco Crisp- OAK: Very under-owned, 11Rs, 2HRs, 5RBIs, 6SBs, and .268 AVG over last two weeks. BAVG has been slowly dropping each week, but the steals keep on coming.
Jose Tabata – Pit: He makes the list again delivering a line of: 8Rs, 2HRs, 5RBIs, 2SBs while batting .444 for the last half month.
Roger Bernadina – Was: This is a new name out of Was. He has played well lately, two week line: 8Rs, 3HRs, 9RBIs, SBs, and BAVG .265.
*Hideki Matsui – LAA and Wil Venable – SD have also played worthy of your consideration lately.

Catcher
Rod Barajas – LAD: How does he make the list owned in less than a quarter of league, when he was a household name near the start of the season. Anyway, he has some nice power potential and has been batting .375 with 2HRs in his few at-bats so far with the Dodgers.
Other decent pickups at catcher are: A.J. Pierzynski, Jonathan Lucroy and Ramon Hernandez.

Now let’s switch to pitching:

Starters
Daniel Hudson – Ari: 4Ws, 42Ks, 1.85ERA and 0.87WHIP over last month. This guy is money!
Dallas Braden – Oak: 4Ws, 21Ks, 2.15ERA and 0.80 WHIP last 46 innings.
Brian Duensing – Min: Last months line looks like: 3Ws, 21Ks, 2.72ERA, 0.99 WHIP.
Brian Matusz: 3Ws, 20Ks, 2.32ERA, 1.06WHIP, not bad an barely owned, Bal offense always an issue though.
*I want to list Brandon Morrow, but reports have it, he hit his innings limit for the year. He is shut down for the season.

Closers
Brandon Lyon – Hou: Has been collecting saves when the team has been able to get a lead.
Koji Uehara – Bal: The latest closer on a very bad team.
Hisanori Takahashi – NYM: Has replaced K-Rod and looks to have the job for the rest of the year.
Hong-Chih Kuo – LAD: Joe Torre may go with both Kuo and Broxton in the ninth, but Kuo certainly hawking saves.
Evan Meek – Pit: Also has been given opportunities in the ninth inning.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 21

It’s Fantasy Baseball Week 21, time to scour the waiver wire for roster upgrades or replacements. We’ll try and look at suitable pick-ups for each spot in the lineup. We’ll select players who have been hot in the last week to month, and will be typically owned by half of the leagues or less out there. Taking a look at batting first:

*(positions in brackets are possible other eligible spots)

First Base

Russell Branyan - Sea: There isn’t much to pick at the 1B position lately, but Branyan is a decent power play with 5 bombs, 8Rs and 9RBIs over the last two weeks. His BAvg is horrendous though. So only pick up if really desperate for power.

Gaby Sanchez – Fla, Casey Kotchman – Sea or Mark Teahan – CWS might be more stable options available, but no eye-popping stats.

Second Base

Ryan Raburn - Det: The second baseman has batted .320 with 9Rs, 4HRs and 8 RBIs over the last 14 days. (1B,OF)
Jerry Hairston Jr. - SD: Has been hitting close to .280 for weeks and also delivered decent stats in all categories. (SS,3B,OF)

Third Base

Bill Hall- Bos: Hall is known for bursts of production over his career. He has been hot lately, see if you can ride him to the end on a hot bat.(2B,OF)
Wilson Betemit - KC: Has been hitting very well lately.  Batted .341, 7Rs, 3HR, 1SB, and 8RBIs over the last two weeks.

Short Stop

 Yuniesky Betancourt - KC: Royals players are really hot recently. The SS has a two week line of 6Rs, 5HRs, 15RBIs and has batted .378 with no steals.
Ian Desmond - Was: A highly touted rookie who hasn’t provided eye-popping stats, but plays a scarce position and will provide some steals. a possible consideration for keeper in those formats. (2B)
Jed Lowrie - Bos: Has stayed hot his two week line reads 6Rs , 3HRs, 5RBIs, 1SB, and a .389 Avg.

Outfield

Coco Crisp- OAK: Very under-owned, 10Rs, 6RBIs, 7SBs, and .351 AVG over last two weeks.
Pat Burrell - SF: An absolute source of power lately with 5 HRs and 13RBIs over 14 days.

Catcher

Closers

Hisanori Takahashi - NYM: Has replaced K-Rod and looks to have the job for the rest of the year.
Brandon Lyon - Hou: Has been collecting saves when the team has been able to get a lead.

2010 Fantasy Football Team Defense Rankings

Welcome to 2010 Fantasy Team Defense Rankings. We’ll take a look at what most standard rankings will look like. Then we’ll look at a snapshot of one mock draft I was involved in and breakdown any anomalies that occurred there. We’ll try and isolate some great value picks.  Let’s get started.

The rest of the fantasy team defenses went undrafted, as many will in your draft. In the mock draft, you’ll see someone jumped at the NY Jets Defense in the 6th round. I think that was reaching a bit much as most of the elite defense will be picked in the 8th rounds normally. If someone wants to jump early let them, don’t let that influence you. There will be plenty of picks in rounds 8-10. I’ll be looking for a defense in that late 8th or early ninth round, looking for Bal, NYG, Phi or Dal. Although, if you miss out on any of those the Mia, and Cin team defenses should be adequate.
