Week 4 Advice

Welcome to the first bye week of the season. I presume many of you are here for some bye week assistance and advice on who could be a nice plug-in from the waiver wire. I've posted some of the early waiver wire suggestions on both Monday and Tuesday of this week, but there are just so many out there - so read on for more waiver and start or sit sites:
I'll have more tomorrow but then am off to the east coast on Friday morning for a wedding this weekend. Not sure I'll be able to get my normal IDP post and last minute lineup decisions up for you guys but you can always check out my posts from previous weeks and find the Week 4 info on those sites. Now I am all for weddings and such - and am certainly excited to be going to this one - but just not during football season.

Dear FFL

I thought I was getting a steal with Larry Johnson at #5. So far I guessed wrong. I have Edg and APeterson so am OK with RBs, but am WR-weak. What caliber WR should I expect for LJ in a trade at this point in the season?

Dan,
Tough question without knowing more details; I think trades can be very subjective based on what you need and what the person you're trading with needs. It always helps to know who is on your team. And how clued in the other person is to the world of FF. LJ is a big name and I would think you could at least get a low-end WR1 from him. Many people are probably banking on the fact that he will have better production as the year goes on...I'm still not convinced of this but you never know. Since so many WRs have put up big numbers this year (especially compared to RBs), I think players might be more willing to part with a higher ranked WR than normal. I mean if Kevin Curtis is going to emerge as a big star (pure conjecture at this point), do you need your Donald Driver or Reggie Wayne quite so much? Speaking of Reggie Wayne, I'd be interested in seeing if you could pull a trade for LJ and either Wayne or Marvin Harrison. Those Colts receivers have been relatively quiet so far and could be nice trade material for you.

I personally wouldn't trade LJ for a WR lower than a low-end WR1; I'm sure others have different opinions and again, it's so hard to say without knowing your exact situation.

With your WR3, I'd go with Wes Welker - NE plays Cincinnati on Monday Night Football. Could you ask for a better situation? Roddy White is going to be an interesting guy to keep an eye on and is tempting this week - I just think the NE/Cin matchup is too good to say no to...now Furrey's appeal goes up if Calvin Johnson can't play this week but still doesn't beat out Welker in my mind; Lee Evans has been so cold and with a new QB, it just isn't that great a play even with the awesome matchup against the Jets D.

As for the flex player, I'd go with Lynch. Normally I think a QB is primed for more points (esp in a 6 point TD league) and I think that Eli has a decent matchup this week...but the Jets are easy against the run and with the before mentioned new Buffalo QB, the Bills offense might need to lean on Lynch a little more this week.

Hope that helps - good luck.

Back on the fantasy wagon

With my library conferences behind me (for a few weeks at least), I can now concentrate on fantasy football again. If you happen to be a librarian and are interested in how my co-presenter and I tied together fantasy football and information literacy, check out my co-presenter’s blog . Though I imagine most of you would much rather catch up on the following football news and thoughts for the week: I remain a bit dazed and confused by my certainty last summer that Cedric Benson was going to rock my RB2 world in 2007. Didn’t happen and now he’s moved onto ankle surgery, alleged intoxication and resisting arrest on boats. Awesome. You can practically taste Matt Forte’s value skyrocketing here. In fact, wondering about rookie RBs in general? Well then check out FF Xtreme’s The Day After: Ranking the Rookie Running Backs . I love reading articles or stats that challenge my preconceived notions – The Fifth Down’s Chad the Completion Percentage Machine does just that. No offense to thos

Streaming Defenses - Week 16

Don't know about you all, but in our house this week is just chock full of events, visiting with family, and getting organized for our upcoming time off over the holidays. Lots of scrambling going on around here and attempts to install some sense of gratitude in my boys. What am I grateful for this season? Many things but let's start with Bob. Bob has been my fantasy football rock, coming back week after week to post. Hats off to you, Bob, and thank you for your diligent work and research. So here he is with this year's final streaming defense post.  Well it’s the last week of the Fantasy Football Playoffs in most leagues, and my last post of the season. I hope you all found these posts useful. And if I failed you, you have to murder a lot more experts before you get to me. I myself have had a terrible playoff season. I’m out of all but one of my leagues due to the weird games the last two weeks. Between weather that didn’t materialize to normally consistent players co

Start/Sit Week 4 and a smattering of rankings

It's been awhile, my fantasy football friends. I have lofty intentions of getting several posts up here each week, but life is busy and I will do my best. So in the intervening 6 years since I've posted regularly on here, our family added another child (now there are 3!), moved back to Boulder for a sabbatical year and then returned to Knoxville, and we have basically been chugging along like many of the rest of you. My two boys (who turn 12 and 9 soon) are in a fantasy football league for the first time this year with their buddies, which ostensibly is the just the dads (and mom!) playing one another of course. But my oldest is taking it super seriously and what kind of Fantasy Football Librarian would I be if I didn't step up my game for him? So I'm back - and am interested in the fantasy landscape - lots of the same awesome sites out there, but many new ones as well. I'll try to incorporate a mix. Please be sure to let me know if my 2006 ways aren't working i
