Bring on the waiver wire links

Yesterday was quite the active day in maternity wards in northern Virginia yesterday - not just one, but two of my friends had babies yesterday. Welcome to the world, little ones! Two more future fantasy football fans perhaps?

Meanwhile, those of you who are interested in joining me at the Brooklyn Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Thursday Night Football game with Gregg Rosenthal, Scott Engel, and other FFLibrarian readers, please send me an e-mail to let me know you'll be coming (fyi, it's off the B,Q,2,3,4, and 5 trains)!


Onto today's links:

Hey Librarian, hope you are doing well and loving N.Y.
Quick start/sit question for this upcoming week.
I have one flex spot for either LT(@DALLAS) or Meachem(@ Atlanta). What do you think?
Brooklyn with love.

Hi FFL. Unfortunately, I missed the playoffs this year. But while I take all the blame for my bonehead roster choices, I give you all the credit for giving me so many sources of information to make informed decisions. Thanks, and good luck in all your playoffs!

That's a tough start/sit. I'd go with LT, but I'm if you're putting one of those guys in your flex you're probably in pretty good shape either way in this league.

I've got a pretty tough matchup this week.

Start 3: Roddy White, Sidney Rice (how formidable is CIN's D?), Mike Sims-Walker (been quiet lately), Miles Austin

Start 2 (IDP): Darren Sharper, Bryan Scott, Tanard Jackson, Bernard Pollard

Thanks!

Brooklyn here,
Well here's my lineup
QB- Peyton
RB- Pierre Thomas (or LT)
Wr- Smith (NYG), Mike sims walker, Meachem or kevin britt or lee evens
TE- V davis (3rd week waiver pickup!!)

So I figure Im starting smith and MSW, and I feel like I gotta play Thomas over LT, only because of the matchups, (LT@DAL Thomas@Atlanta)
So that leaves me LT or Meachem in the Flex

This may look like a solid team but I play in a 12 team ppr league with my friends and we all really know football so with this team I'm still only the 6th seed, at least I made the playoffs!!

Anon @ 9:58, I'd go MSW, Rice, and Austin. N.O. D looks much better than Dallas D right now. I played smith(NYG) last week against Dalls secondary and he got 6-110.

I don't think you can bench Roddy White right now. Even with Chris Redman under center, he was targeted an astounding 20 times. I think MSW is the sit, but you could make a good argument for benching Sid Rice this week.

In a PPR I go with Meachem. No one can cover him right now and Brees should carve up Atlanta's defense. The only worry is if Lance Moore returns but that looks unlikely.

Great job this week, FFL

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
