I love this lucky life I lead and adore watching my kids do their thing be it cross country or soccer or gymnastics or art class or baseball or now basketball season.

These things are way more work than I think he (or I?) realized but the main issue we have right now is that we have 3 rascally young cats...and oh, this aquarium is too delightful for them. We found one cat sitting on top of it trying to drink from the open filter sliver and another on his giant back legs peering - and there aren't even any fish in it yet! They'll be ready when the fish arrive; ready to feast. </p><p>May you be ready to feast on this week's waiver wire pickings, though honestly I'm not sure there are a ton of juicy contenders on this list. Read below for advice if you're curious about what to make of Zach Wilson or Michael Gallup moving forward, or who to stash for the bye weeks, etc.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>FantasyNerds.com's <a href="https://www.fantasynerds.com/nfl/waiver-wire">Waiver Wire Rankings</a> </li><li>ProFootballNetwork's <a href="https://www.profootballnetwork.com/top-waiver-wire-pickups-week-5-2022/">Early Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups</a></li><li>RotoBaller's <a href="https://www.rotoballer.com/waiver-wire-express-week-5-lightning-round-2/1076433">Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round</a> - note when you click on each player they highlight that you can get a nice strength of schedule visual for going forward.</li><li>NFL.com's video <a href="https://www.nfl.com/videos/kay-adams-week-5-fantasy-waiver-wire-targets">Kay Adams' Week 5 fantasy waiver wire targets</a></li><li>FantasyPros.com's <a href="https://www.fantasypros.com/2022/10/fantasy-football-week-5-waiver-wire-faab-advice-players-to-target-stash-drop-2022/">Week 5 Waiver Wire Rankings</a></li><li>CBSSports.com's <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/fantasy-football-early-week-5-waiver-wire-mike-boone-tyler-allgeier-and-george-pickens-lead-the-way/">Early Week 5 Week Waiver Wire</a></li></ul><div>For some other thoughts, take a look at FFToday.com's <a href="https://www.fftoday.com/rankings/rotw.php?o=1&PosID=10">Rest of the Way Rankings (QB & RB)</a> article, which may also be of help in making any waiver or trade transactions.</div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy some MNF tonight!</div><p></p>Fantasy Football Librarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10710042496167760096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-72412220271602161152022-09-28T12:58:00.002-04:002022-09-28T12:58:13.485-04:00Start/Sit Week 4 and a smattering of rankings<p>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 in 2022 for you and I'll spice things up. Happy Week 4!</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>5th Down's <a href="https://www.5thdownfantasy.com/fantasy-football/week-4-fantasy-football-start-em-or-sit-em/">Week 4 fantasy football start 'em or sit 'em</a> </li><li>The Athletic's <a href="https://theathletic.com/3635908/2022/09/28/fantasy-football-rankings-week-4-sleepers-starts-sits-russell-wilson-elijah-moore/">Week 4 goodness</a> - sleepers, rankings, SOS matchups, etc (some content still to come as the week goes on)</li><li>SI's <a href="https://www.si.com/fantasy/2022/09/28/start-em-sit-em-week-4-running-backs-2022">Start 'Em Sit 'Em Running Backs</a> (other positions linked off of here but keep your free article quotient in mind)</li><li>NFL.com's <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-fantasy-2022-start-em-sit-em-week-4-intro">Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Week Four</a> - links to all the positions are listed here</li><li>SportingNews's <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/fantasy/news/fantasy-football-start-em-sit-em-nfl-week-4-lineup-advice-best-matchups-dfs-picks/zch4tg1eqdsfrh9mzkalaszh">Start 'Em Sit 'Em: NFL Week 4 lineup advice, best matchups, DFS picks</a></li><li>Pro Football Network's <a href="https://www.profootballnetwork.com/early-fantasy-football-start-sit-week-4-2022/">Early Fantasy Football Start/Sit Week 4</a></li><li>Fantasy Data's <a href="https://fantasydata.com/start-em-sit-em-week-4">Start 'EM Sit 'EM Week 4</a></li><li>FantasySP's <a href="https://www.fantasysp.com/news/nfl/2920516/week-4-nfl-start-em--sit-em-quarterbacks-lock-and-load-trevor-lawrence">Week 4 NFL Start 'em & Sit 'em Quarterbacks: Lock and Load Trevor Lawrence</a></li><li>The Fantasy Footballers have a <a href="https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/who-should-i-start/">Who Should I Start?</a> tool comparing two players.
