Fantasy Football Librarian

Happy Thanksgiving week. I'm sitting in a nearly empty library since the students here are all off for the holiday. Oh to be a student again. But I am going to Monday Night Football tonight, so nothing can wipe the perma-grin off my face. Go Broncos. Unless you've been living in a hole of some sort, you're likely aware that there are three NFL games on Thanksgiving, which means setting up your lineups a heck of a lot earlier than usual. So let's jump right into things and see who might be out there on your waiver wire - or perhaps more importantly at this time of year, who are the sleepers for Week 12? FF Goat's Fantasy Football Sleeper and Waiver Wire Watch Week 12 - okay, I have to get this off my chest...I recommended to one of you that you sit Santana Moss this week. I hope that you disregarded my advice but in case you didn't, my deepest apologies. Moss and Campbell looked great yesterday - and I also like the Goat's suggestion of Drew Carter. Should S...

FF Today's IDP Notes: Week 11 - I mean this guy goes way beyond just suggesting names, it's like reading a play-by-play for some of these IDPs. Well done.

Happy Friday and here are your consensus start/sits for Week 11. As noted before, I go through all the start or sit sites that I linked to yesterday and today (see below) and find the most common start or sit players for each position. Use this as a guide of course since everyone's lineup is different.

I just checked my online chat account for the first time in way too long and realized I've neglected my fantasy football chat recently (the chat is that gray box to the top right of the page). My apologies! Work has been beyond busy but that's probably true for most of us. My plan is to get online a couple nights a week and hopefully on Sunday mornings before game time. And this week, I will definitely be online and available to chat on Friday afternoon (keep in mind I'm on mountain time). So if I never got back to you about a lineup question, I'm sorry about that, and try me again another time!
