Resources while I'm on my bye week

Well the time has finally come and our son is here! I'm taking some time off from blogging to get acquainted with this new little dude and will have a few guest posts up over the next several days. Hope you enjoy some new perspectives - but for those of you wondering where I'm still going for my fantasy football news while I'm on a baby bye, I've put together this post to take you to some of my top FF resources. Other sites that offer an aggregated list of FF resources: Fantasy Sports Central's Daily Planner The Hazean - note that Michael offers both his own material and links to other sites FantasyFootball.com's articles section If I could only visit a handful of fantasy football websites, my top sites would be: Rotoworld - check the headlines page , the various feature articles , and the Pancake Blocks blog . FFToday.com - you'll find waiver wire advice, IDP info, weekly projections, and more. Yahoo's Roto Arcade - humor injected into sma...

Week 4 advice - rankings, start/sit, etc

It has been a long day of wandering around Manhattan heading to different doctors for the latest on the baby that seems to have lodged permanently inside of me, rather than joining us in this great, wide, football-licious world. So I'm looking for a little mid-week distraction tonight and what helps you through a Wednesday better than a bunch of FF resources? Right, nothing. So read on for some great advice on how to secure a win with this first week of byes. A few more waiver wire links for those of you whose waiver requests haven't cleared yet or are looking for some free agent acquisitions still: The Talented Mr. Roto's Pickups and a pick-me-up - some interesting did-they-make-the-playoffs? stats on teams that were 0-3 or 3-0 (and everything in between) back in 2009.

Wandering through waivers

Well now that was an entertaining MNF game last night. I don't have Aaron Rodgers on any of my fantasy teams this year but am so used to rooting for him since he's one of two main reasons I won a trip to the Super Bowl last year (the other reason being CJ), so I was definitely pulling for the Packers last night. But most of all I was pulling for an entertaining game, which worked out quite nicely for me really. Today's focus is of course waiver wire articles so let's get right to them: Waiver wire suggestions: Waiver Wire Wonders from FantasySharks.com FFGeekBlog's The Wire - Week 4 Pick-ups FFToolbox.com's Week 4: Pickups of the Week RotoExpert.com's Fantasy Football: Advance Scout Football Jabber's Waiver Wire Watching Week Four FantasyOMatic.com's Waivers: Week Four Slightly different twist, Fantasy Fortunes has their weekly Free Agent Acquisition Budget article up with values for RBs like BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Peyton Hillis, and Wi...

Crazy RB injuries = lots of Monday updates

I'm like the energizer librarian: I just keep on going and going, still rocking the overdue baby, which means more blog posts for you all. Mondays are quiet days on the fantasy front but there's plenty of info out there, especially for those looking to set some waiver wire requests for the week. So let's get right to it... As a treat for still being full of baby, my husband and I finally bit the bullet and subscribed to the Red Zone channel. Gotta say the host must be the ultimate ADD multitasker, but man, that channel is just plain awesomeness, especially when you're not particularly psyched about the matchup you're otherwise forced the watch (I'm talking to you, Giants). So first up today, some game recaps and player updates in case you don't have the Red Zone or missed any details from yesterday's games: Roto Arcade's 7-on-7: Updates on Jackson, Rice, Best, PT, AJ Injuries - oh and Garrett Hartley owners take note that he's possibly on the ...

Consensus start/sit Week 3

If you're new to the consensus start/sit list I do, just a reminder that it's basically a tally of all the start/sit votes that players get in the various start/sit articles that I link to throughout the week. The players are listed in no particular order and should always be considered in the context of your individual team and options. Good luck this week! QB Start: Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb Joe Flacco, Carson Palmer (got almost as many sit votes though...), Brett Favre (also got quite a few sit votes) Sit: Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning RB Start: LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, Pierre Thomas, Tim Hightower Sit: Brandon Jackson, Jerome Harrison, Cadillac Williams, Jamal Charles, Ronnie Brown WR Start: Santana Moss, Mark Clayton, Malcolm Floyd Sit: Steve Smith (CAR - though NYG was also not beloved this week), Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe TE Start: Chris Cooley, Visanthe Shiancoe, Dustin Keller, Mercedes Lewis Sit: Greg Olsen, Kellen Winslow,...

Tools to help with Week 3 decisions

For those of you who have thoughtfully sent e-mails congratulating me on this baby-to-be or have checked in to see how things are going, I just wanted to share my thanks in case I don't get a chance to e-mail you back. Tomorrow is my due date but this baby doesn't seem to be in a rush to join us - stunning, since I was sure he'd want to be around for the Broncos vs Colts showdown in our household on Sunday (my husband is a Colts fan, I'm a Broncos fan). I've been trying to post a lot this week since I have oh, not much else to do other than contemplate my baby status, so hopefully this week has offered you all plenty of resources. I'm pulling together a post with some of my top go-to resources that you'll want to scope out while I take a few days off post-baby...whenever that much anticipated day comes. So enough on babies, let's get to football. Lots and lots of start/sit material to start us off... Start/sit linkage - keep in mind that I'll be ...

Start/sit and rankings for Week 3

I can never decide if Autumn or Spring is my favorite season but I think Autumn might have a slight edge what with the whole football thing going for it. So I'm exceedingly pleased to welcome the first day of fall today. Granted, Mother Nature didn't quite get the message since it's supposed to be around 90 degrees here in NYC tomorrow, but that's fine, it's like one last hurrah before summer slides on out. This all means that Week 3 is around the corner and fortunately for all of us the start/sit suggestions are cranking and there are plenty of rankings and projections to turn to as well.
