This is the first Saturday in a long time that had some football. Who else is ready for this?

The level of concern over the health of Antonio Bryant might have to be raised after the Bengals revealed he has missed four straight practices.

The Seahawks knew that they were going to get a college-like enthusiasm from new coach Pete Carroll. But the organization is getting much more. Carroll installed a blue-white scrimmage, similar to a “spring game” recently, leaving me to wonder if lette…
Davone Bess had a pretty interesting radio interview on Tuesday morning, after witnessing an accident unfold in front of him.
Browns coach Eric Mangini said that Seneca Wallace will play this season. Though he did not say that Wallace would be the starter.
Dolphins WR Davone Bess is attached to No. 15, so new WR Brandon Marshall should look for a new number.
The trade of Brandon Marshall to Miami is great news for the fantasy value of Chad Henne and Eddie Royal.

Last week’s top sleeper was Jamaal Charles, and he came through in a big way for you on Sunday by gaining 181 yards from scrimmage and scoring a touchdown. Can we find you some more gems this week? Only time (specifically, four days) will tell.
Do remember that it’s usually wise to play your established fantasy forces over these sleepers, especially with the season on the line. I’m not suggesting you bench Roddy White or Wes Welker for our featured sleeper by any means. These sleepers are more for the people that have a hole to fill, thanks to owning guys like Steve Slaton or Kevin Smith. If you have any questions on whom you should start, join us for our chats Thursday and Sunday and we’ll help you out.
Dolphins WR/KR Davone Bess sustained an ankle injury during Sunday’s game against the Jaguars but came back shortly after being declared questionable to return.
I thought we’d do things a little differently this week. By this point, I expect that most of you know who you are starting and sitting during these critical weeks of the fantasy playoffs. As such, I don’t think you’ll need as much help deciding which players to start and sit.
Trust is as important a [...]

There’s no way you’d be able to guess the five receivers with the best average fantasy point total in their last three games. Go ahead and try, but there’s no way. Since you probably peeked by this point, let’s just go ahead and throw the names out there for discussion.
Robert Meachem. Percy Harvin. Calvin Johnson. Terrell Owens. Anquan Boldin.
Meachem was a relative no-name that has exploded in the second half, scoring touchdowns (seven total) in five straight games, including last week’s 142-yard display. Harvin was a highly-touted rookie that’s exceeded all expectations. Johnson/Megatron slumped, sat, and shone bright once again. Owens hit the waiver wire in most leagues and rewarded his second (or third, or fourth) team. Boldin has been as up-and-down as they come, scoring TDs in only three games this year.
What a list. Here’s another.

So here we are, in the playoffs. You’ve over-analyzed your Week 14 matchups to no end, and you still feel your missing a key part of the puzzle, the one thing that’ll lock you in as a 2009 fantasy football champion. Since we never leave you hanging, we’ve come up with a list of ten concepts to keep at the forefront of your mind for the next few weeks. Following these steps won’t guarantee success — nothing will — but I do hope they help out.

The Adds
Robert Meachem (WR, Saints, 1,551 adds) – Honestly, the fact that Meachem is still on the board and that we keep highlighting him every single week is embarrassing. The guy now has five consecutive games with a touchdown and one game with two touchdowns. What more will it take to get this guy on your roster?
There aren’t many names out there that I haven’t mentioned previously, but if you’re strengthening your roster for a playoff run, some favorable schedules make these players more lucrative grabs than others.
If you didn’t secure a quarterback with a favorable schedule during the fantasy playoffs, or if you are worried about your starter sitting down [...]

The playoffs are here, and with the many injuries that typically come from an NFL season, I’m sure a vast majority of our readers need to find a few sleepers to help advance to the next round of the playoffs.
I hope you’re not in that group. Ideally, you’ve been cruising with a core of Aaron Rodgers, Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Wes Welker, Roddy White, Miles Austin, Sidney Rice, and Vernon Davis (or some similar jackpot).
If you don’t fall into that lucky bunch, we have some more sleepers for you, whether you play in shallow, medium-sized, or deep leagues. If you see a player identified that you feel can get you to the next round, grab him. At this point, there are no second chances.
So hopefully you don’t need this list, but if you do …

According to Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune, Saints coach Sean Payton grew frustrated with Reggie Bush during their Week 13 games for lack of effort. Join the club Mr. Payton of every fantasy football owner who took a chance on Bush and is being jilted now with injuries or this nonsense about his intensity levels.
Reggie Bush played in his first game since missing the previous two with a bone bruise in his right knee. Sean Payton told Fox broadcasters he wanted to limit Bush to 20 snaps in the game, but Payton clearly grew frustrated with Bush near the end of the first half. First, Bush took a screen pass and nonchalantly stepped out of bounds short of the first down after a nine-yard gain.

Weeding through those unwieldy waiver wires requires a keen eye and a quick trigger. Thus, Waiver Wire Wonders provides a weekly snapshot of players worthy of consideration who should be available on a good portion of league waiver wires.
There’s no denying the harsh reality that occurs after this week in the majority of fantasy football leagues: the teams that missed the playoffs officially check out for the season. Hence, the waiver wire gets less competitive with only about half of the league interested in bettering their squad from here on out. Hopefully you qualify as one of these playoff bound juggernauts — which most likely you do since you are still reading — because the pickings are pretty slim this week, Still, make every single effort you can to optimize those lineups as the challenges of winning in the playoffs pile up. Most importantly, make sure you have depth for any stars likely to play limited roles due to clinching playoff berths (i.e., Indy) and make sure you have depth in the event of injury at every position.
