Fantasy Football Sleeper and Waiver Wire Watch Week 10

FFGoat

Well here we are, one last week of bye's and we are in the home stretch. Lets see if there are any players available to help you through next week and beyond.

May be available now...

Sage Rosenfels QB (HOU) -If Schaub misses any time, Sage steps in. As explosive as the Houston offense is, he would be someone you would consider starting week to week. Grab him if it is not looking good for Schaub OR if you own Schaub.

Dan Orlovsky QB (DET) - His 292 and 2 touchdowns performanc [...]

Fantasy Football Sleeper and Waiver Wire Watch Week 5

FFGoat

Building this list was a little tricky this week but I managed to find a few players worth picking up and list a few more that you can add to your watch list. Check them out.

May be available now...

Kyle Orton QB (CHI) - Don't look now but Mr. Orton is starting to look like a fantasy QB. I recommended that you pick him you last week and I am doing it again this week. And after a 334 yard, 2 touchdown performance against Detroit I am doing i [...]

Fantasy Football Sleeper and Waiver Wire Watch Week 4

FFGoat

Can you believe how crazy this season is? Denver loses to Kansas City. Favre and Coles both questionable early only to go on to light up the Cards for 56. Braylon Edwards finally gets a touchdown in week four. And Washington, looking as bad as they did week one, goes into Dallas and wins. Damn!

As hard as it is to predict any of this mayhem, there are still plenty of safe bets when it comes to grabbing guys off of the waiver wire. Look at what I have for you today [...]

2008 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks Volume 4

FFGoat

With the preseason dress rehearsals in the books we are less than two weeks away from opening day. Hell yeah! This week the list is a little smaller but the value is just as big. So, whether you have drafted already or are still prepping for it, todays players should be very useful in your quest for that title. Running Back Steve Slaton RB (HOU) - Not sure he is a sleeper at this point - since his name is beginning to pop up everywhere - but he should still have some value with serious upside [...]

2008 NFL Expert Picks, Predictions and Fantasy Football Notes - NFC East

FFGoat

So far on my predictive trip through the league, picking the Browns over the Steelers in the AFC North has sparked the most debate - and some pretty heated trash talk ta boot. But, I have a feeling this post will have no problem topping that.

This week I take on the ultra competitive NFC east. I have a feeling that all you fans of the teams in this division are a pretty passionate bunch so it should be interesting.

Anyway, let get to it. Seeing as how the Gi [...]

A Super Bowl XLII Lock and a Few Beer Commercials (Video)

FFGoat

I think that you and I can agree that one of the greatest things about the Super Bowl - other then football and Tom Petty at half - is the beer and commercials. So rather than just give you my Super Bowl prediction this week I figured I would dish out a few beer commercials for your enjoyment as well.

The Lock
I have been having a pretty decent post season, if I do say so myself. I am 7-3 coming into this week and I am looking at winning my eighth so let lets get to it.

T minus 6 until the Super Bowl

fflibrarian

This week the Super Bowl madness begins. I think right now we're probably all jealous of those who are already in Glendale or are en route to Glendale. I know I'd probably sacrifice something ridiculously crucial like my right hand to have the chance to experience Super Bowl week. Okay, maybe my left hand. But let's dive into some football links here...

As if anyone actually thought that Brady wouldn't play in the Super Bowl - he has confirmed that he will be good to go on [...]

Obvious NFL Expert Picks: Superbowl XXXI Rematch?

FFGoat

I am going to keep this one short because I am betting you have read about ten other prediction just like this. It is just that I am 6 and 2 guessing the games in the playoffs so I might as well keep it rolling. Here you go.

Green Bay (-7) over New York
The Giants are a pesky group but I don’t see taking this one straight up. However, I can definitely see them covering. Regardless, it will be interesting considering that gametime temps are forecas [...]

Playoff Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet and Sleepers Week 2

FFGoat

There were some pretty surprising performances last week. Antwaan Randle El, Vincent Jackson and D.J. Hackett far exceeded expectations while usual studs like Plaxico Burress and Clinton Portis laid a freakin egg.

As for my sleepers selections last week, Shaun Alexander, Nate Keading and Jeremy Stevens didn’t work out as well as I thought. But, Shaun and Nate each have a legitimate shot at posting some solid numbers this week.

Hopefully you took my a [...]

Tasty Wildcard NFL Expert Picks

FFGoat

Other than the early season NFL expert picks panel I was in earlier in the year over at the NFLMinute, I don’t usually do picks. But, this week I am excited about the NFL playoffs so I figured I would give you my picks as well as a few other links where you can find even more.

Seattle vs Washington
Even though Portis is hot and Collin has been solid I think there’s another factor to consider. In order to stop the Seahawks, the Redskins will need to be able to pressu [...]

Dallas to Tank: Guns are OK Here!

gibby

Tank Johnson is officially a Dallas Cowboy and he’s lucky to land in a State that loves them some guns! Yee haa. After tripping up with the law and with the league over gun issues, Tank Johnson will be able to relax in Texas, possibly even discussing the merits of a Glock 24 with fellow team mates and the local citizenry.

The right to bear arms aside; this is a great deal for both parties. Tank will arrive, following his NFL mandated suspension, right around the tim [...]
