Won’t be long now and the fantasy playoff will be here and there is no room for error. SOOO, lets make sure you have quality contributors to put in your line-up and make sure you keep the dead weight out of it. Check this list!

Start em if you got em…

Arizona D – These dudes are on a tear – 7 int’s, 8 forced fumbles and 16 sacks this year already – and guess who’s comin to town – Jake “the Turnover Machine” Delhomme. I don’t think it takes much more convincing than that.  Oh, and I bet you can find them on your waiver wire. Look for 4 sacks, less than 14 points, 3 picks and a TD.

Well I called the Jets success in the running game last week but the Cinci D didn’t help at all with the Schaub prediction.  Just when you were ready to start believing in the Bengals, they take a step back. Typical!

But then again, that Texans O isn’t exactly chopped liver and perhaps the Bengals were a little emotionally fatigued after all the tough division games combined with the events surrounding the surprising death of the defensive coordinators wife.

Either way, you can’t win them all. But, it sure as hell isn’t gonna keep me from tryin. Take a look at this weeks picks.

Start em if you got em…

Ryan Grant RB (GB) The Browns are allowing 165 yards per game to apposing running backs and, on top of that, they’ve given up 9 touchdowns in six games (do the math). And if the Packers are smart they will concentrate on running the ball both to exploit the weak Browns rushing D and to keep Rodgers upright (something the injuries along the line have been preventing them from doing.  I think 115+ yards and 1+ touchdown are very doable don’t you?

Alright, lets not waste any time this week. Lets get down to business. Here are you starts, sits and sleepers for week 2. Bottoms up!

Start em if you got em…

Willie Parker RB (PIT) -  I really don’t like him overall but I think this week Tomlin and the Steelers will make an extra effort to get the running game on track after a poor outing last week. Plus, with Urlacher out, the Bears D becomes very average – and they weren’t the best run stopping team to begin with (did you notice how Ryan Grant started gashing them last week as the game went on?). I foresee 100 and 2 touchdowns for the fast one. Read the rest of this entry

If your fantasy squad didn’t quite perform like you thought is was gonna this year – and you are gonna miss your leagues playoffs because guys like Braylon Edward forgot how to catch – there is still a chance for you to compete if you haven’t quite had your fill – or not.  Here are a few ideas that can help you fill the void this Sunday.

1) Join RotoHog.com
Why let all of that studying and knowledge go to waste. Go over to RotoHog.comand compete for some of those weekly prizes they are giving out. Top ten scores of the week get to pick out prizes like NFL jerseys, Nintendo Wii’s, Sony PSP’s and more.

I have been playing over there for over a year now and I love it. Stop in and see why I think it just might be the fairest way to play fantasy football.

2) Spend time with your family and/or friends
Each second you spend honing your squad is time spent away from family and friends. Maybe you could make good by spending some quality time with your gal and/or the family. Go to a movie or out to a nice restaurant to show them you still care.

Besides, the NFL play-offs will be here soon and you’ll need a few brownie points if you want watch all the action.

There you have it; play some more fantasy with the boys over at RotoHog.comor spend some quality time with loved ones. Either way I don’t see how you can go wrong. Hell you could probably do both if you know your stuff.

Hot off the presses and ready for you to go listen to; the recorded version of Waiver Wire Live is ready. Go here ->  Waiver Wire Live.
