Week 8 Waiver Wire Fantasy Football Pickups

Week 8 Waiver Wire NFL Pickups

David Clowney WR NYJ - Clowney should continue to start for another week or two. If you are in bad shape as most people are at WR through the bye weeks he is not a bad pickup.

Justin Fargas RB OAK - Fargas is on a terrible team however he will still be the go to go guy for at least the next few weeks and he can give you 5-10 points which is going to get you through the bye weeks if you need him.

Caddy Williams RB TB - He has been on and off this year but not a bad waiver spot if you need a RB. He is available in most leagues still and can do what Fargas can points wise. He is on my bench.

Hakeem Nicks WR NYG - If you have not got him yet and he is still there (smaller leagues) grab him up. He finds a way to get to the endzone and is a starter now on my team over Kevin Walter for the 3WR slot..

Alex Smith QB SF - The 49'ers are a good team and Smith looked great this past week. He may be worth stashing for future use.

Anybody on New England - The Patriots have a great schedule in the fantasy football playoffs so if you can pick up the defense or one of the WR's it will help you down the road. The browns and rams will provide plenty of points down the road to help your team advance.

Arizona Cardinals Defense - After an impressive victory against the Giants on the road this team is ready to come into its Super Bowl form. The defense should be picked up in all leagues, especially this week against the miserable Panthers.

NFL Week 6 Game Predictions









HOU @ CIN - I will take the cardiac cats by 10 over the texans, 24-14. Benson runs for 2 TD's.

DET @ GB - Green Bay by 3 TD's, 24-3 Ryan Grant goes for over 100 and 2 TD's.

STL @ JAC - I like the Jags by 2 TD's playing at home , 28-14. MJD 2-3 TD's

BAL @ MIN - This one is a toss up but I will take the home team, Vikings win 24-21

NYG @ NO - Best game of the week and I will take the Giants by a field goal, 31-28

CLE @ PIT - The Browns are pathetic, steelers win big at home, 35-3

KC @ WAS - I am starting to like KC for some reason, the Chiefs finally get a win and Jamal Charles takes the starting job from LJ, 17-10 Chiefs win.

PHI @ OAK - The Eagles win this scrimmage, 38-9

ARI @ SEA - This will be a close one, I will take the home team by a field goal 24-21

TEN @ NE - Brady will throw for 3 TD's and morris will run for one as the Patriots win 27-17

BUF @ NYJ - The Jets bounce back after my dolphins took them down, 21-10 Jets

CHI @ ATL - The A is back and the bears are beat up, the falcons do it through the air and win 24-14

DEN @ SD - The Broncos are for real because Tom Brady had a bad day. San Diego has to win this game, if they can stop the Denver run game they can win this game. I think they will and hand the Broncos their first loss of the season. LT gets a touchdown and Rivers throws for 2 more. 27-24 Chargers win.

NBA Live 10 or NBA 2k10

I had them both and I kept Live. While 2k10 is a great game and has the best graphics I have seen yet on PS3, Live is much better. 2K10 has virtually no online gaming. The servers are very slow and its just miserable to play on. Live has lighting servers and a ton of people ready to play. Live has also fixed the defense issues from last year. Once the update patch comes out to fix the steals issue it will be a fantastic game. I have laid down every game I have, except hot shots golf of course, to play live. If you do not play online then you could try them both and see which you like. The build a player segment on 2k is a blast but both games are good offline. They both have plenty of glitches but 2k as of right now has way more.


Winner:
NBA Live 2010

Picks of the week













These are the guys I expect to get an interception this week.

Ed Reed against Favre
Darren Sharper against Eli
Asante Samuel or Sheldon Brown against the Raiders
Charles Woodson against the Lions

Week 6 waiver wire pickups

Week 6 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups


Hakeem Nicks NYG - The rookie from North Carolina is finally on the fantasy radar.In his last year at UNC Nicks put up 1222 yards at an average of 18 yards per catchand 12 touchdowns. So far for the Giants Nicks has fought off an injury and put up 121 yards and 2 td's in just 3 games. The looks he gets from Eli are going up every week and I expect this to continue. Nicks large size and glue-like hands make him a must have off the waiver if he is still there.

Jamaal Charles KC - The former Texas Longhorn is a bad half or one big play away from the starting position for the Chiefs. Larry Johnson has been aging for the past 2 seasons and Charles is quicker and more agile. With Matt Cassel playing well and Bowe coming around at wide receiver after the injury there is a call being heard in Kansas to play Charles. I expect it to happen over the next 2-3 week at most.

Justin Durant JAC - Durant has been very consistent for IDP needs this season. He has at least 5 tackles in every game this year and had 10 against Indy in week one. He does not get the sacks but if you need a solid bye week fill in pick him up, he will not let you down.

Darren Sharper NO - Owned in only half the leagues Sharper leads the NFL in interceptions so far this year with 5. He also has 10 solo tackles and half a sack. Add in 2 touchdowns and he is a guy to consider for IDP.

Please SHUT UP!


Jesse Palmer (Former FU Grad) - ESPN, what the hell are you doing these days. I cannot even enjoy a good Thursday night football game on your network anymore because this ABC's The Bachelor failure will not shut up. He could not cut it as a Giants QB even though he only had to beat out Kerry "I'm 55" Collins. He could not keep the starter job at FU and now he cannot call college football games. Are you telling me Mark May, Lou the Flu and Palmer are the best you can do? Watching these guys is like having a kidney stone. Get them off the air! While your at it stop doing the court is in session segments. Its plain stupid and pointless.

Guys hanging out at video game stores - Have you ever walked into your local gamestop or ebgames only to find the nerd hanging out at the counter talking to the nerd manager about the latest and greatest in video games. Get a life! Get a girlfriend! If you want to talk games do it with your friends in private. Please do not stand in the way of the store talking about your latest WOW figure or your thoughts on the new spiderman game. I will defend the manager here because he is just doing his job.

USF Fans - You just got whipped on national tv by Cincy (the basketball school). You are not a top team, you never will be and nobody outside of tampa cares about you. Now go back to your overgrown community college and drink natty till you pass out. However remember today and how fired up about this game you were because it will be deja vu when the Noles come to town next year.

Thats it for now

IDP Rankings Week 6

This week I would pick up Carolina's Defense if they are on the waiver. Tampa Bay is miserable and will give the ball up at least 2 times. They also will not score over 14 points. Another Defense to consider is New England, they are starting to gel and against Collins and the Titans they should be able to put up some points. I also like them in the long term, they finish out against the Bills and the Jaguars. Look for Jon Beason and Julius Peppers to have huge weeks for Carolina.

1. Jon Beason
2. Julius Peppers
3. Jared Allen
4. James Harrison
5. Elvis Dumervil
6. Charles Woodson
7. Antwan Odom
8. Justin Tuck
9. D.J. Williams
10. Thomas Davis
11. Kirk Morrison
12. Karlos Dansby
13. Daryl Smith
14. D'Qwell Jackson
15. Ray Lewis

17. Keith Bulluck
18. DeMeco Ryans
19. Barrett Ruud
20. Antoine Winfield
21. Ed Reed
22. Aaron Schobel
23. Mike Peterson
24. Calvin Pace

28. Antrel Rolle
29. Jonathan Vilma
30. Chris Harris
