  • Waiver Suggestions before Matchup #5

    We didn’t really learn a whole lot from Matchup #4 in terms of waiver suggestions that we didn’t already know. All the prior waiver advice is still valid.

  • Waiver Suggestions before Matchup #4

    We’re at the point of the regular season where the waiver wire offers some pretty slim pickings. I don’t like to repeat myself often, but my last waiver wire advice does still water as well as the one before that, albeit less so. In other words, if there are unowned players who either have appeared…

  • Waiver Suggestions before Matchup #3

    Matchup #2 is all but in the books, and in hindsight, this matchup should’ve been shorter. But when the matchup schedule was finalized, we didn’t know when the AFI was going to announce their top ten films of the year, not to mention nomination announcements from regional critics groups such as  Las Vegas Film Critics…

  • Waiver Suggestions Before Matchup #2

    This is the LAST matchup of the regular season. You might be fighting for that last playoff spot, or maybe you’re fighting for a bye week in the first round of the playoffs. Either way, you might be able to find some help on the waiver wire. As always, the best resource for waiver wire…

  • Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #7

    This matchup is VERY quick, lasting only three days! January 9 has NINE ceremonies scheduled, so that last day of the matchup is going to be absolutely wild. At this point of the season, the waiver wire is pretty sparse, but there could be a player that another team dropped, so, as always, the best…

  • Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #6

    The Oscar shortlists have been announced! So the waiver wire rankings here are more focused on that than anything else. The technical categories are vitally important in Matchup #8, when many guild awards announce their nominees. You can’t afford to miss out on those points, so jump on the waiver wire now. Also, technical categories…

  • Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #5

    We are over the midpoint of the regular season with the conclusion of Matchup #4. This is where it’s becoming quite clear which team is the team to beat, and congratulations if that team is yours. If your team has a couple losses and are on the cusp of making the playoffs, it’s not too…

  • Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #4

    After a very short, but WILD, Matchup #3, we’re already prepping for Matchup #4. Reminder that waivers are due at 6:00 pm EST and will be processed shortly thereafter.
