Adam Henrique needs to be grabbed now that he’s on the Devils’ top line. Now is the winter of our discontent. Okay, so that’s not really the case, Fantasy hockey fans. November comes first and usually the Fantasy rain falls before Old Man Winter truly arrives. The cold reality of those October hot streaks fade […]
The Wire Troll: Jump on the Adam Henrique Bandwagon Read Post »
He’s big, he’s fast and he can flat-out play. The rookie missed the first six games of the season recovering from a thumb injury, but he exploded on Monday for five catches, 82 yards and a touchdown against San Diego. The Chiefs grabbed this guy in the first round for a reason, and he should see plenty of targets from here on out. Go get him.

As we went fishing this week, looking for the best bets to help your Fantasy team, we also thought about specific categories that a GM might need to push them over the top most weeks. Taking all the variables into the equation was the hardest part.

Injuries have played a huge role in shaping the Fantasy football landscape this season, and this week the Washington Redskins took an especially hard hit, losing both their top runner and receiver to maladies that will sideline them for an extended period. The backfield situations in Arizona and Denver are also in flux, so opportunities for waiver-wire wizardry abound in these three locales. Elsewhere, many quality players may be sitting on your league wire as a result of being dropped for their bye weeks; be sure to have a close look and make that claim if you see a player that can help your Fantasy cause.

That second-rounder will become a first if the Raiders win a playoff game, so the price to bring Palmer back to the west coast was steep indeed. We find it hard to believe that he’ll live up to his hefty price tag, but Palmer should be fine once he beats out Boller — which will probably have happened by the time you read this. Grab Palmer in all formats and stash him for a tasty matchup.

Loney was toiling through a rather pedestrian year, even by his standards, but he caught fire in mid-August. For those that took the plunge over the final six weeks he provided you with seven homers, 28 RBI and an amazing .388 BA. Who could have seen that one coming? Will it be enough to save Loney from being non-tendered by the Dodgers? Time will tell.

Well, what have we here? Painter threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns — without a pick — against Kansas City in Week Five, thus solidifying his hold on the Colts’ starting job. There’s a downside here, though: 237 of Painter’s yards came in the first half, and that kind of inconsistency should be expected as he adapts to the NFL. He is making progress, though, and as long as he’s at the helm of the Colts’ weapon-laden offense, he’s worthy of consideration in larger Fantasy leagues. He faces a tough matchup in Cincy this week, but Painter is a serviceable option in two-quarterback leagues if one of your regulars is on a bye.
