Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 9

October 29th, 2008 kNuke Posted in NFL | No Comments »

Now that the World Series is over, time to refocus on your Fantasy Football team.  Only a couple more Bye weeks left.

New Orleans, San Diego, San Francisco, and Carolina are the casualties this week.

QB: Marc Bulger has the Cardinals this week.  He’s the best option for you Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers owners.

RB: Ryan Torian is all the rage.  Pick him up now and trade him away in a packaged deal.  Everyone is picking up BenJarvus Green-Ellis, but I think Kevin Faulk is a better fantasy option.  Plus he’s probably still available in your league.

WR: Matt Jones is still a good play while he’s eligible.  Nate Washington and Brandon Lloyd are longer-term adds.  Personally I like Lloyd, remember he was all the rage earlier this season.

TE: Visanthe Shiancoe scores points, give him a try.

K: I don’t put kickers on here very often, but if Robbie Gould is available, pick him up for this week.  My usual strategy is to find the kicker playing against Detriot, Kansas City, or Denver.

Week 9 usually means some teams are out of contention.  If that’s you, don’t throw in the towel, waive a bunch of players or partake in a ridiculous trade.  Even though you can’t win the championship, you can still play spoiler and talk smack for at least a week!  And whatever you do, don’t come in last!!!

Drop me a line if you have any questions you need help answering.
