Week 16 Waiver Saviors



QB- Sam Bradford- Had a very respectable 377 yd, 3 TD's, 1 Int performance, against the Vikings that showed a lot of potential in a 36-22 loss Sunday. He plays a Tampa Bay Defense this week that has been struggling against the pass game all season long.

QB- Russell Wilson- 92 yds and 3 TD's on the ground last week make Wilson a viable QB this week for needy teams in the championship hunt. He plays a tough San Francisco Def this week but should still have a strong performance over the final 2 weeks.

RB- Jackie Battle- Ryan Mathews is out for the year, simply meaning another RB must rise into fantasy relevance. That running-back is Battle. We all know that he is a one way runner and does not have the ability to make defenders miss but his brute strength and power allow him to be a dominant goal line presence the remainder of the season if he can hold on to the starting job if Ronnie Brown comes back.

WR- Rod Streater- The undrafted rookie receiver out of Temple has been the leading WR for Oakland over the last 3 games and should he continue that trend, is a good WR3 the final 2 weeks.

TE- Dennis Pitta- 10 targets, 7 catches, 125 yds and 2 TD's shows that he is one of Flacco's favorite targets. He started the season off hot only to fall from relevance in the middle of the season. He has put together respectable games 4 of the last 6 weeks and at the TE position I like my odds if i am a TE needy team.

DEF- Colts- Playing against Ricky Stanzi this week. That would be enough to make the colts a great defense stream. The Chiefs also allow an average of 12 pts to fantasy defenses per week. Other options this week are the Patriots against Jacksonville

My First Fantasy Basketball League: Week 6 - Standings Dropper

Check out Week 5 results here.

Battled back last week, taking two categories on the final day to win the week 6-5-0. The Champ Is Here routed me in the big man stats, winning both rebounding categories, blocks, and also taking points. Thankfully my point guards stepped up big this week and I edged out the victory.

My First Fantasy Basketball League: Week 5 - Learning To Lose

 Check out week 4 results here.

Injuries finally got the best of me this week, and I posted the first loss in my fantasy basketball career. After starting the season 3-0 in weekly matchups, I was beaten week 4 by Jacksonville Beers 4-7-0. Still not having Kyrie Irving back after losing him last week hurt, but Jason Kidd missing the week made it nearly impossible that I'd win the 3-point or assist catagories. I got destroyed in 3PM and AST, so the only one I stood a chance in was TP% but he squeaked out a 2.5% edge.
