After taking a much needed break from the fantasy football world, all this recent talk of impact players finding new homes has got a thrill going up my leg and forced me to make my glorious return. As you are probably very aware, the free agency period in the NFL has begun and I figured it was time to put up a post summarizing the latest in who-went-where news:
At this point, it's really anybody's guess as to where soon-to-be free agent Houshmanzilly will be playing next season, so it's nearly impossible to say how much we're going to like him going into this year's draft. If he lands in a situation with sky's-the-limit potential, don't be surprised to see him become the trendy #2 WR taken in drafts (after Fitzgerald, who probably has a lock on the top WR pick). Nobody wants to pass on this year's version of Randy Moss circa 2007, and all of the other options for #2 WR taken have question marks:
Of all the cars out there to get a nickname from (see: Cadillac Williams), I'm not sure I would want people calling me the name of one of the worst new vehicles to come out this century, but whatever works I guess! It apparently IS working for Saints running back Pierre Thomas, who has put up some great fantasy numbers over the past few weeks in an offense that is traditionally pass-first (and made a lot of fantasy team managers very happy in the process.) This weekend you should have the PT Cruiser parked right in the RB1 or RB2 slot on your roster when the Saints head to Detroit, helping your team cruise to a fantasy football championship!
In case you weren't aware, not only do we have a Thursday game this week, but we also have a Saturday game now that college football is coming to an end. I'll get to my official HIts and Misses post at some point over the next day or so, but I wanted to get started with the game tonight, which features a few players that could hurt/help your chances at winning that Championship (or third place game) this week (or next week) as the Indianapolis Colts head to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars, so here we go...

As we head to the CHAMPIONSHIP, there's a pretty good chance that your team is already set and you are not in need of any desperation picks. Just in case though, here's a look at the players to target on your league's waiver wire this week. This list is ordered by the percentage of ESPN leagues in which the player is available, but even if you're not a ESPN user, it's a decent indication of how likely you are to find the player on waivers in your league. We also note here how strongly we feel about this pickup with three categories: Instant Starter, Grab 'n' Stash, or Desperation Pickup.
In most of my leagues, week 15 means we're two games away from a 2008 fantasy football championship, so the hits and misses this week are magnified dramatically. In some twist of fate, neither of my best fantasy teams were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs this year, meaning I'm right there with you in using my own advice to get to the next round.

After taking a break for the holidays (although I still put up a brief hit/miss post for Turkey Day), let's get back into the action for what is most likely week one of the playoffs in many fantasy football leagues out there. This week we kick it off with a regular on the "Hit" list, Mr. Adrian Peterson, who has a great match-up against the Lions. Last time Purple Jesus played Detroit he rushed for 111 yards and fumbled twice...but this time I think it'll be a little better...

We're at least as qualified as Funston.
