With the season rapidly approaching and nary a post since March, you might assume that the FFGeeks have gone to the great waiver wire in the sky - but that's not the case. As I mentioned back in January, Brandon and I have been feeling the need to do something a little different from the standard blog format. We've been brainstorming quite a bit lately, and we're getting somewhere closer to what you might call a concrete plan which, if we can implement it as we envision it now, could be a lot of fun and a great resource for fantasy football players.

Has Brandon Marshall officially become the Ron Artest of the NFL, in that even when he stays out of trouble for a year or two, there's still something unsettling about that look in his eyes? I mean, given that he's definitely facing a suspension in '09, he's wayyyy down on everyone's cheat sheet this season, but what if he keeps the crazy under wraps for the rest of the season and has some monster games? Will you trust him enough to make him your WR1 in 2010?

Obviously, Brandon and I have taken a much-needed break from any real posting for the past month or so. I definitely needed to get away from the fantasy football world for a little while.

Vegas is giving Pittsburgh a 6.5-point edge in Super Bowl XLIII. Meanwhile, the only thing anyone seems to be talking about is Larry Fitzgerald - a damn fine receiver, no doubt, but that's hardly a reason to think the Cards aren't still significant underdogs in this one, right?

Those of you who read this blog regularly might know that I'm a web developer by day (and Batman by night... wait, redact! Redact!). Brandon and I have been batting around a few ideas for making this site more informative and useful for fantasy football players, and we're not necessarily limiting those ideas to the blog format.

I've never paid much attention to playoff fantasy leagues. They're missing just about everything I love about fantasy football - trades, waivers, a three-hour draft that largely determines the team you have to live with for an entire season, and so on. I tried out NFL.com's playoff challenge a couple of years back, forgot about my team after the first week, and that was pretty much that.

Dear Antonio,

Where some teachers would see a classroom full of students who have had difficulty learning math via traditional teaching methods, others see a great excuse to start a fantasy football league. The draft is handled basically the same way, but after that, the numbers are crunched much differently from the way lazy slobs like you and I do it. Instead of using a website to track their players' performances, they look up the numbers in the newspaper and calculate it by hand. Screw something up in your multiplication, or forget to factor in a fumble, and your team is docked points. Seems like an awesome motivational tool to me.

Now that we're halfway through the season, I'm curious as to what websites our readers are using to manage their fantasy football leagues. We generally offer player ownership statistics for Yahoo and ESPN leagues (as in, "Pierre Thomas is available in 72% of Yahoo and ESPN leagues"), but that's not too helpful if the majority of our visitors are hosting their leagues elsewhere.

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; 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.
