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.

With the playoffs in action in many of the fantasy leagues out there, let's just jump into the action that took place this weekend, starting with the Saints and their resurgent ground game...

It's been 13 weeks since the season started and four since my last posting of the top 25 fantasy football players in the game. As I mentioned last time, this is a list of the top fantasy football scorers so far this season, based on a non-PPR league that Matt and I are in, which follows near-standard scoring rules...

It's been nine weeks since the season started, and three since my last posting of the top 25 fantasy football players in the game. As I mentioned last time, this list is based on a non-PPR league that Matt and I are in, which follows pretty standard scoring rules. At this point, most teams have had their bye, so the stats paint a pretty accurate picture of the players effectiveness this season.

In a weekend where the Saints and Chargers put on a jolly good show for those fortunate enough to witness the game in London, the real star this past Sunday was a guy who was questionable to even play. Philadelphia running back (although calling him just a running back is quite an understatement) Brian Westbrook left his team's week six match with the 49er's with what would be confirmed as fractured ribs and coming into this weekend, it was up in the air if he would even play. However, I guess a bye week was just what the doctor ordered to heal those ribs, because Westbrook went off in a big way! For those managers brave enough to plug him into their line-up, you were rewarded heavily after he rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns, while catching six balls for an additional 42 yards (for a whopping total of 209 yards and two scores!) It's likely that Westbrook single-handedly beat a few fantasy teams out there. Anyways, enough drooling over Westbrook...let's get to the rest of the action from the weekend...

So it looks like the FFGeekBlog cover curse lives on as Matt Cassel and the Patriots receivers managed to fall flat on their face last weekend against the Chargers. I'm not sure what it is that causes every player I mention in the headline to go out of their way to play terribly, but we're switching it up a bit in hopes that it doesn't continue. You'll notice that the post has been renamed Hits/Misses, instead of Studs/Duds (maybe it was the use of the word "stud" or something), so we'll continue using this new name and hope that my luck can change.

Well after a good set of predictions for week two, maybe I should have taken another week off before putting up my next Studs/Duds post. In week four I ended up with only a 9-6-7 (correct-incorrect-push) record as the non-existent Jacksonville rushing attack and Selvin Young did their best to sabotage me. David Garrard's solid day didn't help either, but luckily a huge day from Greg Jennings and a good game from Earnest Graham helped me stay above water. As always, I'm hoping to do much better this week, so here you go with your "studs" and "duds" for week five:
