Sneaky Wavier Wire Moves For Week 11

Alot has happened in Week 10 of Fantasy Football. Players went down, Players stepped up, and now your screwed on who to pick up and who to start for Week 11.
In the QB category not much has happened unless Jay Cutler or Jake Locker is your quarterback. Both of these players were increasing their points in fantasy value before their injuries brought them down. Have no fear though because I have a few good ideas that I believe can help you this week. If your in need of a solid quarterback begin to look at Nick Foles if he is not already picked up and also Case Keenum has been doing very well for the Texans.
In the RB category their are a few moves that can be made. For one Brown is back for the Giants and he does not appear to be going anywhere. Rashard Jennings is also another good guy to be looking at. Another solid move would be picking up Brian Leonard. Leonard is not the greatest rusher but he has pass option that he can and will excel in.
For wide recievers I also have a few good moves that can be played. For one, as long as Nick Foles is the quarterback for the Eagles then picking up and starting Riley Cooper is a must! He has been one of the best wide recievers in league right now because of all the looks he is recieving from Nick Foles. Jeffery of the bears is also a solid starter now. And finally Kenny Stills of the Saints has been proving himself to be a contender for a starting spot on a fantasy team.
I hope all of this helps you in your fantasy football moves and have a great weekend!

Saint Nick Foles Start or Sit him

Nick Foles of the Philadelphia Eagles has the been hottest quarterback out of everyone for the past two weeks. Within in those past two weeks Foles has been able to throw for 10 touchdowns with zero interceptions. He has put up a total of 65 points in the past two weeks in fantasy. I believe when somethings hot you ride it until it gets cold. Since Foles has been riding along very well as the starting quarterback for the Eagles I believe that anyone who has him should start him this week against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins defense has not been the greatest this year which gives Foles more time to put up more points in fantasy. He is a must start.

A list of the top 5 sleepers this week that woke up.

In this season of fantasy football there have been many sleeper players. Sleeper players are starting players who have not done well so far this year but are bound to do well. Here is a list of the top five sleepers who finally woke up.

     Arian Foster. (Before his big game yesterday Foster has been a dismal player to have in fantasy football. Foster rushed for 102 yards and also had 69 receiving yards and a touchdown.)
2.       Le’Veon Bell. (This was Bell’s first regular season start and it was a big one! Bell rushed for 57 yards carrying two in for touchdowns. Bell also had four receptions for 27 yards.)
3.       Tony Gonzalez. (Gonzalez has not been really productive this season. However last night he had a game he will never forget. Gonzalez had 12 receptions for 149 yards including two touchdown receptions.)
4.       Reggie Wayne. (For the past two weeks Wayne has been very disappointing for fantasy owners. This week he was back to his normal self catching 5 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown.)
5.       Torrey Smith. (Torrey has been very consistent putting up okay numbers for a wide receiver flex player. However he was expected to be a starting wide receiver this year since he is the first string receiver for the Baltimore Ravens. This week he took his role as the starting wide receiver. Smith had a big day with 5 receptions for 166 yards and had one receiving touchdown.)

The basics of Fantasy Football

I know in the beginning Fantasy Football seems confusing to those who do not play. However it is a very easy game to pick up that everyone can enjoy. Today I am going to discuss the basics of how to play fantasy football. The first thing you do after you create your own team is enter the league draft. Their are usually 10 to 12 teams that enter your leagues draft. The draft concist of 16 rounds were each round you pick the best suited player for your team. After you completed your draft you have 16 players that you can work with. You have nine starting players and seven bench players. You have seven bench players just incase any of your nine starters get hurt you will be able to replace them. Your nine starting players will consist of a quarterback, two running backs, two wide recievers, a tightend, a flex player which can either be another running back or wide reciever, a defense, and a kicker. Each week your players will be stacked up against another member's starting team. During that week both your team and your opponents team players will play on their actual NFL teams game. They are given fantasy points when each individual player does something well. For example a quarterback throws for a touchdown or one of your running backs runs for a towchdown. Your players are rewarded points after they do something well during their NFL game. After all of your players and your opponents players have played the scores are totaled and who ever has the most points in the end wins that week in fantasy football. And this continues through out the season. The goal of fantasy football is to be able to pick the best individual players that will help you win each week.
