Denver Broncos (7-3) vs Miami Dolphins (6-4) Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Notable: Peyton Manning- #4 Ranked QB and Demaryius Thomas- #2 Ranked WR C.J. Anderson– #12 Ranked RB So there was definitely concern that Montee Ball was going to come back and snatch up a bunch of touches. Well Ball is out with a groin injury, Hillman is still out as well which makes C.J. Anderson the man in town. He will get the rock and he will get the rock a lot. He is used a lot in the air as well so this hybrid player should do you well this week. Emmanuel Sanders– #20 Ranked WR Sanders did not practice on Wednesday as he still has to go through the NFL’s concussion protocol to be cleared to play this week. If he does get cleared, than you are obviously starting him, if not Demaryius will benefit the most from his absence. Andre Caldwell will get to see some increased field time as well if Sanders sits out. (UPDATE: Sanders is probable and is a must start) Gut Calls Julius Thomas– #4 Ranked TE The Broncos sustained a lot of injuries last game and Julius Thomas was a big one of those. His ankle was held out of practice on Wednesday so make sure that you keep a very close eye on your actives and inactives lists on Sunday morning. If Thomas is out, Jacob Tamme will then become Peyton Mannings tight end target. There is a comfort level there so you can feel about about playing him if you really,...

Miami Dolphins (6-4) at Denver Broncos (7-3) Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Lamar Miller– #20 Ranked RB Last week was okay. Nothing special but not something to get all rage faced about either. He scored you 9 points and all of that was yardage which is encouraging in regard to his injury not bothering him. The Buffalo Defense is good and next up this week is the Denver Broncos defense who aren’t too shabby. With that said, he is still a play for this week. More than likely he will find the end zone this week which will get him and you back on track. Gut Calls Mike Wallace– #25 Ranked I can understand if you are a bit gun shy at the moment with Mike Wallace. His production has slowed down in the last 4 games. But keep in mind that last week, when he only scored you 3 points, he was paying a very, very, very tough Buffalo defense and the Dolphins were playing gingerly with that in mind. My bigger concern is that Wallace’s calf did not practice on Wednesday. Keep you eye on him with the injury report before you make any sort of decision. Bench Warmers Miami Dolphins Defense– #15 Ranked DEF Yes, the Broncos looked really, really bad last week but don’t think for one second that that didn’t piss Peyton Manning off to the point where he will be coming out this week guns a blazing. This game is also in Denver which won’t help the Dolphins out any with the rage and...

We partnered with RotoBaller to give you accurate and timely Week 12 waiver wire adds, wide receivers and more. In turn, they post our podcast to their site (which is centered around setting your weekly lineups). Enjoy! This article originally appeared on RotoBaller, our new partner. It’s about that time, eh chaps? Your trade deadline may or may not have come and gone, so you may be left with only the waiver wire to beef up your squad before the playoffs begin. Fortunately, there are a few legitimate wide receiver options out there if you need a spot starter or if you’re looking to build some depth for the home stretch. Below, I (Bill Dubiel) will examine some Week 12 wide receiver waiver wire pickups and sleepers, based on their current ownership numbers and fantasy outlooks. Each week of the fantasy football season, I’ll also give you a bonus player to avoid (usually someone who projects to be a popular pickup that I’m not so bullish on). Good luck hitting that waiver wire for Week 12 RotoBallers. Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) – Week 12 Jarvis Landry (MIA) – Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues I advised adding this possession receiver last week, and I’ll do it again for Week 12. Over the last three weeks, Landry has 17 catches for 145 yards and two scores, and he’s established himself as the number two wide receiver in Miami—sorry, Brian Hartline. The yardage totals aren’t ever going to be there, as Landry’s single-game high for the season is only 75, but he’s been particularly useful in PPR leagues, a trend that I expect will continue...

We partnered with RotoBaller to give you accurate and timely Week 11 waiver wire adds, wide receivers and more. In turn, they post our podcast to their site (which is centered around setting your weekly lineups). Enjoy! This article originally appeared on RotoBaller, our new partner. A wild and crazy Week 10 provided plenty of huge performances and quite a few clunkers. We’re approaching the home stretch of the fantasy football season, and whether you’re in the thick of the playoff hunt or have already locked up a spot, you can always use some quality wide receivers. Below I (Bill Dubiel) will take a look at some Week 11 wide receiver waiver wire pickups and sleepers, based on their current ownership numbers and fantasy outlooks. Each week of the fantasy football season, I’ll also give you a bonus player to avoid (usually someone who might be a popular pickup that I disagree with). Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) – Week 11 Jordan Matthews (PHI) – Owned in 35% of Fleaflicker leagues Jordan Matthews is the supremely talented rookie wide receiver who has risen to the number two option in the dynamic Philadelphia passing game. Matthews has shown flashes of brilliance all season, but hasn’t ever strung two great games together. With Mark Sanchez now under center for the Eagles, I imagine Matthews is going to continue seeing an uptick in usage, as he appeared to have excellent chemistry with the veteran backup in Weeks 9 and 10. Jeremy Maclin has proven that he warrants special attention, and I foresee Sanchez and Matthews capitalizing on that. Matthews is going to continue to produce in all formats, but he holds...
