Waiver Wire Wednesday

12.3.2008Comment

For most of the fantasy football world, playoffs start tomorrow night. I’ve made it in one of three leagues I played in. Fortunately, it’s the elevation league, the one with the most pride and ego on the line. I’m trying to go for a three-peat championship! Unfortunately, much of my success has come from the legs of Clinton Portis & Marion Barber. However, both sustained some injuries which I saw play out last weekend. This forces me to use my wire pick-up of a few weeks ago Peyton Hillis to pair up with Brandon Jacobs. I’m a bit nervous, but Peyton has scored at least 15pts a game since taking on the starting role 3 weeks ago. He’s also facing the worst defense in the league, Kansas City. So this should be a good matchup. He’s still a rookie and I have my concerns, especially after seeing what we thought was a beat-up Brian Westbrook score 4 TDs last week.

As far as this weeks wire move, I haven’t been happy with my TE’s. Greg Olson hasn’t been doing much, and Kellen Winslow is out so I dropped him in favor of Denver TE Daniel Graham. I know he’s sharing the field with the other well known TE, but Graham has more TDs and has gotten some good points lately.

This week I face the Fighting Weavils (Devin Liden). I barely beat him by 2pts during the regular season match up. I’m sure he wants revenge. Anyone else looking for revenge in the playoffs?
