The Tomlinson injury’s not going away, and neither are rising stars like Aaron Rodgers. This week, The Drill examines the assumptions that have changed and offers advice on getting ahead of the waiver wire curve.

Thanks to the immediacy of the internet, fantasy football is all about now-now-now. Information that’s even a few days old will be overrun by all the news, blogs, and analyst sites keeping current with every practice and media session. Maybe that’s why channels like ESPN have thus far eschewed a dedicated television offering to the 30+ million fantasy football addicts who play every year.
There’s a crack in the door, though: keeping up with all the news and text-based information out there can be overwhelming. For fans who are serious about the game but have a life outside it, a single 5 minute fantasy football show that contained everything from waivers to injury updates to predictions for the upcoming games would given them an edge and save them hours per week.
Of course, that show would have to be timely. And it would have to avoid repeating what else is out there. So how does one make a fantasy football show that meets the demands for timeliness from its audience while delivering accurate insights other analysts are missing?
We’ll tell you how we did it for ON Networks over two great seasons.
Can Matt Ryan really help you win your league? Can any Carolina RB do the same? This week, The Drill uses its final episode to help you make final trade plans and key waiver picks for the final leg of the season.
LaDainian Tomlinson is a bargain, and so is Eli Manning. Ditto the Dolphins and Pats. Why? It’s all about the schedule, baby. This week, the Drill unearths players who are undervalued due to their creampuff schedules.
Kyle Orton and Matt Ryan have been pretty good. Darren McFadden? Not so much. There have been plenty of unexpected developments in fantasy football, and this week, The Drill looks at what those surprises mean for the big picture.
Just because most other owners start to slow down their activity around this time doesn’t mean you need to follow suit. The Drill looks at several enticing trade targets and waiver pick-ups heading into week 6.
Marion Barber, Michael Turner, and MJD got shut down, but Earnest Graham sure didn’t. And was that Deuce McAllister out there? This week, The Drill focuses on the right moves to make at running back (and a few other places).
The 0-3 teams in your league are probably desperate. Ditto for the owners of guys like Jake Delhomme and Santonio Holmes. This week, The Drill helps fantasy players find their ideal trade targets and waiver wire sleepers.
Tom Brady’s down, but is the New England offense out? Who should you own if Marion Barber is injured? Aren’t Steven Jackson and Ronnie Brown supposed to be good? All of these questions and more will be answered on The Drill!
It’s kickoff week, and Ryan Grant, Laurence Maroney, and Willis McGahee are just a few of the players who have questions to answer heading into their opening game. The Drill helps you make the tough decisions so you can nab that first win.
