The latest injury reports on Kevin Garnett, Brandon Roy and others could create some excellent opportunities for fantasy owners.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year in the Premier League

Remember in school, the token assignment on the first day back from Christmas vacation was the "what I did on my Christmas break." As much as the assignment stunk, it was a chance to reflect on the crazy going-ons that the holidays can be.

Some Projections Notes

I jotted a few notes here-and-there in the process of doing our projections for the MLB mag and the site. Here's a few observations:

WCOFF Final

Neither RotoWire team made it to the finals, but the $250,000 prize comes down to Tuesday's PHI-MIN matchup:

  • While many think the Lord is on Tim Tebow's side, the truth is He's against the Texans.

    My take on Week 16.

    NFL Week 16 Live Blog

    I have to say, Bob Barker isn't looking too good in those State Farm commercials.

    Another tough week to handicap - especially with Adrian Peterson and Andre Johnson. I'm advising the risk-averse approach with both of them.

    Week 15 Observations

    Competent quarterback play isn't that hard to find. Rex Grossman, Matt Flynn, Drew Stanton, Kerry Collins and Tim Tebow all played well on Sunday. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jason Campbell, David Garrard and Jon Kitna have been good for weeks now. Arguably the league's best player, Michael Vick was an afterthought heading into the year and could have been had for almost nothing before 2009.

    Zack Grienke To The Brewers

    I must admit, I didn't see this coming. Zack Greinke is going to the Brewers.

    NFL Week 15 Live Blog

    I haven't seen a non-Week 17 week with so much chaos at QB this week. What a mess. I'm staying away from Dwayne Bowe and Matt Cassel in addition to all the teams changing QBs this week.

    I'm not as up on NBA as I used to be, but here are my quick first impressions of the trade:

    Weekend Wire: Injury Creates Opportunity

    A couple of readers noted that my Working the Wire column – published Tuesday afternoons – arrives too late (or too early) for leagues with weekend waiver claim deadlines. So I’ll be publishing a set of additional suggestions in this space every Friday.

    Joe Webb - The Must Add WR?

    With Tarvaris Jackson on IR with turf toe and Brett Favre looking unlikely to return this week from a shoulder injury, it looks like Joe Webb will start at QB this week against Chicago.

    Webb is a raw quarterback and so far his numbers are not exciting (1.6 YPA). He's very fast. "Whoa, who is that?" kind of fast when he takes off at QB. So he may get some rushing yards even if he struggles in the passing game.

    But if you are playing in any Yahoo! Sports fantasy football, he may be a must start this week.

    Terrence Williams to be Traded?

    The Nets will trade promising swingman Terrence Williams to the Houston Rockets as part of a three-way deal that also sends Joe Smith to the Lakers.

    Week 14 Observations

  • After taking some bad beats against the spread for much of the year, I got some payback this week, and it was a beautiful thing - the Titans final drive that used the entire clock and destroyed any chance they had of winning, the two-point underdog Redskins missing the game-tying extra point to prevent overtime and Maurice Jones-Drew breaking away for a TD, when he should have knelt at the one a la Brian Westbrook and let the Jags seal the game with a FG, to name a few. Any one of those events can brighten your day, but taken in combination, they can change your outlook on life.

    Interesting Spring Performances, Part One: The NL
    As spring training ambles nonchalantly towards the finish line, it's always fun to take a look at spring stats to see who really jumps off the page and might be making some kind of statement or other...
    My AL Tout Wars team
    We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:

    My "Beat Peter Schoenke" Draft Results.

    My entry in the RotoWire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship was Monday night. Here's my quick take on the draft - this is a 12-team mixed league, 5x5 categories, 30 rosters spots (23 active), with no trades in the league. It has a top prize of $50,000 and a league prize of $1,400.
