======================
Each week, I will provide a brief update on each team, including the latest injury concerns and performances from the past week. This will also include recommendations for potential waiver-wire pickups and suggested FAAB bids. FAAB bids and availability will be based on the FPPC $1000 bankroll. Week 16 is in the books. Let’s reason backward to look forward for all 32 teams. Players mentioned as possible waiver wire additions are available in at least 6% of FPPC leagues at this time.
Arizona Cardinals
Jacoby Brissett has finished in the Top 12 at QB in week 9 of 10 starts this year, but the Cardinals have only won once in those 10 starts, showing the disconnect between real NFL value and Fantasy Football value.
Possible Waiver Wire Adds: Jacoby Brissett is worth a $100 bid and is available in 56% of 1QB FPPC leagues. RB Michael Carter is the last man standing in the RB room, worth a $150 bid, and is available in 65% of leagues.
Atlanta Falcons
Drake London only got a lot of great cardio work last week, but he should be better this week.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Baltimore Ravens
Hard to believe the AFC Playoffs without Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Patrick Mahomes, but this is our reality this season.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Buffalo Bills
If Josh Allen’s ankle is hurt worse than he says, the Bills are doomed in the playoffs.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Carolina Panthers
First place in the division should earn their coach some votes for Coach of the Year with this roster.
Possible Waiver Wire Add: WR Jalen Coker is becoming one of the top targets for an improving QB. He is worth a $100 bid on FPPC and is available in 26% of FPPC leagues.
Chicago Bears
Just imagine how great this team will be next season
No Waiver Targets This Week
Cincinnati Bengals
The team is only 3-2 with Joe Burrow at QB this season.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Cleveland Browns
Shadeur Sanders is the most polarizing player at QB since Tim Tebow.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Dallas Cowboys
Until Jimmie gives up control of roster decisions, this team will continue to flounder.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Denver Broncos
If they clinch home-field advantage, that could be a big deal for the playoffs.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Detroit Lions
The Conference Championship hangover gets another year of confirmation
No Waiver Targets This Week
Green Bay Packers
I still haven’t figured out how they lost that game to the Bears last week, but I think the ghosts of Dave Duerson and Walter Payton were actively involved.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Houston Texans
They still haven’t clinched a playoff spot, but they have the best defense right now and should be the team others don’t want to play.
Possible Waiver Wire Add: Woody Marks will probably be ready this week, but the only RB left on the bench behind him is Jawhar Jordan, and he looked perfect again last week. He is worth a $150 bid and is available in 89% of FPPC leagues.
Indianapolis Colts
The fact that a 44-year-old QB who has been away from the game for 5 seasons is doing better than many young QBs is an indictment of the QB play in the league right now.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence has posted some impressive Fantasy Football numbers and has also led his team to some significant victories in real football.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Kansas City Chiefs
No truth to the rumor that the Chiefs asked Hall of Fame Joe Montana to come out of retirement for what could be Travis Kelce’s last home game.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Las Vegas Raiders
Could you imagine the temper tantrum Al Davis would have after this season? He would fire everyone, down to the ball boys and people selling popcorn.
Bowers to IR, so get a replacement. Tongas Barner Helm etc
Los Angeles Chargers
Next season, when this team has a healthy offensive line, watch out, they will be hard to beat.t
No Waiver Targets This Week
Los Angeles Rams
The NFC West Division is indeed the Wild West this season, and the Rams might be the most complete team of the bunch.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Miami Dolphins
They didn’t think Ewers gave them the best chance to win; they just wanted to move up in the draft.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Minnesota Vikings
How has this team won 7 games this year?
No Waiver Targets This Week
New England Patriots
Drake Maye has made a case for being in the “Best QB in the AFC” argument with his play this season, and it’s only his second season.n
No Waiver Targets This Week
New Orleans Saints
Might be the most impressive 5-win team in NFL history
Possible Waiver Wire Add: QB Tyler Shough has not been great, but he won’t hurt you if you need an emergency replacement at QB. He is worth a $50 bid and is available in 26% of FPPC leagues.
New York Giants
One look at this roster, when healthy, and they are the number one open coaching vacancy in the NFL right now.
No Waiver Targets This Week
New York Jets
Garrett Wilson has only played six games yet leads the Jets in receiving yards this season.
Possible Waiver Wire Add: WR Adonai Mitchell has two strong games in the last three starts. Anyone on this Jets offense is a risky play, but if you are desperate, he is worth a $100 bid and is available in 30% of FPPC Leagues.
Philadelphia Eagles
Has there ever been a defending Super Bowl Champ with so many issues?
No Waiver Targets This Week

Just a few weeks ago, the home fans were rooting for Tomlin to be fired, and now he is on the verge of making the playoffs again.

Sam Darnold has played well enough to get paid.
Possible Waiver Wire Add: TE AJ Barner is a solid low-end starter at TE; he is worth a $100 bid and is available in 52% of FPPC leagues.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Three straight bad losses have them on the verge of missing the playoffs
No Waiver Targets This Week
Tennessee Titans
Imagine Cam Ward behind a better offensive line?
Possible Waiver Wire Add: TE Gunnar Helm is developing into a solid player toward the end of his rookie season and is worth a $75 bid.

Rebuilding this roster in the offseason might be difficult
