data-mm-id=”_cpnp7xc75″>If anything, the last few weeks in the NFL have reminded fantasy football players of the importance of the waiver wire. And that's coming from me, the guy who writes about the waiver wire every week. We all need contingency plans this season, and Week 6 will be no different. Here are the best fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 6. (Note: With Titans-Bills playing on Tuesday night, waiver claims will not go through until overnight Wednesday in ESPN leagues this week. All stats via ESPN PPR leagues.) Chase Claypool / Justin K.

Claypool was a fantasy superstar this week in the process of scoring four touchdowns, three through the air and one on th…

data-mm-id=”_38rg86brr”>Marcus Mariota could be in a different uniform come September. The Las Vegas Raiders backup quarterback has received a lot of interest from other teams interested in acquiring his services, as reported by Ian Rapoport earlier this week. From NFL Now: The #Raiders could trade a QB… but maybe not the one who has been in the headlines. pic.twitter.com/EEcXd2WtLt— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 10, 2021Mariota is still only 27-years-old but hasn't held a starting job since his final season in Tennessee in 2019, when he was benched for Ryan Tannehill and the team subsequently went on a run to the AFC Championship Game. Mariota's relative youth and dual-threat ability will appeal to teams looking to strike gold in a reclamation project similar to how …

data-mm-id=”_bhkiblka4″>Odell Beckham Jr. worked out on an empty field in Arizona last night. Nearly half the teams in the NFL had a representative in attendance as everyone tries to gauge how much OBJ will be worth when free agency kicks off next week. For a guy we haven't seen on any field since Super Bowl LVI, he looked pretty good. And he made a one-handed catch so he's clearly fine. Had to show love to my guy @obj at his private workout! pic.twitter.com/Nu4OJm1lOL— Prince Amukamara (@PrinceAmukamara) March 11, 2023Beckham Jr. looks as good as one could hope after tearing his ACL 13 months ago. Game speed and empty field speed are still two entirely different things. There will be plenty of interest in the wideout anyway because he was pretty good the last time we saw h…

data-mm-id=”_5dpjva6jv”>Ron DeSantis has been having a rough week. Polls show him trailing Donald Trump significantly in the chase for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, and several viral moments have popped up recently that haven't shown him in the most favorable light. Another happened on Friday. During a campaign stop in Iowa, DeSantis laid out all the things he had done while governor of Florida and punctuated it with, "And our state has never been better as a result of our decision to keep Florida free." It was an exclamation point line meant to garner uproarious applause. But it was delivered in the now-patented robotic DeSantis tone. As a result, he didn't quite get the reaction he was expecting. Here's video:please clap pic.twitter.com/M6sYiC8xsS— …

data-mm-id=”_sc2evsswv”>Andrew Marchand's latest investigative report dives into the blocking and tackling behind those infamous Aaron Rodgers appearances on the Pat McAfee Show. Avert your eyes if you can't handle the hard truth of sausage-making but it appears the controversial quarterback has not been swinging by most Tuesdays out of the goodness of his heart and interest in conversing with the boys in increasingly impressive studios. “Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays” and “Nick Saban Thursdays” have become staples of the program and the sports media world. But there is a special sauce that makes it all go. McAfee spends millions to procure these interviews, The Post has learned. Rodgers is receiving more than seven figures per year to come on the show each week, according …

data-mm-id=”_cqdr3rloq”>It wasn't so long ago that the Philadelphia Eagles were cruising to the NFC East crown and looked very much like a team capable of returning to the Super Bowl and perhaps winning it this time. Then the wheels feel off. Nick Sirianni's team has lost four of five. They need the Dallas Cowboys to fumble the bag to avoid taking on a path that might require they win three road games before booking any flight to Las Vegas. This, combined with an unquenchable thirst for content, has birthed an idea that Sirianni could be in some sort of danger should the Eagles go out sad. On its face, this seems absurd. Sirianni has won immediately and often. There are some real problems to solve in order to get where this team wants to go but, man, it's the NFL and 11-…

data-mm-id=”_ljc0vuu4w”>The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets met on Tuesday to kick off NBA Rivalry Week. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle each scored 30 as the Knicks won, 108-103. The game was broadcast on TNT so Candace Parker, Shaquille O'Neal and Jamal Crawford were in studio with Adam Lefkoe to discuss the action.

data-mm-id=”_84lvpl8na”>The Baltimore Ravens lost more than just their season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.
