LOS WAIVERS, WEEK 13: THE AFTERMATH
Saturdays are supposed to be almost as sedentary as Tuesdays are during the NFL season. All the practices are completed the day before, except for the teams playing on Monday Night Football.

ADENTRO Y AFUERA WEEK 12: ALWAYS DOUBLE DOWN ON 11
Don’t you hate it when you do the right thing in setting a lineup and it doesn’t work out? You do the research on your players’ opposing defenses. You look at opportunity trends for your player. You even look at the weather in every city with an outdoor stadium.

LOS WAIVERS, WEEK 12: THANKFUL FOR AN OBSESSION
Back in 1990, a good friend named Chris Parker got me into fantasy baseball first, then football. He beat me in our very first game playing against each other. I remember he reached for Andre Rison in the second round, and my first-rounder was Christian Okoye. The Nigerian Nightmare.

ADENTRO Y AFUERA WEEK 11: APPRECIATING TE GREATNESS
This is an appreciation for Travis Kelce, and not just because he was on a bye last week with the Chiefs. I also have to make an important admission on my part. For the better part of my decades of playing fantasy football I did not appropriately value the position. Even though I grew up liking players like Dave Casper, Kellen Winslow and Tony Gonzalez, when it came to fantasy football, I was always quick to let others spend up their early picks while I hammered RBs and WRs.

LOS WAIVERS, WEEK 11: FELIZ CUMPLEANOS
I love my birthday. Since I was a teenager, I never wanted to work on my birthday. I did on my 20th birthday, and it almost made me late to see U2 on the original Joshua Tree Tour. Said I’d never do that again.

TIGHT END RANKINGS, WEEK 10
If you have Travis Kelce on your team, this is the week that has been keeping you up at night. Trolling the waiver wire to get a one-week stopgap player. It ain’t pretty for those fantasy managers who haven’t had Kelce to just set it and forget it. Here are the Week 10 rankings:

RUNNING BACK RANKINGS, WEEK 10
Mamas, don’t let your children grow up to be Running Backs. The RB position has been a battle of attrition, and there will be plenty of fantasy managers who will be scooping up the bottom of the waiver wire just to field full lineups. Here are some of the names that are out this week (not counting players on bye): CMC, Chris Carson, David Johnson, Justin Jackson, Joe Mixon and David Montgomery. Though welcome back Miles Sanders and Nick Chubb. Not a lot of fun making the rankings past the Top 10.

WIDE RECEIVER RANKINGS, WEEK 10
Not much argument at the top, even with Tyreek Hill and Julio Jones on a bye. The only thing that could slow down Davante Adams against the Jaguars is if Mother Nature blew 50-MPH winds through Lambeau Field. And even then Adams would get 100 yards and a TD. Here are the rankings for Week 10:

ADENTRO Y AFUERA WEEK 10: BEST 0-5 TEAM EVER
Going behind the curtain of my personal fantasy football world for a few minutes. I’ve mentioned how one of the leagues I play in is made up of both current and former Dodger employees. This actually used to be a league that included Dodger players, but eventually evolved into a league for the front office.

QUARTERBACK RANKINGS, WEEK 10
It’s staying hot in AZ as Kyler Murray’s potentially historic season continues with his battle with Josh Allen. Tua vs. Herbert down in Miami will be a fun battle of the top 2020 picks. And will Jared Goff keep up with Russell Wilson? Here are the Week 10 rankings:
