I went to check my league's waiver wire today to see if my opponent in the championship game made any moves.
What did I see?
Five transactions. None made by my opponent or the two who lost in the semifinals.
Three owners who lost in the quarterfinals made transactions totaling those five moves.
The top four places cash out, so I'm wondering why they made moves.
Do you find this fair? It's not a keeper league either.

Who won AND who lost with Jamaal Charles?
OK. Start it up.
Who lost to Jamaal Charles this week?
Post 'em here.
The tougher question: Who had Charles and his five TDs -- and lost?
For the record: I missed going against Charles in three matchups.

Broncos burn fantasy football players in the playoffs
If you own any of the marquee Denver Broncos players, I'm sure you were looking forward to Thursday's game in what is the fantasy football semifinals in most cases.
Boy, did those owners get burned.
Peyton Manning: 289 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT.
Knowshon Moreno: 8 carries, 19 yards.
Montee Ball: 3 carries for minus-1 yards. Yeah, I had a better day that Ball.
Julius Thomas: 49 yards receiving.
Demaryius Thomas: 45 yards receiving.
Eric Decker: 42 yards receiving.
You were probably happy if you started Andre Caldwell (59 yards, 2 TDs).
But then again, who started him?
What you need to do now, if you had one or more of these Broncos, is play the high-upside guy.
Good luck.

I'm done with these fantasy football players this season
Here's who I'm done with in fantasy football:
Lamar Miller.
Ray Rice.
Jay Cutler.
Kendall Wright.
TY Hilton.
Mike Wallace.
Colin Kaepernick.
Carson Palmer.
Frank Gore.
Darren Sproles.
Ryan Mathews.
This certainly isn't a complete list, just players that have burned me one too many times in league.
Who would you add?
Lamar Miller.
Ray Rice.
Jay Cutler.
Kendall Wright.
TY Hilton.
Mike Wallace.
Colin Kaepernick.
Carson Palmer.
Frank Gore.
Darren Sproles.
Ryan Mathews.

Bears to bench McCown for Cutler
Adjust your rosters: Jay Cutler will start over Josh McCown this Sunday.
The Bears will sit McCown, who's torn things up the past three weeks, averaging over 300 yards passing each game.
I would find it hard to trust Cutler as a starter Sunday. He easily could get injured and miss the rest of the season.
If you have room on your playoff roster, I'd hold on to McCown.

Was Richardson the problem in Cleveland?
Now that the Cleveland Browns have two wins under their belt, people are changing their tune about the blockbuster deal that sent Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts for a No. 1 pick.
People panned the move from the Browns' side, saying giving up a franchise back this early in his career wasn't a good move.
Today, the Browns are the toast of the AFC North.
Maybe getting rid of Richardson wasn't what propelled the modest two-game winning streak.
Maybe getting a Brian Hoyer at quarterback instead of Brandon Weeden helped.
Maybe getting their No. 1 receiver, Josh Gordon, back helped.
Maybe it's just two wins and the bottom will fall out.
I don't think Richardson is or was the problem. A lot of other factors played into the mini-run by the Browns.
It wasn't all Richardson's fault. I'm not ready to bury him as an elite running back, either.

Don't make same mistake as Lions with Stafford
Don't go all in on Matt Stafford this season like the Detroit Lions did.
Stafford is a solid fantasy QB, but the investment the Lions made ($41.5 million guarantee) is silly.
He's not one of the best QBs in real life. He's not one of the best in fantasy.
Here's my top 10 for 2013:

- Robert Griffin III

Lamar Miller remains RB I want to see
It won't be long until training camps start, but that doesn't mean I'm not morphing into fantasy football mode.
Here are a couple players I'm interested in seeing this summer before draft day:
Lamar Miller: I've been high on this guy since last year. He appears ready to claim the starting role for the Dolphins. He could finish as a top 20 RB. He's got some upside.
Giovani Benard: The hype for the rookie RB already has started. The Bengals are gushing over this guy. I'm guessing you'll need to draft him early to get him.
Tavon Austin: The rookie WR could be the main cog for the Rams. I don't like drafting rookie WRs until late, so I might not get him in any drafts.
Vincent Brown: The Chargers WR was injured last year, so he could be a steal late in drafts. We'll have to see how the coaching staff plans to use him.
Who else is on your radar?

Get Lamar Miller on your radar
It's never too early to plan for next year in fantasy football.
Yesterday was a prime example of that when news hit that Reggie Bush's time in Miami could be over.
If that's the case, Lamar Miller could be a big-time beneficiary of that move.
Miller owners, and future owners, need to get through free agency and the draft, but as things stand now, Miller looks like the next back in Miami.
I know Daniel Thomas is still there, but I'm not enamored by him and it appears the Dolphins are not either.
If you can get Miller on the cheap, now's the time to do it.
