NFL Week 6 Fantasy Waiver Wire Pickups

Chicago sports fans down in the dumps after your TWO baseball teams went 1-6 in the post season? Well, your Chicago Bears Kyle Orton has a better win percentage than the New York Jets Brett Favre. Favre has a career record of 163-97, winning 62% of his games. Orton has a career record of 15-8, winning 65% of his games.

Tonight, the Rays continued Chicago's October Of Misery (well, at least Baseball Misery -- the football team is surprisingly feisty with Kyle Orton) by dispatching the White Sox in 4. The win ensured my first round lead in the Playoff Party bet with the Truth, and inspired the list that goes to 11.

Well, the Eagles might...

First, this is so late it is nearly irrelevant. HA! I said nearlya?? Who knew the Bears had much of a passing game? Alright. So the question may be better phrased, "Who knew the Lions secondary was that mediocre?" Kyle Orton looked like the beardedA hero we always hoped he could become. He passed for 334 yards and [...]

Once again, the Lions got crushed to fall to 0-4 on the season.? This time the pummeling was at the hands of the Chicago Bears.?

While the defense managed to stop the Bears running attack, QB Kyle Orton, yes Kyle Orton, had a career day picking apart...

It was as if the ghost of Matt Millen was lurking around Ford Field Sunday. That's at least how the Lions played. Like has been the case all season, the Lions dug a hole for themselves, and this time were not even able to make it a game, falling 34-7 to the Chicago [...]

The Philadelphia Eagles fell to 2-3 and last place in the NFC East after losing to the Washington Redskins this past Sunday. To make matters worse, their biggest weapon, Brian Westbrook, sustained fractured ribs in the losing effort. So what happens if Westbrook can't go for a couple of weeks? Correll Buckhalter and Lorenzo Booker won't match the output of a healthy Brian...

One of the better matchups in week six will take place in Atlanta, where two teams that were not expected to contend in 2008 have surprising above .500 records in the 3-2 Bears and the 3-2 Falcons. The Falcons are coming off a surprising win in Green Bay last Sunday, while the Bears dominated [...]

The New England Patriots for the first time in franchise history defeated the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at Candlestick Park 30-21. The victory now puts the Patriots at 3-1 at the quarter mark of the NFL season, and gets them back in the winning column after losing to the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago at home. New England quarterback Matt Cassel still showed inconsistencies, as...

Star Eagles running back Brian Westbrook played most of Sunday's loss against the Washington Redskins with two fractured ribs. The news was revealed during coach Andy Reid's Monday press conference. When asked whether Westbrook would be able to play next Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Reid was vague and noncommittal. You're shocked, I can tell. "...

The fantasy football season claims yet another victim. Blaine, one of my trust sidekicks here at The Hazean, took the day off Monday to nurse an injury of his own. Back in the summer (gosh, I hate saying that a?? come back summer!), Blaine pulled up lame during an ultimate frisbee tournament. His calf blew up [...]
