It's a bit tough to recommend the likes of Ricky Stanzi, Curtis Brinkley and Braylon Edwards as meaningful fantasy options in the championship round, so one might think we're past the stage of sneaky pickups for this season. No, the Friday weekly blog entry lives on because who said anything about the pickups being only for 2012? For those of you in keeper leagues, whether your team is playing for the championship this week or potentially next, the waiver wire is always your friend. I'm in a keeper league in which we protect six players, and I just finished combing the waiver wire -- fantasy leagues first, work second but just this time! -- to see what was available.
To see all of Eric's sneaky pickups for this week, you must be an ESPN Insider.
