Rookie receivers traditionally have one of the toughest transitions to life in the NFL, topped only it seems by quarterbacks. With that in mind, it seems pretty clear that Kenny Britt, the Titans' first round pick, will not start the season as a key part of the team's offense.
The Tennessee Titans finally broke down and drafted wide receiver in the first round, and he's a dynamic talent. Kenny Britt, a Rutgers product, has the physical tools to be a star receiver in the NFL. There are some questions about his attitude, but it's hard to imagine the Titans not doing their due diligence on a kid after the fiasco they just went through with PacMan Jones (to be fair, it's apples vs. oranges: Britt doesn't have any legal issues, just is seen as arrogant by some). I have faith in Jeff Fisher and Kerry Collins to bring this kid along properly. 
Like we always do 'bout this time. It's Monday night and while that still means there's action left on the table, it's also time to break down the weekend that was. For most it's either depression, anger, joy, misery or anxiety for MNF. Well, I'm not sure what emotions you run through as it relates to fantasy football. Either way, we're here as always to give the weekly recap. 
Entering the season, it likely wouldn't have shocked people if you told them the Patriots quarterback would throw for 400 yards and three touchdowns against the Jets in Week 11. Of course, that was when golden boy Tom Brady was at the helm. 
Each week in the NFL, there are players that impress and players that distress. One week a certain quarterback might toss four touchdowns and run around with his finger in the air while the next he's laying on his back, holding his facemask as the other team returns one of his three interceptions for the game-winning score. With that in mind, here's Studs and Duds.
Weeding through those unwieldy waiver wires requires a keen eye and a quick trigger. Thus, Waiver Wire Wonders provides a weekly snapshot of players worthy of consideration who should be available on a good portion of league waiver wires. Enjoy those pickups...
It's almost time for the holidays folks, and you know what that means -- families spending quality time together, snowy winter wonderlands, chestnuts roasting, heavy drinking, and of course the fantasy playoffs. Well, think of the Week 11 waiver wire like those evasive toys that the whippersnappers just can't live without, causing parents to move fast and chase their tails around town in order to get their hands on one. In other words, don't wait long, because the goods on the wires this week will be gone soon, if they aren't already. Hurry up or you'll miss out.
Peyton Hillis (RB, Broncos) - Also known as Elmo. While everybody knew Hillis would likely get the start in Denver this week, the addition of Tatum Bell to the roster last week must have scared the majority of fantasy owners away, because at the time of this writing, Hillis was still available in about 85 percent of leagues. You better move quickly though, because he is one of the few clear pickups this week. Hillis rushed for 44 yards and two touchdowns as well as catching three passes for 26 yards. Who knows what will transpire in the elusive Denver backfield the rest of the season, because the carries today were split three ways, but Hillls looks like a great add.
Ted Ginn, Jr. (WR, Dolphins) - Ted Ginn, Jr. continues to hang around the periphery of worthy No. 2 or No. 3 wide receivers, but he looks to be officially the go-to playmaker at this point in the season. Ginn Jr. caught four passes for 51 yards and ran the ball twice for 42 yards with a big-40 yard touchdown run. It's still a tough call to rationalize starting Ginn on a weekly basis, but he is definitely a good reserve for your roster. Keep in mind the Dolphins are, believe it or not, 6-4, so they are in the throes of a playoff run. Thus, expect them to keep going to Ginn as he is a huge part of their ascent to 2nd place in the AFC East.

The Arizona Cardinals
Anquan Boldin - After a well-timed bye week affording Boldin an extra week to rest his dome, he is expected to play on Sunday. Boldin allegedly lost about ten pounds though after having his jaw wired shut and slurping his food for two weeks. I'm in this predicament myself and plan to start him, but it's not an easy decision. If you have other quality options, it is probably worth waiting to see what he does this weekend.
The Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Mason - Unfortunately for Mason owners, who saw his value tick up after his six catch, 86 yard, one touchdown game last week, he was unable to practice this week with an undisclosed illness. Mason is not reliable enough to risk starting unless the illness dissipates completely.
The Carolina Panthers
D.J. Hackett - While I doubt too many people are reeling over Hackett's day-to-day status, he looks to be practicing lightly and should be available to play.
The Chicago Bears
Brandon Lloyd - Brandon Lloyd continues to nurse a sprained knee, so hopefully this week's bye should be the final stage in the waiting game. After a hot start to the season, owners are eagerly anticipating his return, but who knows what kind of shape he will be in upon returning.
