Hello and welcome to The IDP Guru’s “Waiver Wire Pickups” for Week 2 of the 2010 NFL season. I must admit I’m feeling pretty damn good about my Derrick Johnson and Patrick Chung recommendations last week. It always feels good to hit the nail on the head early in the season and get yourself a…
Hello and welcome back to The IDP Guru’s “Weekly Waiver Wire Pickups.” I’ve been working hard all off-season studying game film, looking at in-depth defensive statistics and ratios, and compiling various resources to make my prognostication skills even better this season.
