Ah, Week 1 is in the books. You know what I took away from Week 1? I'm firing on all cylinders this year. Last season I was kind of dealing with health issues in the summer and it was screwing with my fantasy radar but not this year. I'm really on top of my game in 2013. I started out blasting in all of my leagues, which was a pleasant turnaround from last year when I went 0-5 in the first week. So I'm feeling pretty good. We'll see how long that lasts. Usually when I'm in a good mood bad things tend to happen and it doesn't last very long. Oh well, if you're getting your car serviced or have 20 minutes of your life you don't want back, I have some fantasy advice for you. Now on with The Fire Sale... Going Up Joique Bell , Lions -- Bell is a player I snatched up in my leagues last year and he's someone who keeps getting better every time I see him. I had Reggie Bush rated very high in PPR formats and you saw why in Week 1. Bush will be an absolute machine in the Lions' offense if he stays healthy. However, if something happens to Bush (he's already dealing with a couple of injuries), they have another fantasy stud waiting in the wings with Bell. This kid can really play. The best part about Bell is he has fantasy value even if Bush is healthy. Bell scored two short touchdowns on Sunday and caught five passes for 67 yards. Heck, that's a much better fantasy day than most of the running backs we drafted in the first three rounds. I have to hand it to ASL's The Machine software system I'm trying out this year. They've had Bell highly rated all summer long and had him as the top free agent in my leagues where he wasn't drafted. I liked Bell last year and as a handcuff to Bush this season but was afraid his overall fantasy value would be limited in 2013. I was wrong. Bell should be one of your top waiver wire priorities this week. He has fantasy value regardless of Bush's status in PPR formats. Then if Bush is ever sidelined for an extended period of time, owners will have a potential PPR machine on their hands with Bell. Think about it, this guy caught 52 balls last year while splitting time. Imagine what Bell can do if he got most of the touches? If you need a running back off the waiver wire, Bell should be at the top of your wish list. Marlon Brown , WR Baltimore -- I like the cut of this guy's jib. I still have no idea what the heck that means but I like to throw out that phrase whenever possible. It came to me when ...

Tennessee Titans vs Buffalo Bills -Kenny Britt- There are currently no suspensions pending or injuries hampering the potentially elite Titans' receiver. This is the first time in 2012 that Britt should be viewed as a 100% must-start. Playing him at this juncture of the season is the exact reason why owners took Britt in the draft a few months back. With Britt at full throttle for the first time in a long time he needs to be in all lineups but he also needs to reward owners' faith and patience with a good showing here. Britt could turn out to be a second half gem or a draft day waste. The fantasy season is just beyond the halfway point so there is no time to dillydally. Dallas Cowboys vs Carolina Panthers -Felix Jones- Could Jones do to Murray in 2012, what Murray did to Jones in 2011? With Murray out week seven and perhaps longer, Jones has the chance to earn back some of his lost value. If Jones proves to be a reliable runner and the homerun threat he once was, he could earn additional work when Murray returns. He absolutely cannot afford to come off the field with yet another injury as Phillip Tanner is waiting in the same manner as Murray was. Jones has to remain on the field and productive in order to earn back some long-term value. His short-term value is at a season high but he could end up being like the Giants' Andre Brown, with a one and done type of effect if things don't fully work out. Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans -Joe Flacco-The Ravens' ball chucker has been rapidly ascending the QB rankings since week one. He has proven to be a borderline must-start and has provided amazing value for those who decided to wait on the position on draft day. Flacco has the chance to earn a little more "street cred" here as he gets matched up against the aggressive Houston Texans. This time around though, the Texans will be without one of their main contributors in linebacker Brian Cushing. The Wade Phillips driven defense still has top end contributors, some extremely elite, such as J.J. Watt, but it's simply not as effective. If Flacco can take advantage of the same defense that Aaron Rodgers just took to the butcher then his stock would be climbing, yet again. Flacco could find himself in the top ten rankings at quarterback for the rest of the year depending on his production here. There may not be a stronger test in the NFL today than the Texans. Cleveland Browns vs Indianapolis Colts -Reggie Wayne- The Colts' grey beard is the 2012 Steve ...
