Jalen Cropper Leads The Cowboys In Targets On Sunday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Cropper led the team in targets in a preseason loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Cropper saw six balls thrown his way, making four catches for 26 yards including a long of 12. The undrafted free agent spent last season on the Cowboys practice squad and would likely need several […]

Jalen Brooks Makes A Big Catch In A Preseason Game

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks made a big catch in Sunday's preseason game loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Brooks was targeted twice, making both catches for 49 yards. One of his catches was the biggest play of the game for Dallas, a 43-yard completion tossed from quarterback Cooper Rush. Brooks played in seven […]

Malik Davis Leads The Cowboys Backfield In Preseason Game

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis led the Cowboys backfield in carries and yards in a preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Davis ran the ball eight times, gaining 18 yards, with a long of just four. The rest of the Cowboys backfield combined for just nine carries, so Davis had his chances in […]

Trey Lance Plays Most Of The First Cowboys Preseason Game

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance played most of the Cowboys preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Lance attempted 41 passes, completing 25 of them for 188 yards. He did not throw a touchdown but also did not turn the ball over. He did take three sacks, losing 16 yards. On the ground, he rushed […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 21

So now there's a little room between us and the trade deadline. The dust has started to settle and even the playoff race has started to change a bit, with some teams making moves in one direction while others go in the opposite. As things settled post-deadline, we saw some bullpens reformed, some new closers […]

Cameron Dicker Scores The Only Three Chargers Points

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker scored the only three points for the team in a 16-3 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Dicker nailed his only field goal attempt for a career-long 58 yard score. He also added a solo tackle on special teams for good measure. Dicker is an extremely reliable kicking option […]

Isaiah Spiller Ineffective In Preseason Opening Game

Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller was ineffective on the ground in a Preseason Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Spiller ran the ball five times for a total of five yards on the ground. He did add three catches on three targets for an additional 18 yards however. Spiller had some bright […]

Simi Fehoko Leads The Chargers Receiving Corps In Their First Preseason Action

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Simi Fehoko led the team in receptions and finished second in yards gained in a Preseason Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Fehoko was targeted four times, tied for the team lead in that category, and made three catches, gaining 33 yards. Most of his yards came on a […]

Jaret Patterson Leads The Chargers Backfield In Preseason Opener

Los Angeles Chargers running back Jaret Patterson led the Chargers backfield in carries and yards in the first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. Patterson carried the ball seven times for a total of 38 yards, including a long run of 16. The college star was an undrafted free agent in 2023 but did not […]

Easton Stick Doesn't Do Much In Preseason Opener

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick didn't do too much in the opening preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. Stick got the start in place of an injured Justin Herbert (foot) and completed just five of his 13 pass attempts for 31 yards and an interception. He took two sacks and added one rush for […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 20

Well, folks, that was a wild one. The trade deadline came and went, but it certainly made its presence known. There weren't as many *huge* trades as in some other years, and it seemed like there were fewer last-minute deals, but it was still an exciting baseball holiday and it still is sure to make […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 19

The All-Star Game is such old news, we're all talking about the trade deadline now! It was another intriguing week of baseball and bullpens across the league held part of that intrigue. The trade deadline is in just a few days (Tuesday, July 30!) and while we haven't seen or heard too much buzzing yet, […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 18

Not a lot of baseball to talk about this week (the All-Star Game was fun but like...there aren't too many fantasy leagues where it counts.) The second half is coming, and that means the trade deadline is getting closer and closer. If it feels like the first half was more than half, that's because it definitely […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 17

Next week: All-Star Game. Soon after: trade deadline. All the baseball holidays are coming at us fast, and fantasy baseball leagues are figuring out who is competing this year and who is just along for the ride. As always, bullpens have played a huge role not just in "real" baseball, but also in the fun […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 16

We all know we're a couple of weeks past the official start of summer, but nothing feels more "hey it's summer" than Fourth of July. There's a lot of important baseball coming up until a much needed All-Star break soon, with teams on the cusp of contention needing to figure out what to do at […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 15

It would be fun if MLB found a way to make All-Star Game fan voting work for pitchers, too. They would probably make it some unnecessarily complicated method, but I think we'd be willing to deal with it to see it happen. It would likely be even more unnecessarily complicated to have it work for […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 14

There goes another week and we're closer to the All Star Game and closer to the trade deadline. With so many teams in striking distance of a Wild Card spot, this should be an interesting deadline. If standings stay similar to how they are now, we could see only a handful of teams legitimately selling, which […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 13

Another week in the rearview is another week closer to the official start of summer, which is another week closer to the All-Star Game, which is another week closer to the trade deadline. We're flying through the 2024 baseball season, folks, and it's been...a carnival ride of some sort, depending on your team. This week, an […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 12

Who needs a summer solstice? All-Star voting is now open, and that should be the true sign that summer has started. Closers aren't election-eligible, but plenty will be in Arlington, Texas for the game on July 16. There will even be some top-tier setup men. Maybe even a middle reliever sneaks his way in there! […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 11

Another exciting week of baseball gone by (depending, you know...on what team you root for), and some good drama before, during, and after the games made for a very interesting seven days. As we get closer and closer to the official summer, fantasy managers need to start looking toward the trade deadline and thinking ahead […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 10

Another week gone by, and this one was a lot less eventful, at least bullpen-wise. No major changes, no huge milestones, no trades. But that doesn't mean there weren't saves! That doesn't mean a few committees haven't started becoming more and more clear. That doesn't mean a closer who looked to be on his way […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 9

With another interesting week of baseball behind us, things are really starting to take shape for the 2024 baseball season. Hot starts are cooling off, season-opening slumps are recovering, and roles are getting more and more defined. Not a lot of major changes this week in the bullpens across the league, but a few minor […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 8

It's still far in the distance but we're starting to see a glimmer of the trade deadline way off in the horizon. Shout-out to the Marlins and Padres making a deal this week to remind us of the wild time that awaits us at the end of July. As always, closers and other high-leverage relievers […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 7

We've made it through the first month of the season, and it's been a good one. For some teams. And for some players. But also a really, really bad one. For some teams. And for some players. Lots of highs and lows already in the 2024 baseball season, and bullpens have not been safe from […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 5

Yeah, sure, the NFL Draft happened last night and it was exciting, but did you see that Marlins reliever Calvin Faucher has started his Marlins career with 7.2 scoreless innings and a 10:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio? Maybe we're a little too bullpen-brained here in the RotoBaller Closers and Saves Report... Another week of baseball is behind us, […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 4

It's still early enough in the 2024 season that we can have a lot of fun with small sample sizes. For example, Kyle Finnegan, Ryan Helsley, and Clay Holmes each have seven saves. The Astros, Marlins, White Sox, Rockies, and Twins don't even have seven wins yet. If you combine the Marlins and the White […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 3

Another week down and now we have pretty much every baseball team with a dozen games played. A lot of things make sense (Mookie Betts and the Dodgers are really good, the Phillies and Braves are battling for the NL East, the White Sox are bad, etc.) Some things make less sense (what happened to […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 2

We're a week into the season and...the Angels are in first place, the Guardians are the best team in baseball by run differential, and the Marlins might never win a game again. In other words: it's still early, folks! But early or not, we've already seen some bullpen trends start to develop across the league. […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 1

We've made it, folks! The offseason is behind us, the Seoul Series already happened, and Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues are both just memories. It's opening weekend 2024 and...there is already so much going on in the league's bullpens. We had a few Opening Day surprises regarding how managers chose to deploy some of their bullpen […]

Closers and Saves Bullpen Report for Fantasy Baseball - Late March Edition

We're another week closer to Opening Day (or, in between Opening Days for Dodgers and Padres fans). That means we have our first two official saves of 2024! Besides that, bullpen hierarchies are starting to look much more defined, and injuries are still ravaging pitchers on seemingly every team. In this weird liminal space where […]
