Will Dissly Lacks Upside In Week 18 Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly doesn't have much upside in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly will share snaps with Stone Smartt and possibly also with Hayden Hurst in a game that could see a lot of Chargers starters getting some rest. Dissly would seemingly have the highest floor […]


Stone Smartt A Floor Play, At Best, In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt is a non-zero floor option without much upside in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Smartt and Will Dissly will likely once again split time, with Hayden Hurst possibly mixing in at the position as well. Smartt might have the most upside of the three […]


Quentin Johnston A Decent Option In Week 18 Lineups

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is a decent option for Week 18 fantasy lineups. Whether or not the Chargers will play to win on Sunday depends on the results of Saturday's Bengals-Steelers game, but Johnston is likely to play regardless. With Josh Palmer (foot) already ruled out and Ladd McConkey potentially getting some […]


Ladd McConkey Good To Go For Week 18 If Needed

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey is off the injury report and good to go for a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. McConkey showed up on the report with a toe injury this week, missing practice on Wednesday. He was able to get in a limited session on Thursday and […]


Kimani Vidal A Potential Starter In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal could potentially take a starting role in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Much about the Bolts lineup depends on the results of Saturday's Bengals-Steelers game. If the Bengals win, the Chargers will likely play all of their starters as they could move up […]


J.K. Dobbins A Risky But High-Upside Play In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins is a high-risk but high-upside option in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers enter the weekend with some uncertainty around Sunday's game. Depending on the results of Saturday's games, the Bolts could be shooting for the No. 5 seed with a win, or […]


Justin Herbert A Potentially Good Option In Week 18 Lineups

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is potentially a strong fantasy option in Week 18 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers will either be locked into the No. 6 seed or have a chance at the No. 5 seed in the final game of the regular season, depending on the results of Saturday's games. […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Postseason Week 4

We did it, folks. We made it to the final series of the baseball season. The 2024 World Series will be a bi-coastal battle between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Two teams with very different rosters from top to bottom, but noticeably in the bullpens as well. The Dodgers had some […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Postseason Week 3

We're officially down to four teams left, internet friends! One of the Dodgers, Mets, Guardians, or Yankees will be the 2024 World Series champions (and all of those teams are set up for another good season next year, too). We've already seen some fantastic bullpen performances in these playoffs but also some surprising blow-ups. Three […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Postseason Week 2

We've all made it through the first week of the playoffs! Well ... we've all made it (online) through the first week of the playoffs. There are a few real-life baseball teams that can't say the same thing we can. Spooky season always brings great baseball with it, and this past week had plenty of […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Postseason Week 1

Congrats to all of you who won, placed, showed, or even just had fun in your fantasy leagues this season! We hope we were able to help you get the best out of your lineups from draft day until the last time you set your lineups. It was another very interesting season of baseball, for […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 28

Here we are, internet friends: the last weekend of the regular season (plus a doubleheader on Monday). We've made it through the year and most leagues are already done and figuring out who never ended up paying dues. Wait, how much was it for first place again? This week was an interesting and exciting one, as […]


Mason Miller - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 27

We're almost there, folks. Fantasy teams are deep in their playoffs (some leagues are already done!) and real teams are starting to plan for the real playoffs. We had two teams clinch their spot in the postseason this week, and several others are almost there with them. This week, we saw a little switch in […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 26

Sometimes, you make the playoffs in your home fantasy baseball league every season since its inception 17 years ago. Other times, you make it 16 years in a row and then actually miss the playoffs the 17th year by two games in the standings. I wonder how that feels, I'm asking for a friend... This […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 25

More and more fantasy baseball leagues are getting deeper and deeper into their playoffs, which unfortunately also means fewer and fewer fantasy managers still have all that hope that ran rampant in the spring. But still, those who are still alive in their leagues are alive in their leagues, and every little thing matters! This […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 24

Imagine thinking the Jim Mora "PLAYOFFS?" meme is still original in 2024 ... anyway, PLAYOFFS? We're talking about playoffs because some fantasy baseball leagues have already started, and most are at least getting close. Today's article will hopefully help those of you who made it or are trying to! The thing about fantasy baseball is […]


Mason Miller - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 23

More and more teams, both in real baseball and fantasy baseball, are starting to recognize that this could be their year, while plenty more are starting to see that it's probably not. We're at the point in the season where every save counts, every hold counts, and even every strikeout could be a game-changer. This week […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 22

Another week closer to the real baseball playoffs means another week even closer to the fantasy playoffs. Much like things are starting to take shape around MLB, and most fantasy leagues have weeded out their contenders and their pretenders (RIP to The Atrocities, my team that had made the playoffs 11 seasons in a row and […]

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 […]


James McArthur- Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

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 […]


Daniel Hudson - Fantasy Baseball Closers, Saves, Waiver Wire Pickups

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, […]


Michael Kopech - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Closers and Saves

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 […]


Devin Williams - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Relief Pitchers, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News Updates

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 […]


Tanner Scott - fantasy baseball rankings draft sleepers MLB injury news waiver wire pitchers

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 […]


Ryan Helsley - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Closers and Saves Sleepers, MLB Injury News

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 […]


Yimi Garcia- Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

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! […]


Evan Phillips - Fantasy Baseball Injury Report Update

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 […]
