BALLLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kang was one of the biggest question marks coming into the year for fantasy baseball owners.

Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 6

We’re rapidly approaching the point where unexpected successes or struggles can’t merely be hand-waved as small sample flukes, though some still qualify as such. While 80 percent of the season remains, there is such a thing as being too patient. Around this time last year, I was able to trade Allen Craig and Tony Cingrani […]

Top Five Two-Start Pitchers for Week Six

Week 6 Buy and Sell Pitchers for Fantasy Baseball

We’re about a fifth of the way through the season, which means OH GOD PANIC TRADE EVERYONE. Kidding! Don’t do that.

But as we’ve talked about before, there is a difference between being patient and being passive. A […]

The Cut List, Week 5: Time to Let These Players Go

Welcome back to the Cut List, the place where I bitch and moan about my terrible fantasy team. Seriously, what is up with Carlos Gonzalez? My season is slipping away with every 0-for-4. So what do I do? I can't trade CarGo now, at his lowest value, so my only choice is to bench him and […]

Dynasty / Keeper Deeper Dive: Jose Peraza

Peraza's Time Draws Near It's hard to find quality offensive players at either shortstop or second base. That's common knowledge. That's why teams like the Yankees are rumored to be looking to the trade market for some help. One such guy they have been rumored to like is Jose Peraza. Now the Braves' front office […]

Andrus, Harang, and Dee Gordon: Real Deal or Impostors in Week 5?

A shortstop that is underperforming expectations, a pitcher that had no expectations, and a second sacker blowing his projections completely out of the water are on tap this week.

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week Five)

Kris Bryant hasn’t hit a home run yet. Just let that sink in for a moment. 14 games into his career and a big goose egg under the home run total. It will come eventually though, and many more will follow. For now, who is number one in the MLB ready prospect power ranking list […]

Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 4

If you told me that Addison Russell would hit his first home run before Kris Bryant, I would say that you were crazy. If you told me that Russell would hit his second home run before Kris Bryant hit his first, I would probably call you a doctor right away. That is just one of […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 5 (Part 2)

The infusion of youth in the National League is really starting to flex their collective muscle.

[…]

Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Relievers On The Rise in Week 5

One month down, five months to go--unless you’re trapped in the Twilight Zone of small samples, luck (both good and bad) and inconsistency that accompany daily fantasy baseball. It's an exercise in futility, but I digress. In season-long traditional fantasy baseball formats, playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played (I sound like […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/5/15

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Also, sorry for laying a dud yesterday with two of the three offenses I suggested stacking. One due to postponement, the other due to the Yankees not figuring out R.A. Dickey.

Dynasty / Keeper Deeper Dive: Kyle Schwarber

Another Young Cub to Watch Something commonly known in fantasy baseball circles is that catchers are not particularly exciting. It's obviously due to their lack of at bats and the fact that their defensive position wears on their offensive ability over the course of a season. However, to entirely write off the importance of catchers for […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 5 (Part 1)

After the first month of the season, the new rules involving pace of play have seemingly worked. Or at the very least, games have gone quicker this season due to various reasons.

First Base/Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week 5

Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season.

Here at RotoBaller, we're always looking […]
