Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds For Week 14

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season.

Power Risers and Fallers for Week 14: Buy or Sell?

Welcome back to this investigative piece where we examine players who have seen some notable changes in their power profiles -- for better or for worse -- in 2017.

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 14

With the Fourth of July now behind us, some great closers will be declaring their independence from their not-great teams soon. That should throw the fantasy world for a nice little spin. It's still early in July though, and the deadline doesn't come until the 31st. Closers will keep closing, setup men will keep setting […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We're now close to the All-Star Game and the catching stats are pretty grim, as far as the waiver wire goes. Nearly all the backstops with double-digit homers are above 50 % ownership, with three exceptions. Who are they? You can probably guess. Hint: They all appear later in this column. Play the Jeopardy theme song, please.... […]

Running Backs To Target For Zero RB Drafters In 2017

Champ or Chump: Mark Reynolds & Logan Morrison

It's All-Star season, and the entire baseball community is debating who should have been left off of the roster for their favorite "snubbed" player. There are plenty of quality options, from the superstar allure of Kris Bryant to  underappreciated gem Justin Turner. Fans can vote for one more player to join each league's roster from […]

Running Back Committees Not to Avoid In 2017

The phrase "running back by committee" (RBBC) has kept many a fantasy owner awake in the wee hours of the night. You can do the player research, read practice notes, watch coach interviews, and much more, only to have a player who seemed destined for 10-15 touches sit on the bench for the majority of the game. The […]

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/6/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

We have a 12 game main slate tonight with some big arms on the mound, and Coors Field in action. Plenty of options if you are looking for home run tonight, and a few spots to spend down at. Not major weather concerns as of now, but the MIA @ STL game should be monitored. […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: Points Leagues

2017 Player vs. Player - Mike vs. Tyrell Williams?

The Chargers have Keenan Allen, who has proven (when healthy) to be an elite level possession receiver. They signed Travis Benjamin last offseason. Dontrelle Inman has been serviceable when on the field. And last year injuries forced them to deploy Tyrell Williams, who proved himself capable of being one of the better receivers in the league. So […]

Running Back Committees To Avoid In 2017

Running back committees are essentially the kiss of death for fantasy production. The unpredictability of who gets touches when is enough to drive an owner to a hair-pulling hissy fit. And that's just for the teams we can even identify as even having a committee in the first place. Considering that we haven't hit the preseason […]
