Mid-Round First Base Targets and Avoids in 2020

Once you reach the middle-to-late rounds of drafts, it would be smart to consider drafting some upside fliers that can provide a great return on value.

Can Freddy Peralta Succeed as a Starter?

There is some uncertainty at the back of the Milwaukee rotation heading into 2020, with three candidates likely battling it out for one spot. Brandon Woodruff and Adrian Houser are locked into the starting five, while newcomers Brett Anderson and Josh Lindblom appear to have an inside track at two of the remaining spots. Given […]

Second-Year Hitters Ready To Break Out

We fantasy baseball players were treated to a large influx of talented rookie batters last season. Some like Peter Alonso and Eloy Jimenez enjoyed breakout seasons. Phenom prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. also made his big league debut last season and based on his lofty ADP, he's considered a no brainer to have a huge second […]

First Basemen Set to Break Out in 2020

As we continue to wait on the 2020 fantasy baseball season, we shall dig even deeper into each position to find potential breakout performers. The first base position is one that is very top-heavy and drops off really fast. Most analysts will have eight to 10 first-base targets that are on the must-draft list. For […]

NL Starting Pitching Sleepers for 2020

The shorter 2020 MLB regular season has led to a few shifts in fantasy strategy, but perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in the starting pitching landscape. We're used to constructing fantasy rotations around strikeout pitchers and ratio arms or high-upside flyers and solid innings-eaters. However, with a shorter season, there will likely be no major […]

Late-Round Strikeout Sleepers for 2020

The strikeout is on the rise. Even more so than home runs, nothing has taken off in this age of baseball quite like the strikeout. It used to be that no one this century reached 300 Ks in a season. Now, five players have in the past five seasons alone, including two in 2019. Averaging […]

Post-Hype Pitchers Set to Breakout

Post-hype pitchers are former top prospects who have struggled to find success in the Major Leagues. These are players who were once viewed as intriguing fantasy assets, but now have discounted prices due to the slow starts to their respective careers.  The three pitchers in this list have gained value either due to improved team […]

Second Base Draft Sleepers for 2020

There's a lot of talk heading into 2020 fantasy baseball drafts that there simply isn't any depth at second base. Shortstop is where the value lies, so everybody is planning to double-tap the position to also fill their MI spot too. As a result, most drafts see people pounce on the top second baseman early […]

September Speed Demons: Who Can Keep Up The Pace?

Earlier this preseason, I took a look at the hitters who experienced a power spike in the final month of the 2019 season in hopes of identifying adjustments that might lead to a 2020 breakout. Next, it's time to look at the players whose September stolen base numbers stood out from the rest of their […]

Shortstop Draft Sleepers for 2020

It is well known that the shortstop position heading into 2020 is really deep. Despite the positional depth, shortstops could dry up quickly if you wait too long to draft one, given roster constraints in many leagues require a starting middle infielder and a utility player. Owners willing to roll the dice until the middle-to-late […]

Yahoo Undervalued and Overvalued for H2H Points Leagues

Over the past week at RotoBaller, we've introduced a brand new approach to preparing for Points Leagues. Typically, analysts give you general points league rankings. We have those as well at RotoBaller. However, this approach falls short. Analysis and ranks must be platform specific, because every platform (ESPN, Yahoo!, CBS, NFBC, Fantrax) has wildly different scoring settings […]

Platoon Watch: Players Who Could Earn Starting Roles

Every season we see fringe players carve out roles on their respective teams during the spring, but in some cases, it's only a short-term solution. In other instances, players wait in the weeds during the regular season and pounce on their opportunity to solidify themselves into the everyday lineup. In this article, we’ll look at […]

We have assembled some of the best fantasy minds in the industry, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to "geek out" to baseball statistics and try to give you […]

Relief Pitcher Draft Sleepers for 2020

Is there a more frustrating fantasy category than saves? Time and time again, we spend top draft capital on purported "lock-down" closers only to see them lose their roles before May. Based on experience, it is best to wait out closer runs and, instead, target relief sleepers by identifying and drafting for talent over the […]

First Base Draft Sleepers for 2020

First base has historically been a deep position in fantasy baseball. However, in recent years, we've seen it become a lot more top-heavy with only five to seven players giving us a warm and fuzzy feeling if we're able to draft them as our starting first baseman. That's why it's even more important this year […]

Stock Your Dynasty Farm: NL West Prospect Sleepers

As a self-diagnosed prospect nut, I am constantly reading and looking at young players to gain an edge in my various dynasty, Ottoneu, and deep redraft leagues. It would be a shame if all this work only benefited me, so my friends at RotoBaller would like to present to you my favorite under-the-radar players that […]

Third Base Deep Sleepers for 2020

Third base is arguably the deepest position in fantasy baseball, making the position ripe for late-round gems and sleepers. The considerable depth at the 3B position allows fantasy owners to sit back and wait rather than drafting one in earlier rounds. Indeed, the 25 third basemen drafted within the first 200 picks by ADP are […]

Shortstops Set to Break Out in 2020

The shortstop position is so deep this season. Breakout targets will likely be late-round picks or maybe not even drafted in most leagues. Some players might even be better left on the watchlist of the waiver wire. In years past, we've seen the likes of Jorge Polanco, Tim Anderson, and Marcus Semien all break out […]

Auction Draft Pitching Targets Under $10

The strategy necessary to participate in an auction draft dwarfs that needed for a standard snake draft. While the difficulty level is ramped up, so too are the options and flexibility available to each owner. If someone wants to break the bank for the top three players in baseball, go crazy. No matter someone's plan […]
