MLB Starting Pitcher Depth Charts for Fantasy Baseball: Week 5

2025 Fantasy Baseball Rankings Articles & Analysis
Fantasy baseball rankings articles and analysis, including ADPs and draft rankings, including tiered ranks and MLB rankings advice.

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 4)

When I saw the news that Blake Snell was going to start against the New York Yankees, my first thought was, “Potentially elite left-handed pitching prospect debuting against a team that just struggled against lefty Rich Hill?! I know who I’m starting in DraftKings on Saturday!” As it turned out, Snell looked a little shaky […]


MLB Starting Pitcher Depth Charts for Fantasy Baseball: Week 4

To see our tiered staff rankings for starting pitchers, head over to our fantasy baseball rankings dashboard. You can easily filter and export all sorts of rankings and tiers - mixed leagues, points leagues, top prospects, and more! Starting pitchers get you 40% of the key stats in 5x5 leagues, and are sometimes even more important in H2H and points […]


Week 4 Start/Sit: MLB Starting Pitcher (SP) Matchups

RotoBaller continues to bring you a complete list of the coming week's pitching matchups, as well as expert advice on whether to sit or start each pitcher. This advice is based on a variety of factors- quality of the opponent, recent starts by the pitcher, ballpark, batter vs. pitcher matchups, and much more. RotoBaller has […]


Week 3 Start/Sit: MLB Starting Pitcher (SP) Matchups

Welcome to Week 3, RotoBallers! A lot happened in Week 2: Vince Velasquez's 16-strikeout gem (you're welcome for the recommendation to start him, by the way); Jaime Garcia's one-hitter (got that one); Chris Sale's shutout (nailed that one, too). One way to take advantage of matchups is to pick out the strong pitchers against the […]


Week 2 Start/Sit: MLB Starting Pitcher (SP) Matchups

Hey there, RotoBallers! You've survived your first week of fantasy baseball. Surely you drafted Trevor Story and Tyler White and Ross Stripling. No, you didn't? Neither did most of us. (Now is the time when all of those guys who did draft one of those guys gets to gloat.) Even if you didn't draft those guys, […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 2)

Regular season baseball is back! And my first comment about the season, how about Trevor Story?! Throw a pitch over the plate and watch him hit it a long way. I am not going to say that one hot start is going to propel him over Corey Seager as the favorite for the NL Rookie […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for 2016 (March)

The last of the monthly Top 30 Fantasy Prospect Rankings for the preseason. This article should give fantasy owners a good idea of who to target in drafts and who could have some value this season. Not all of these rookies are worth drafting: some will open up the season with their team and begin […]


Finding Cheaper, Better Alternatives by ADP

Hi, all. New guy here. Well, kind of -- new to RotoBaller, not new to fantasy baseball analysis. Maybe you have read my stuff at RotoGraphs (of the FanGraphs.com family). Maybe you haven't. It's all good either way. The RotoBaller staff has charitably offered me a slot on their MLB writing staff, which I graciously […]


Top 10 Dynasty Third Basemen For 2016

Make sure to also check out our awesome 2016 fantasy baseball rankings dashboard, where you will find more of my dynasty rankings. You'll also find RotoBaller staff rankings for all positions, tiered rankings starting to ramp up, MLB prospect rankings for 2016, and much more. Okay, let's get to it.   Ranking the Top 3B […]

Preseason Champ or Chump: Third Base

Third base is home to two of the trendiest "sleeper" picks this draft season, Kris Bryant and Miguel Sano. I put sleeper in quotes because they both need to hit their upsides to simply break even relative to their current draft day costs. This seems to happen every year with a few young players, but […]


Predicting the Top 10 Finishers for HR in 2016

Chicks dig the longball, right? There are so many freaking players who could hit 35 or more home runs, and I hated having to leave guys like Miguel Sano, J.D. Martinez and Josh Donaldson off this list. Also, Manny Machado, Paul Goldschmidt, Miguel Cabrera, Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Byung-ho Park, David Ortiz, Albert […]


Top 400: Dynasty League Staff Rankings

Fellow RotoBallers.We are getting closer. Fantasy baseball drafts have already been taking place, and will be heating up over the next few weeks. Spring training already roaring, and the MLB season is near. With that comes the excitement of fantasy baseball drafts, and we are here to help you dominate them. Today we are bringing you our top […]


Predicting The Top 10 Finishers in Saves

Before we get to the list, how about some honorable mentions? Despite his struggles down the stretch last season, Shawn Tolleson had a terrific 2015. With a career-high K/9 rate and a career-low BB/9 rate, he was able to rack up 35 saves as Texas won the AL West division. With the Rangers now looking to build […]


Top 500: Staff Rankings and Auction Values (March)

Fellow RotoBallers. We are getting closer. Spring training is is roaring, and the MLB season is near. With that comes the excitement of fantasy baseball drafts, and we are here to help you dominate them. Today we are bringing you our top 500 staff rankings, updated for March, along with our auction dollar recommendations (for those who […]


Top 10 Dynasty Shortstops For 2016

Welcome back RotoBallers. We are almost finished with my top 10 series for dynasty rankings at every position. Today we tackle shortstops, a tricky position for fantasy baseball owners every year. You can read the rest of my top 10 dynasty rankings here. Make sure to also check out our awesome 2016 fantasy baseball rankings […]


Preseason Champ or Chump: Second Base

Position scarcity gives certain players an uptick in ADP over what their established production warrants based on the feeling that it is important to get something out of the lineup slot. Buster Posey is a much better offensive performer than other catchers, for example, so slotting him in at C is more valuable than a […]


MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for 2016

As we get closer to pitchers and catchers reporting, it becomes increasingly clear which prospects may have major impacts in 2016. There are the household names like Corey Seager, Byron Buxton, and Steven Matz, who will all play major roles for their teams and for fantasy owners. The rest of the 2016 MLB prospect class has a […]


RotoBaller Rankings vs. ADP: Undervalued Relief Pitcher Targets

If you’re a regular reader of RotoBaller (and how could someone as smart, funny, and handsome as you not be?), you’ve doubtless already checked out our rankings assistant tool. We rolled our final preseason update last week. With draft season ramping up now, it seems like a good time to check our expert opinions against […]


RotoBaller Rankings vs. ADP: Undervalued Starting Pitcher Targets (Part 2)

If you’re a regular reader of RotoBaller (and how could someone as smart, funny, and handsome as you not be?), you’ve doubtless already checked out our rankings assistant tool. We just rolled out our final preseason update. With draft season ramping up, it seems like a good time to check our expert opinions against the […]

Preseason Champ or Chump: First Base

While I provide generic ADP data in these articles, it is at least as important to look at the data for the site and format you are drafting on as well. Wonky default ratings often lead to absurd values, such as Masahiro Tanaka lasting way too long in the recent Rotoballer industry draft. It is […]


RotoBaller Rankings vs. ADP: Undervalued Starting Pitcher Targets (Part 1)

If you’re a regular reader of RotoBaller (and how could someone as smart, funny, and handsome as you not be?), you’ve doubtless already checked out our rankings assistant tool. We’re rolling out our final update this week. With draft season ramping up now, though, it seems like a good time to check our expert opinions […]


Top 10 Impact 2016 Fantasy Prospects: First Basemen

Last year, there were only three stand out rookie first basemen: Justin Bour, Travis Shaw, and Ben Paulsen. Usually, first basemen are established players who tend to hold onto their position for a long time, so it is rare to find a rookie ready to have a big impact at the position. There are not […]

RotoBaller Rankings vs. ADP: More Undervalued Outfield Targets

With draft season ramping up now, though, it seems like a good time to check our expert opinions against the wisdom of the crowds. Over the past few days we've highlighted some draft targets - undervalued players we like, with notable discrepancies between their ADP and how the staff here at RotoBaller views their 2016 value. […]


Predicting the Top 10 Finishers for WHIP in 2016

The 2016 baseball season is coming in hot, but more importantly the 2016 fantasy baseball season is squarely upon us. In a standard 5x5 league, your starting pitchers are going to be accountable for four out of the five pitching categories, with one of those being WHIP. The Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched stat […]


Top 10 Impact 2016 Fantasy Prospects: Catchers

Last season, several rookie catchers were promoted and had big seasons for fantasy owners wary enough to grab them. Guys like JT Realmuto, James McCann, Tucker Barnhart, and Blake Swihart all helped fantasy teams by providing value in a typically weak fantasy position. Don’t expect that to happen again this season. There are not really […]

If you’re a regular reader of RotoBaller (and how could someone as smart, funny, and handsome as you not be?), you’ve doubtless already checked out our rankings assistant tool. We've been putting out a ton of content since December, and we rolled out our last preseason update this week. With draft season ramping up now, […]
