Week 1 Waiver Wire - Outfielders (OF)

It’s the start of April, and baseball is in the air. The world just feels better when Opening Day comes along, and even more so because all of our fantasy teams have a shot at the title. Each new year brings its own collection of surprises from players no one had on their radar taking […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire Watch List

Every Monday we’ll be checking in on some names to keep an eye on and add to your watch list. Some may require quick action while others are simply options to keep in mind down the road. We’re just days into the 2018 MLB season but we’ve already seen a number of outstanding performances worthy […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open. The season has officially begun and managers are already ravaging through the waiver wire for various reasons. First base and third base are generally the best spots to look to improve your team’s power. In most cases, it is preferable that it includes a decent average but that isn’t always […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

The 2018 season is finally upon us, which means it's time to start overreacting to insanely small samples! Well, no – don't actually do that. As a rule, you shouldn't be making any drastic decisions at a time when Matt Davidson is tied for the league lead in home runs. But that doesn't mean you […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 1

The opening week of the MLB season runs a little longer than the typical two-start pitcher fantasy timetable, but the importance of boosting your pitching stats is still substantial. Unfortunately, with aces taking the hill on Thursday and Friday to start the year, we're stuck with lower tier arms in the first official two-start week. […]

Digging Deeper - Week 1 Waiver Wire Targets

We are here, fantasy baseball enthusiasts! As things get underway, this is a great time to overreact and propose Matt Davidson for Felipe Rivero and Brad Hand because closers are fickle beasts. Don't forget to cut Trea Turner because Dave Martinez likes his speed in the 6-hole. I kid, I kid. Welcome to Digging Deeper. […]

The Closer Carousel Turns (Already?) - How to Approach Boxberger, Kela, Strickland

We already knew that the closer position was the most volatile in baseball, but this is getting ridiculous. Three would-be closers have been displaced days before the season even starts, one by injury and two by manager decision. In 5x5 roto leagues, owning one of these volatile assets is a necessary evil. Throwing out FAAB […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire - Catchers

The regular season is just beginning and people are already likely sitting at home, staring at their computer screens mumbling, "Tore his MCL? Carrying a suitcase? Dude makes millions of dollars... he couldn't HIRE someone to carry it for him?" In case you're wondering what I'm talking about: Salvador Perez, who is one of the […]

Week 25 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

At this point in the season this might as well be a streamers column, but we’ll do our best to target arms that are more sustainable than just the matchup that they’re drawing next. While it’d be nice to advise caution when it comes to late-season risks, most times the leap is borne out of […]

Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 25

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Batting average is just one of many statistics fantasy owners must consider, but contact rate can also be telling of all-around success at the plate.
