2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

We're barreling toward the halfway point of the 2021 season, and with the onslaught of injuries showing no signs of stopping, diligence on the waiver wire is as crucial as ever.

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 12

You know, I probably put way more effort into this intro for this column than is necessary. Most people probably just skip down to where the list begins and don't even read this first part.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 12 Waiver Wire

With another week of injuries, committees, and blown saves behind us, fantasy managers are starting to see more and more how important having a good bullpen can be. Having the right relievers on a fantasy roster can make up for a somewhat subpar starting rotation, and ensuring you knock all pitching categories out of the […]

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 11

Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column.

I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each […]

Is Streaming Catchers a Smart Strategy?

The common adage is that you should be streaming at catcher, but sometimes I think we cling to that a little too tightly. We buy into the easy narratives of "Catchers can't hit" and "Don't waste high picks or FAAB on catchers" but I've always believed it was an oversimplification. Yes, the deeper your league […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 11

Huh. Well there aren't a lot of pitchers in line for two starts in Week 11. In fact by my count there are only 19 pitchers projected to make two starts this week. This is going to make things a bit tougher when it comes to finding two-start streamers on the waiver-wire. But before we […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have once again been littered with injuries. Both good and bad things arise from injuries. Let's start with the bad, which means losing a player, sometimes a key player, from your roster. The good is a chance to add a new player, and certain players […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

Welcome back, Ke'Bryan Hayes. The top prospect was sidelined for two months with a wrist injury but hasn't missed a beat since returning from the IL. In his first game back, he collected two hits. In his second game, he collected two more, one of which was a home run. Hayes' rostered percentage never approached […]

Sometimes, it's nice to take a break, kick your feet up, and just have a relatively quiet bullpen week.

There were still blown saves, confusing committees, and injuries […]

Well no no-hitters this week. What a disappointment for fans of 27 of the 30 teams in baseball.
