Waiver Wire Watch List - Week 10 Free Agents
It’s hard to believe we’re through two full calendar months of the season, but here we are. The contenders have begun to separate themselves from the pretenders in both real life and fantasy, but with two thirds of the season left to play there’s still time to make up ground. This week’s theme is certainly... Read More
Week 10 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)
Being a fantasy writer, like being a fantasy owner, means being wrong on something of a regular basis. So when you nail one, it’s important to acknowledge (read: gloat about) it.

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 10
We were spoiled in Week 9 with a packed Memorial Day slate of games last Monday. That is not the case this week as we only have eight teams playing on Monday (NYY/DET doubleheader). That significantly reduces the amount of two-start pitchers we have for Week 10. However, that doesn’t mean we have zero options... Read More
Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller Staff League
Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason. Most of the scoring formats are more advanced, there are intense roster requirements and it’s a year-round commitment. The RotoBaller staff's lack of experience with the format was borne out by how poorly many of us drafted, making in-season improvements via the... Read More

Week 10 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers
I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster... Read More
