Week 16 Waiver Wire Watch List

The all-star break is almost here, which means we’re getting ever so close to the MLB trade deadline and, of course, the fantasy trade deadline. The waiver wire can play just as important a role, too. Whether you’re unable to strike a deal or need to backfill your roster after completing a two-for-one trade, it’s […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 16

With the All-Star break approaching, predicting the two-start pitchers for Week 16 can be tricky. There’s one game on Thursday (STL/CHC) and everybody else resumes play on Friday.

Week 16 MLB Closers and Saves Report

Another mostly quiet week in bullpens around baseball, leading up to what is sure to be a wild trade deadline in a couple of weeks. A big name closer said a big word and got himself sent to the minors. A guy who was a closer very recently is a closer again due to an […]

Week 16 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 […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Happy 7-11 day, everyone! Be sure to go get a free slurpee if the store still runs that promotion, but not before sitting down and fixing your team's starting rotation. Those in roto leagues better be on top of their innings limits and where they stand compared to opponents. Don't fret if you've only got […]

Relief Pitchers Deeper Dive - Week 15

Today and every Tuesday moving forward throughout the 2018 MLB season, we will take a deep dive into some of the lesser-owned relief pitchers on the market that are worth keeping tabs on.

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Just a week left to go until the All-Star break. At this point, your situation has begun to take shape, but there's still a lot of baseball left to be played. While the deluge of middle infield injuries has thankfully slowed to a trickle, those of you in need of a boost at those positions […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

It is week 15 and you have to be very selective these days. We've gotten to the part of the season where reality has set in. Replacement corner infielders who once were performing well beyond their skills have come back down to earth. With a basic junkyard of options on the waiver wire, it is vital […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 15

We have 13 games on Monday, including two doubleheaders: NYY/BAL and PHI/NYM. Also, five of the teams playing have “TBD” listed as their Monday probable pitcher. However, we’re still able to find six streamable starting pitcher options for your fantasy team. Consistency is the key, as my streamers tend to have two things in common: […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Watch List

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 15

LeBron to the Dodgers? Yellow card and an early exit for Mike Trout? It was an eventful week in sports, but not so much in baseball, and even less in the bullpens. One closer hit the disabled list while another came off, and a West Coast committee started to clear up a bit. With the […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

We've officially hit July and while you can try to call the All-Star break the real "midseason checkpoint" of the baseball season, the halfway mark per games played is now in the rearview mirror.
