We are now on to Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season and the picture is getting clearer, in regards to streaming options. Last week, we separated the streamers by fantasy sites (Yahoo and Fantrax). This time, and probably for the foreseeable future, we’ll focus on the ownership percentage in two additional categories: below 50... Read More
Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 3, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week. If someone jumps... Read More

The era of the home run has been a bit of a double-edged sword for fantasy owners. On the one hand, the bench bat drafted in the 27th round can emerge as a 20+ HR hitter, adding value from an unexpected source. On the other side, pitcher ERAs are up, and the value of the... Read More
While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 2 and the start of the baseball season. Bottom line: the more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to... Read More
Week 2 of the young baseball season brought some more excitement: walkoffs, bench-clearing brawls, extra inning marathons, and more! But what about the bullpens? After a tumultuous Week 1, what went on in the bullpens around Major League Baseball in Week 2? Let's take a look at the news, the best performers, and any suggested... Read More
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

It's ugly out there on the catcher landscape. The drop-off of player ownership goes from Jonathan Lucroy at 70%... which is still well above the 50% Yahoo! ownership cutoff that we use for these waiver wire columns... to Austin Barnes at 38%. That is one heck of a drop-off. It's like going into a neighborhood... Read More
