Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 14

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 14. One-inning middle relievers are the constant sources for holds and specialists can manage to secure a hold even with one out. However, while specialists can get many […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 14

Another week gone means another few interesting things happened in bullpens across the league. A team that just traded their closer may have found their new one. A team who lost their closer to injury may be holding tryouts for their closer-of-the-future. A team who finally got their closer back has seen him struggle and […]

Week 14 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.

Week 14 Waiver Wire - Catcher

The 2018 Fantasy Baseball season has not been kind to catchers. The highest ranked catcher is J.T. Realmuto. Players like Wilson Ramos and Evan Gattis rank higher than Buster Posey, while fantasy darlings such as Gary Sanchez and Willson Contreras rank ninth and 11th among catchers respectably. Due to the amount of uncertainty at the […]

Holy guacamole, Batman, we’re almost halfway through the season! I hope those of you that could scoop Freddy Peralta and Shane Bieber after last week’s notes didn’t hesitate.

Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller's Staff League

Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason.

Week 13 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

I’ve returned after a one-week absence. Thanks to Sean Scampton for holding down the fort during my vacation.

The Corner Store is open! It is week 13 and the options are quite limited. We've gotten to the part of the season where reality has set in.

Now that summer is officially here, it’s the perfect time to take a hard look in the mirror. Are you a contender or a pretender? Are you close enough to be a buyer? Should you sell off assets and acquire young talent or draft picks in your dynasty league? It’s still a little early to […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 13

We have 12 games on Monday, which increases the amount of two-start pitchers in the player pool for Week 13.

Two-Start Pitchers: What Are They Really Worth?

The idea of the “two-start pitcher” makes an appearance on most fantasy baseball podcasts, articles, sites, and newsletters as players are ranked and recommended to owners and teams.  Selecting pitchers based on match-ups, park factors, and opponents over the scoring week is a regular debate as owners plan their rosters. At the same time, other […]
