Week 2 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

Whether it’s because of an injury or poor performance, there are always opportunities to stream players off the waiver wire.

AL-Only League Waiver Wire Pickups for Week One: Dyson, Cron, Maybin and More

Your draft is over, the season has begun and it's time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. WRONG! With each team now having played at least two or three games, it's the perfect time to overreact to that 3-for-3 performance on Opening Day or that spot start given to an unheralded […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

Baseball season is here! In the immortal words of Spongebob Squarepants: “Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?” Your teams are set and you’re already rolling through the first few days of the season, but perhaps you have a few roster spots on the edge of your team that you aren’t married to. Maybe you’re […]

The regular season is just about wrapped up and the fantasy season is entering its Championship Week 2 weekend. Hopefully you were able to utilize the streamers strategy en route to a 2015 banner. I know I did: It looks all about locked up for the Out 4-6 Weeks squad. I was able to use an […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 26 (Part 1)

In a microcosm of their entire 2015 season yesterday, a fight broke out in the Washington Nationals dugout between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper. Apparently, Papelbon was upset that Harper lolly-gagged down to first on a routine pop up late in the game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Anyone can see this video on YouTube or […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 25 (Part 2)

We have our first two playoff teams for the postseason and they’re from the same division. In this last week, both the Cardinals and Pirates stamped their tickets for October.

Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 25

I’d planned to implore you all this week, yet again, to add Jung-ho Kang for the stretch run. Unfortunately, Kang suffered a torn MCL on a nasty collision in the field on Thursday. He’ll need at least six months to rehab the injury and could miss a significant chunk of time at the start of […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 24 (Part 2)
