Jonathan Villar (2B/3B/SS, NYM) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: Next week, Villar checks two of the most important boxes when it comes to streaming. He's been raking at the plate for the better part of the month, so he's hot, and the Mets are also playing seven games, so he'll […]

Bailey Ober (SP, MIN) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Out of the pitchers available in over 50 percent of leagues, you'd be hard-pressed to find one who had a better month of August than Ober. Over his last five starts he's recorded a 2.30 ERA, 1.098 WHIP and 23.9 percent […]

J.A. Happ (SP, STL) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Happ was not putting up great numbers with Minnesota this season, but since being traded to St. Louis he has shown some signs of improvement, as he's gone 3-1 with a 4.30 ERA, 1.330 WHIP and 18.7 percent strikeout rate over […]

Mike Minor (SP, KCR) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Yet another pitcher who has been inconsistent on the mound this year, Minor's overall numbers are not good this year as he is 8-12 with a 5.25 ERA and 1.258 WHIP over 152 2/3 innings of work. He's had some nice […]

Tarik Skubal (SP, DET) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Skubal enters Week 24 coming off a rough showing in his last start against Oakland, where he allowed six runs over five innings of work to fall to 8-12 on the season. Before that, Skubal had looked great over his first […]

Steven Matz (SP, TOR) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: While inconsistent at times, Matz has been on a good run over his last nine starts where he's gone 3-3 with a 2.31 ERA, 1.286 WHIP and 17.2 percent strikeout rate across 46 2/3 innings. Matz kicks off the week against […]

Dynasty Decisions - Injured Players to Target
Before Week 1 has kicked off, fantasy managers who drafted early are already having to blow a melancholy kiss goodbye to early draft picks like J.K. Dobbins and Travis Etienne. Painful though it may be, there is no choice but to click the Drop Player button and search for a suitable replacement. In the dynasty […]

Bailey Ober (SP, MIN) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Since the All Star Break, Bailey Ober has produced excellent ratios (2.81 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) and struck out 40 batters while walking only six in his 41.2 IP. That he only has one win in that span is a reflection of the Twins […]

Yoshi Tsutsugo (1B/3B/OF, PIT) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Anytime you suit up for three teams in a single season, it's safe to say things haven't gone according to plan.

Brandon Marsh (OF, LAA) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Marsh hasn't offered a ton of category juice - just a single home run and three stolen bases in 44 games.

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 24
The first full week of September means rosters have expanded for MLB teams and to keep an eye out for those September callups. Of course, the rules were different this year. Rosters were already expanded to 26, and September has only stretched that to 28. Thus, the famous day came with a trickle rather than […]

Carlos Hernández (SP/RP, KCR) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Some scouts questioned whether Carlos Hernandez could be anything more than a middle reliever despite his ability to touch triple digits. Right now, he's doing a pretty good job in the rotation. Since July 29, he's made seven starts with sparkling ratios (1.91 […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 24
Here we are: the final month. At this stage of the game, it's a full-out sprint with little room for error.

Scott Barlow (RP, KCR) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Who the primary saves option is in Kansas City has been a point of contention for most of the year, but Scott Barlow appears to have taken command of the ninth inning.

Defense Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts
Drafting and starting the right fantasy football team defense every week can be a difference maker. Each year NFL defenses change a lot, and as the season progresses we see which units are more fantasy viable that others. With that comes a lot of defense streaming off the waiver wire, which can be both beneficial […]

Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts
The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]

All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football
You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions
I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]
