John Ross (WR, CIN) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

After an extremely successful collegiate career, the Cincinnati Bengals selected John Ross with the ninth overall pick in the 2017 draft. He went a bit higher than many expected, but his elite athleticism obviously struck a chord with the Bengals front office.

Brad Ziegler (RP, MIA) - Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: On Friday night, Marlins closer AJ Ramos was traded to the Mets in a surprising move. Brad Ziegler should now take over as the new Marlins closer, although it's possible that he may not end the season in that role. Ziegler hasn't had the prettiest season (6.52 ERA, 1.83 […]

Amed Rosario (SS, NYM) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues, Monitor in All Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Another young prospect with a good chance to make an impression on owners is the Mets' Amed Rosario. It seems that Rosario is the one prospect who just hasn't gotten a glimpse of the MLB no matter how ravaged the Mets have […]

Cesar Hernandez (2B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-14 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Hernandez roared out of the gate this season, posting a .323/.375/.531 line in April.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: After going 0-for-4 in the first game of a doubleheader on June 10, Reyes had gone hitless in his last 24 at-bats. His season line at that point: .184/.257/.294, 3 HR, 7 SB. In the six weeks since, however, Reyes has been quietly great. […]

Paul DeJong (2B/3B/SS, STL) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: #CardinalsDevilMagic strikes again. Though St. Louis is currently under .500 and a long shot to make the postseason, they're enjoying yet another great performance from an unheralded farmhand.

Champ or Chump: Lucas Duda and Jeremy Hellickson

If teams keep completing this many trades, the actual deadline will be boring. The Mets acquired Marlins closer A.J.

Josh Bell (1B/OF, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie Josh Bell keeps climbing up the fantasy rankings, but not necessarily in ownership.

Alex Claudio (RP, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Claudio has inherited the closer job in Texas by default.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 59% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Prior to a rough outing on Tuesday July 25th, Clevinger had posted four consecutive games in which he completed six innings without allowing more than one earned run.
