Five Players to Target in Standard Leagues, But Fade in PPR Leagues

In the fantasy football world, two statistical categories are valued over all others -- yards and touchdowns. Sure, how points are determined for those yards and touchdowns may vary from league to league.

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Shortstops

If you came to me eight years ago and asked about the depth at shortstop, I would tell you that aside from a few stud prospects, the shortstop position did not look great. There weren’t a lot of impact bats and there were mostly just some slick defenders at the position. Now all of that […]

Poetry in Motion: The Versatility of Eduardo Nunez

Eduardo Nunez is an All-Star. While that is now a fact, it has taken many by surprise. The 29-year-old former Yankees prospect wasn't on anyone's radar before the season started and wasn't even guaranteed to be in the starting lineup on a cellar-dwelling Twins team. To take it a step further (as is my modus operandi), […]

Travis Jankowski (OF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: Jon Jay's prolonged injury (6-8 weeks) clears the way for the Padres youth movement to invade the outfield. Travis Jankowski has been on the roster as a fourth outfielder all season, but has received limited playing time until now. Even so, Jankowski produced […]

Ben Revere (OF, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: Ben Revere's season has never really gained momentum, starting with an early season injury. Upon his return, Revere hit just .170 in May over 94 at-bats with two stolen bases. June was better, as he hit .274 with eight steals. In the first […]

Jose Ramirez (2B/3B/SS/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all 12+ team leagues. OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker leagues. EXPERT ANALYSIS: Jose Ramirez has been tremendously useful thus far as he's posted a 42/4/32/10/.300 batting line, which is good for the 114th best stat line in the fake game in standard leagues. Not only has he been enormously productive, and likely […]

Lonnie Chisenhall (3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 26 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Lonnie Chisenhall has been on the fantasy radar before, but only for brief periods of time. In each of the last two seasons, he had short bursts of production that ultimately fizzled into mediocrity. But a funny thing has happened this […]

Raisel Iglesias (SP/RP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It's safe to say this season hasn't gone according to plan for Raisel Iglesias and his fantasy owners.

Melky Cabrera (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For the majority of his career, Melky Cabrera has been an unexciting player for fantasy purposes. In fact, he's only ever posted consecutive above-average offensive seasons once, and that season ended with a PED suspension. The first two months of […]

Danny Espinosa (1B/2B/3B/SS, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 69 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Espinosa's ownership rate has skyrocketed recently, and for good reason. Over the past week, he's hitting an absurd .385/.407/.962 with five homers and 15 RBI. Obviously that's an impossible pace to sustain, but the veteran infielder (he's eligible everywhere except […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It's Week 14 of the season and it's also the final full week before the All-Star Break. I think the All-Star catcher of the waiver wire would be J.T. Realmuto.
