A big Saturday of MLB action awaits today and there are plenty of DraftKings contests to participate in. The word of the day is value.

Cameron Rupp (C, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep NL-Only Leagues, Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Rupp could help a LOT of lineups as a second catcher. He's hitting .282 with 29 hits, and while his two homers show a lack of power, he's hitting better than a lot of catchers right now, many of whom are established […]

Francisco Cervelli (C, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Francisco Cervelli’s batting average and ownership numbers keep going down a bit (he was at .267 before Wednesday's game), but he should have no problem turning things around. With the lower quality of catching stats, you should be taking a bit more of […]

Matt Wieters (C, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Wieters has been lurking under the surface, and now he's looking like he's ready to strike. His batting average has been on the rise— it was .288 heading into Wednesday's action. Better grab him now before everyone else starts to realize that […]

Only seven games were played, but there were still plenty of performances worth highlighting. Here's a quick rundown of those who impressed on Thursday, and those who want to pretend the day never happened. Editor’s […]

Fantasy Baseball Risers and Fallers from Week 8: Sal Perez, J-Mart, Mazara, and More

It's Week 8 of Risers and Fallers. The weather is warming up, and so are many hitters around baseball. Some of these guys won't remain on your league's waiver wire for long. There's a nice influx of youth around the game and some of the top prospects could soon get the call to the big […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Catcher

It's kind of appropriate that it feels like summer as I write this today. The temperature's in the red and so are the ownership levels of catchers on Fleaflicker. Week Eight is not great. It's like a bad day on the stock market - there's red all over as people seem to be cutting catchers. […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

Welcome to another round of the SP Waiver Wire guide, where we’re hunting for those pitchers that will vault us over the competition. Perhaps you’re struggling through starts from Matt Harvey, Dallas Keuchel and Sonny Gray, well these guys can alleviate that. We’re nearing the end of May, so let’s see what’s out there, ignoring […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Outfield

It's already Week 8 of the MLB season and there aren't many on-the-fence guys left on the waiver wire, at least not in the outfield. Most guys hovering around 50% ownership are washed up, former stars who would do nothing but drag your team down for months to come. However, there are a handful of […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: First Base and Third Base

As the season progresses, it becomes simultaneously easier and harder to mine the waiver wire for production. It’s more difficult in the sense that top performers have mostly been plucked away already, but easier to find players whose early struggles have obscured recent success. The usual caveats about sample size and arbitrary endpoints aside, using […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should turn nice profits in the weeks to come. As always, feel free to reach out to me directly […]

Bullpen Waiver Wire Pickups For Week Eight

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men that have proven to be closer candidates to target off the waiver wire for Week 8 of the fantasy baseball season. The more likely a team is to win, the more likely a pitcher will be eligible […]

AL-Only Leagues: Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups For Week Eight

As May comes to an end, we are about to close the chapter on the first third of the season. No fantasy team is a lost cause at this point, but if your team is floundering, the time to pick up the pace and still have a reasonable shot at competitiveness is beginning to wane. […]

NL-Only Leagues: Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week Eight

Some familiar faces return to the list this week. Several players who were identified as sleepers as early as week one in this series are still contributing in fantasy leagues. Suffice to say, most of these players are not five-tool guys or elite prospects. Rather, they are role players or category specialists who may fill […]

Poetry in Motion: The Speed of Jonathan Villar

Jonathan Villar is your National League steals leader. No, really. Villar has 15 SB in 21 attempts and shows no sign of slowing down--literally. Stolen bases are a highly coveted asset in fantasy baseball, as only a precious few players are capable of putting up 30+ SB in a given year. But speed alone won't […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Shaw, Shelby and Sonny

Shelby Miller made offseason headlines after commanding an ace's price tag in the trade market. There were plenty of critics, but everyone assumed he would be better than his current performance. Travis Shaw seemed likely to usurp the struggling Pablo Sandoval at some point this year, but injury has opened the door faster than anticipated. […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Beltran has made huge waves for the Yankees this season and is on pace for his first 30 HR season since 2012 while with the St. Louis Cardinals. His SLG%, ISO and K% are all up from last year while his BABIP […]

Peter O'Brien (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Peter O'Brien has long been the Diamondbacks’ most highly-touted prospect, as well as one of the most celebrated around the league. After making the transition from catcher to the outfield this year, he has warranted Kyle Schwarber comparisons. The 25 year-old O’Brien has […]

Tyler Goeddel (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the first month of his young career, Tyler Goeddel struggled mightily, going just 5-for-34 over his first 16 games. The Phillies remained patient, however, and since May 6, the 23-year-old has rebounded to the tune of a .378/.417/.578 line to go with two doubles, […]

Leonys Martin (OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Across 145 AB in 2016, Leonys Martin has nine dingers (a career high), 22 runs scored, 20 RBI and eight stolen bases. All of this production comes with a palatable .262/.339/.483 line. Matters have only become better as of late, as Martin has taken […]

Trayce Thompson (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Carl Crawford doesn't play against righties, and Enrique Hernandez has cooled off big time after a hot start, so Trayce Thompson has found himself plenty of playing time. The 25-year-old Thompson has delivered in his appearances thus far, with a season line of […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dodgers are promoting top prospect Julio Urias for Friday’s game against the Mets, and have announced that he will be taking the start away from Alex Wood, who is dealing with soreness in his triceps.

Week 8 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Last week’s buys were a mixed bag. Zack Greinke dominated the Cardinals, but Miguel Sano continued to scuffle. He’s still hitting the ball hard enough to anticipate better days ahead, though. On the sell side, Danny Salazar got knocked around by the Red Sox (no shame in that lately) and Adrian Gonzalez’s struggles continued. He […]
