BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sandy Leon's not challenging Ted Williams anymore, but he's still hitting a robust .388 this season.

Derek Norris (CA/1B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derek Norris has slumped in July, seeing his average drop down below .200 again.

Yasmani Grandal (CA, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yasmani Grandal has been very disappointing average-wise, but if you have one need in your two-catcher league, it's power. He's got that. When he makes contact, the ball will fly over the fences more often than not. To boot, he's even […]

The second of two dynasty rankings for the outfield position, this list covers only American League outfielders.

Robbie Ray (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, no one can say that the guy doesn’t make for some exciting baseball.

Zach Davies (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Zach Davies continues to dazzle, making a strong Cubs lineup look like just another squad on Saturday. The breakout starter has posted a wonderful 51:11 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his last nine starts to go with a 2.35 ERA, so […]

Tommy Pham (OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tommy Pham received his first significant call up back in July of 2015 and immediately asserted himself as an important part of the Cardinals outfield.

Steve Pearce (1B/2B/OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Steve Pearce returned from a month-long stint on the DL last week,  and the performance has been spotty since his return. He's gone 6-for-24 with a dinger and four RBI. But Pearce has as much potential as anybody in a utility role. […]

David Dahl (OF, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In a surprising turn of events that shocked fans and analysts alike, top prospect David Dahl has been called up to the big leagues by the Colorado Rockies.

Wilmer Flores (1B/2B/3B/SS, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Wilmer Flores doesn’t play every day, but he’s eligible at every infield position save catcher and provides plenty of pop when he does see the field. Despite logging only 50 at-bats in July, the 24-year-old Swiss Army knife has hit seven […]

Cheslor Cuthbert (3B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cheslor Cuthbert has acquitted himself rather well during his rookie year. He’s currently hitting .296/.328/.457 with nine homers and 61 R+RBI despite hitting primarily in the bottom third of the order. He was recently bumped up to the two-hole and has […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lonnie Chisenhall hasn’t developed into the star the Tribe hoped they were getting when he was drafted in the first round of the 2008 amateur draft, but he’s been a solid contributor to their best team since that time. He’s hitting […]

Ryan Schimpf (2B/3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Schimpf’s nine home runs over the last month are the most in MLB (tied with Mark Trumbo, who last weekend became the first player to reach the 30-homer plateau in 2016). The 28-year-old had always shown impressive pop in the […]

Primarily known for his run blocking, […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/27/16): MLB DFS Advice

The pricing on FanDuel seems to be a bit questionable. Guys are extremely cheap, and it's fairly easy to construct a great lineup.
