BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off major shoulder surgery, it appears that all is going well for Devon Travis.

Mike, Mike, Mike, guess what day it is! Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Wednesday edition of rowdy FanDuel picks.

Mike Napoli (1B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Napoli has been a surprise this season. He's always had power, but he gets hurt a lot and is hitting in a weak Indians lineup. That being said, he's still a cleanup hitter and he's living up to the role. […]

Brandon Drury (3B/OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: At the beginning of the season it wasn't clear whether Brandon Drury would be an everyday player for the Arizona Diamondbacks. With a set outfield and the up-and-coming Jake Lamb manning third base, where did Drury fit into an improving offensive team? […]

Adam Duvall (OF, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: After coming to Cincinnati in a swap for Mike Leake (good call Cincy), Adam Duvall has made the Reds very optimistic in their return on investment. In just 169 AB total with the Reds this season and last, Duvall has already hit […]

Chase Utley (2B, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 7% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: For a guy who had a slash line of .212/.286/.343 all of last year, it is a bit of a shock that Chase Utley has been able to turn his work at the plate around especially while sporting the George Clooney […]

Howie Kendrick (2B/OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues Owned in: 25% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Howie Kendrick might be resembling Danny Glover nowadays, but at 32, he isn't yet "too old for this...stuff". While Kendrick has had a poor start to the year, especially in power hitting with a mere SLG of .213, he has been […]

Derek Norris (C, SDP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I met a traveller from an antique land,/Who said: "A vast and hopeless fake baseball team/Stands in the desert. Near them, on the sand,/Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,/And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,/Tell that its […]

Yan Gomes (C, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 59 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Catcher, as usual, is a barren wasteland for fantasy owners. So it is that one can, face straight but heart heavy, recommend a man hitting .179 as an option for your fake baseball team. That man is Yan Gomes, who has […]

Tyler Duffey (SP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Duffey acquitted himself well as a rookie last season, going 5-1 with a 3.10 ERA in his 10 starts and striking out nearly a batter per inning. Despite that, he opened the season at Triple-A. When Kyle Gibson (shoulder) and Tommy […]

Jonathan Villar (3B/SS, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 57 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: With Dee Gordon suspended, Delino DeShields demoted to Triple-A, and Billy Hamilton still very bad at hitting, it's been tough sledding for some of the most widely drafted speedsters. The emergence of Jonathan Villar, then, has been rather timely for fantasy owners. […]

I continue to be very impressed by the way Brandon Drury has played to open up this season. He is batting .298/.323/.532 with six home runs and has been a major boost to many fantasy teams so far. Other players too like Corey Seager and Nomar Mazara have really helped owners to stay one step ahead […]

Brett Lawrie (2B/3B, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Brett Lawrie has been the poster boy for unfulfilled promises since breaking in with Toronto in 2011. He may never be the All Star-caliber player he was expected to be, but he is still a serviceable fantasy player. The former first-round pick posted career […]

Kevin Gausman (SP/RP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore has been waiting on acclaimed pitching prospects Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy to match the production of their star hitters. It appears Gausman is ready to deliver on that promise. Although he has yet to win a game, Gausman has delivered three quality […]

Evan Gattis (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Evan Gattis started the year on the disabled list, recovering from a hernia.

Mallex Smith (OF, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-only leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Mallex Smith is gradually adjusting to big league pitching and it is reflecting in his stats. Given the chance to start early in the year due to Ender Inciarte's hamstring injury, Smith has held down center field ever since. At the end of April, he […]
