BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: From the surface, it looks as if Joey Votto is having his worst season in fifteen years with the Cincinnati Reds, although his heavily decorated career sets a pretty high standard.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Akil Baddoo was one of the most popular adds in fantasy baseball during the first two weeks of the season, but when his hot start fizzled out, most managers moved on.

Abraham Toro (3B, HOU) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Besides having an 80-grade name, Abraham Toro has generally hit well as a prospect. The major league results weren't there in his first couple of cracks at it, but those two stints covered a mere 186 plate appearances. Thus far in 2021, he's looked […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: C.J. Cron's fantasy stock skyrocketed after the Rockies signed him and made him their cleanup hitter.

Erik Jones Not a Good Idea for DFS at Pocono

Erik Jones started 22nd on Saturday at Pocono and that is just where he ended after 130 laps. It has been a bit of a theme lately.

Austin Dillon starts from the 21st position on Sunday for the 140-lap race. Things looked promising when he had some speed and clean air.

Chris Buescher Starts from Pole on Sunday at Pocono

How fast does Chris Buescher drop from the pole is the main question. However, could he lead a few laps before he does? The Roush Fenway Racing driver kept falling behind from about the midway point of the race on. Every time he caught up a bit, Buescher just seemed to miss the groove or […]
