DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/4/16): MLB DFS Advice

Happy 4th of July, RotoBallers! Enjoy that freedom today, and be safe with all your loud obnoxious fireworks. As President Thomas Whitmore (portrayed by Bill Pullman) once said, "Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- […]

Top Hitter Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 14

Whether it’s because of an injury or poor performance, there are always opportunities to stream players off the waiver wire. The best players to stream are those who are under-owned and face appealing match-ups for the upcoming week. Here are five players who are readily available in Fleaflicker leagues and have attractive match-ups during the […]

Top 450: Rest Of Season Fantasy Baseball Rankings

Fellow RotoBallers. The MLB All-Star Break is creeping up on us... time flies when you're having fun. With that comes the second half of the fantasy baseball season, and the eventual stretch run (for most leagues). We are here to help you dominate your leagues when it counts most. Today we are bringing you our […]

Poetry in Motion: The Revelation of Will Harris

Will Harris is the next Dennis Eckersley. Actually, Eckersley had a decent career as a starter before turning into a dominant closer at age 32. But you get the idea. Harris's sudden emergence has been quite the surprise. If you saw this coming, maybe you should be playing the stock market instead of fantasy sports. […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 13)

For the second consecutive week, a couple of prospects made headlines with promotions to the big leagues. First baseman A.J. Reed debuted for the Houston Astros on Saturday. The New York Mets promoted outfielder Brandon Nimmo in the wake of Michael Conforto’s demotion to Triple-A. And lastly the Pirates promoted two prospects: pitcher Chad Kuhl and shortstop […]

Ryan Buchter (RP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Buchter is not your run-in-the-mill closer. He is a 29-year-old rookie with 35 career innings under his belt. But with Fernando Rodney being shipped off to South Beach, the Padres are likely to turn to Buchter for ninth-inning duties. Buchter failed to reach […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13 (National League)

As we head toward the All-Star break, it's time to evaluate some players who may be headed for a turn-around in the second half of the season. This list represents players who haven't yet garnered a great deal of attention in mixed-leagues, streaming options suitable only for deeper leagues or category specialists who may fill […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We're in Week 13 of the season. Yes, there are people out there who are superstitious and think that 13 is an unlucky number. Surveying this group of catchers, it does seem like Jason Vorhees carved out a bloody swath. The victims include people like Francisco Cervelli, who has been bouncing on and off the […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield

This week's list is composed of one riser, one faller, one returning from the DL and one just making his big league debut. It's a fine cast of characters who have been marginalized to the fringe of fantasy relevance. Most fantasy owners take note of the risers; that is, they check the waiver wire for […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Derek Norris's slash line of .210/.265/.388 certainly won't blow anyone away, but the San Diego backstop has plenty of encouraging statistics from this season. First off he has hit ten HR and stolen three bases in 224 AB for an isolated power […]

Melvin Upton Jr. (OF, SDP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: While his ownership rate is finally trending up, the mind fairly boggles at how slow the fantasy community has been to embrace the Melvin Upton Jr. (née Bossman) renaissance. Yes, he was abysmal in two seasons with the Braves, but he […]

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 13

When preparing the Dynasty Review, I always begin by checking in on my picks from the previous week. The big prediction was the promotion of Brandon Nimmo. I can't take much credit for that one. There were already grumbles about Michael Conforto's impending demotion. I don't expect any rapid call ups from this week's crew. I […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/26/16): MLB DFS Advice

The theme for today is big name pitchers. With the likes of Clayton Kershaw, Johnny Cueto, Jose Fernandez, and Chris Sale on the mound, there's no shortage of aces to choose from.

Poetry in Motion: The Breakout of Wil Myers

Wil Myers not only belongs in the All-Star game, he is one of the top three first baseman in the National League. I won't put him ahead of Paul Goldschmidt or Anthony Rizzo just yet, but if you look at fantasy rankings on any site, you have no choice but to agree. Myers has long […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/23/16): MLB DFS Advice

I'll tell you what, most days I wake up wishing I was an MLB player. This morning, I'm just glad that I'm no Michael Taylor. Five strikeouts and the game-ending error on a ground ball under his glove in center field. Ouch. With a fairly split day today, we have two slates to potentially worry […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We're in Week 12 of the season. A dozen. Wow. It's actually appropriate that we're at this number since only 12 catchers are at 70% or higher ownership in Fleaflicker. Then the dropoff is steep... with the next one at 46%. Yikes. The thing is, aside from people like Jonathan Lucroy, Salvador Perez, and Wilson […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you forget that April or May happened, Derek Norris is one of the top fantasy options at the catcher position in all of baseball.
