Many of us often forget what a small bubble fantasy football Twitter is. There are certainly even folks reading this who aren’t active there and don’t have the time to scroll and keep up with all the takes. According to a FSGA study in 2021, over 40 million individuals in the United States play fantasy […]

There’s a reason gambling lines list starting pitchers next to the odds and totals for baseball games, and books take games off the board when starting pitchers get scratched. Pitchers dictate the context of the matchup and have a larger impact on each possible individual event (ball, strike, foul ball, ball in play) than any hitter […]

SUNDAY UPDATE A few starting pitchers to add to the 15-team mix: Huascar Ynoa, Atlanta Braves There is going to be some action on Ynoa but I’m hardly bullish. It will still take an injury to one of their five starters for Ynoa to slide into the rotation. Ian Anderson (who has been awfully inconsistent) […]

One of the most popular mid-stakes national fantasy football contests out there is NFFC’s RotoWire Online Championship (OC). It’s a 12-team redraft that utilizes PPR scoring and a couple other unique features: third-round reversal and KDS.    Third-round reversal simply changes the direction of the snake draft after the second round (person picking 1.01/2.12 gets […]

  SUNDAY UPDATE Most of our updates are on the hitting side today. Here are the notable hitters worth considering in 15-team formats who did not make the original column: Jarred Kelenic (OF/SEA)  Lewin Díaz (1B/MIA) Paul DeJong (SS/STL) Josh Smith (SS/3B, TEX) Jarred Kelenic had been playing well in Triple-A Tacoma, though not exactly […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Hitters Cardinals — Remove Juan Yepez from bid groups unless you’d like to stash him for at least a week. He won’t be back when first eligible. Perhaps later in the week or early next week. Make sure you have replacements for both Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado for the first half of […]

We resume the 2022 MLB season with about 45 percent to go – plenty of time to make moves in your league standings and do some damage. There will certainly be plenty of first-half studs who continue their success and others who slow down or get outright injured. At the same time, we should expect […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Starting Pitchers Chris Sale (LHP, BOS) fractured his pinkie and is essentially one-and-done. Timeline for return could be anywhere from two-to-three months. Sad for those who held him for so long, but he’s an easy drop. Probably saved some of you FAAB money (those who were looking to bid where he was available).  […]

SUNDAY UPDATE A reminder that CLE, KC, CHW, DET all play eight games this week, five in the first half of the week. A good period to rack up some plus at-bats (or so we hope) with hitters we may be able to add in FAAB: Steven Kwan, Franmil Reyes, Owen Miller, Nolan Jones, Edward […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Nothing has changed as it’s still Vinnie P and Hall Week. Let’s see if Hall crushes another bomb on Sunday Night Baseball and sees his market rate increase further.  Pitchers Frankie Montas (OAK) was removed from his start today in the first inning with fastball velocity a few mph lower. No word yet […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Pivotal FAAB weekend for a couple of reasons. The MLB rule capping pitchers on rosters to 13 goes into effect tomorrow which means we might see some key hitters promoted. Moreover, there were notable injuries to a few important hitters over the weekend (Mookie Betts, Yordan Alvarez, Manny Machado, Tyler O’Neill) which could […]

SUNDAY UPDATE The starting pitching landscape got considerably worse this weekend for a variety of reasons. Again, if you are questioning whether someone is a good streamer this week, chances are they probably are not.  Starting Pitchers Lance Lynn / Johnny Cueto / Michael Kopech, Chicago White Sox Lynn is back and will start Monday’s […]
