Week 11 fantasy baseball FAAB check-in
Two months down with a little less than four to go. Remember, fantasy baseball is a sprint, not a marathon. Even if you’re down a bit in your league standings, it’s best to stay strict with your FAAB process. Making moves just to make them isn’t a useful tool.

Following an impressive start to the Matt Nagy era in 2018, the Chicago Bears have taken a bit of a step back over the last two seasons.
