The Double Dip: Fantasy baseball 2-start pitchers for the week
We’re back again for this week’s fantasy baseball Double Dip — highlighting pitchers making two starts in a week. Some of the plays may be obvious — you don’t need a 1,000-word soliloquy highlighting why it’s a good idea to start Jacob deGrom twice. You just do it.  But volume is key, especially two-start-pitcher volume. […]

Scouring the news to get information on injured players could help you find somebody returning after the break who has long-term value. Another tactic is to maximize your pitching […]

You’ll notice that the math regarding remaining budgets has to start forcing managers to bid less than we have witnessed during the first half of FAAB. Sure, there will always be outliers due to a leaguemate or two that has been hoarding […]

Week 13 fantasy baseball FAAB check-in
This baseball season is setting historic marks when it comes to injuries in fantasy baseball. With the All-Star game occurring in mid-July, you’ll likely see a lot of estimated returns for players who are currently injured with an ETA right after the break due to the extra days off.

Week 12 fantasy baseball FAAB check-in
We’re now in Week 12 out of the 26 weeks for FAAB in fantasy baseball. FAAB budgets on average are lower than we’re accustomed to in previous full seasons. With that you’ll notice more one- or two-dollar bids rather than three to five dollars. It doesn’t seem like there is a player available this weekend […]

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. Trimming away average/fringe players that are […]

There are always viable options to be added but the cost of the players likely won’t be as extreme as in previous weeks. Every week we have seen at least one player receive bids north of $100 in multiple leagues. […]
