Trust the Gut: Fantasy Baseball FAAB Guide Week 8
SUNDAY UPDATE The big FAAB prize of the week (Nolan Gorman) had an excellent day at the plate on Sunday going 3-for-5 with three runs and an RBI. It will be difficult to earn his fantasy services for double-digits just about anywhere but it’s likely some of those will squeak through in 12-team formats. The […]

Trust the Gut: Fantasy Baseball FAAB Guide Week 7
SUNDAY UPDATE It’s basically George Kirby Day with insane amount of FAAB projected to be spent on him. It will likely take more than $250 in most 15-teamers to get him (and possibly in 12s as well). Don’t believe his mediocre outing against the Mets will lower bid prices on him much. I still do […]
