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 me telling you that when Jacob deGrom is starting twice, a 1,000-word soliloquy highlighting why it’s a good idea to start him. You just do […]

Week 7 fantasy baseball FAAB check-in
We finally might see the fantasy baseball FAAB market settle down a bit this weekend. 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. […]

Week 6 fantasy baseball FAAB check-in
The first month of the baseball season is in the rearview mirror. With five months remaining, we are seeing a lower average in the remaining FAAB budget than in previous seasons when heading into May.
