Gut Note: This article was written on Friday night and will be published much earlier than usual, on Saturday morning, as I’ll be traveling on Saturday. News, transactions and injuries often hit so quickly and furiously on Saturday mornings that 25% of this column will need to be adjusted by the time I’m back at the computer in the evening. Nevertheless, I’ll do just that on Saturday night, then I’ll do it again with my 8 p.m. ET Sunday Update.
The most important players to track this weekend are Joey Loperfido, Tyler Black, Ben Rice, Garrett Mitchell, Michael Massey, John Brebbia, the Cubs bullpen, Freddy Fermin and Spencer Horwitz. Weekend results and playing time (or lack thereof) will have a direct impact on their bid ranges.
Welcome to FTN’s weekly free agent bidding (FAAB) strategy column, Trust the Gut.
This article will be published every Saturday during the fantasy baseball season. The addendum to Trust the Gut is released on Sundays, at least two hours before NFBC’s 10 p.m. ET deadline.
Roster% refers to the percentage in which players are currently rostered within 15-team (NFBC Main Event) and 12-team (Online Championship) leagues. These are competitive national contests with overall prize components.
