Like last season, Max and I will be splitting the AL/NL Digging Deeper series every other week, so you can expect one of us to give this article a whirl every […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open! Primary shoppers: Eugenio Suarez owners, Jake Lamb owners, Wil Myers owners, Justin Turner owners, and Greg Bird owners. The selection of players on the waiver wire could not persuade you into thinking you were shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue. More likely, you are searching through outlet store type players. In most cases, […]

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 2, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 2

It’s Week 2 for your fantasy baseball leagues in 2018 and the starting pitcher streamer list is still hard to judge, at first glance. That’s why we’re here, at RotoBaller, to breakdown the pitching matchups and determine who could put your team over-the-top and earn the win. Last week, we used the ownership percentages from […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 1 and the start of the baseball season.

It’s the beginning of April and you know what that means! It’s fantasy baseball season and it’s time to overreact to everything! Step out of the fantasy football mindset that may still have its hold on you and remember that while each day does matter, this is a marathon and not a sprint. As is […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open. The season has officially begun and managers are already ravaging through the waiver wire for various reasons. First base and third base are generally the best spots to look to improve your team’s power. In most cases, it is preferable that it includes a decent average but that isn’t always […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

The 2018 season is finally upon us, which means it's time to start overreacting to insanely small samples! Well, no – don't actually do that. As a rule, you shouldn't be making any drastic decisions at a time when Matt Davidson is tied for the league lead in home runs. But that doesn't mean you […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 1

The opening week of the MLB season runs a little longer than the typical two-start pitcher fantasy timetable, but the importance of boosting your pitching stats is still substantial. Unfortunately, with aces taking the hill on Thursday and Friday to start the year, we're stuck with lower tier arms in the first official two-start week. […]

Digging Deeper - Week 1 Waiver Wire Targets

We are here, fantasy baseball enthusiasts! As things get underway, this is a great time to overreact and propose Matt Davidson for Felipe Rivero and Brad Hand because closers are fickle beasts. Don't forget to cut Trea Turner because Dave Martinez likes his speed in the 6-hole. I kid, I kid. Welcome to Digging Deeper. […]

The Closer Carousel Turns (Already?) - How to Approach Boxberger, Kela, Strickland

We already knew that the closer position was the most volatile in baseball, but this is getting ridiculous. Three would-be closers have been displaced days before the season even starts, one by injury and two by manager decision. In 5x5 roto leagues, owning one of these volatile assets is a necessary evil. Throwing out FAAB […]
