Happy Friday, my fellow fantasy addicts.

Week 25 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers
I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by 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 […]
