Points Leagues (H2H) Waiver Wire Adds and Streamers - Week 26

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 26) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 26, 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 […]

Francisco Cervelli Leaves With Stomach Pain

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (stomach) left the game early on Friday with gastrointestinal discomfort. Cervelli had a hit and run scored in two plate appearances before leaving. The backstop has missed time with concussions this year, so thankfully this is something that should have him back in the lineup soon. Cervelli is batting .256/.376/.419 […]

Kevan Smith Drives In Three Runs

Chicago White Sox catcher/designated hitter Kevan Smith drove in three runs on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs. Smith finished the game 2-for-2 with a pair of runs scored. Smith doesn’t get enough at-bats to make an impact in fantasy leagues, but is now hitting .297 with 19 RBI.

Welington Castillo Picks Up Three Hits Versus Cubs

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo picked up three hits on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs in five at-bats. Castillo had a nice day versus his former club and also scored a pair of runs. Castillo is now hitting .255 on the season with six home runs and 15 RBI.

Gary Sanchez Sitting Out on Friday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Sanchez will get a routine rest day on Friday, but should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Austin Romine will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate versus righty Yefry Ramirez. Romine […]

Willians Astudillo (C, MIN) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Bartolo Colon at least theoretically nearing the end of his career, there's an opening for a hefty baseball man to capture the hearts and minds of the Internet. Willians Astudillo could be that man. The Twins' backstop has hit well thus far since […]

Danny Jansen Crushes Second Homer In Three Games

Toronto Blue Jays rookie catcher Danny Jansen smacked a three-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning during Thursday's 9-8 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. That was Jansen's only hit of the contest. The 23-year-old has two homers and five RBI in his past three games. Jansen was a productive hitter in the […]

Martin Maldonado Has One Extra-Base Hit In Last 48 At-Bats

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado is hitting .241 in the month of September heading into Friday night's action. Maldonado is slugging .443 in 35 games since being acquired from the Angels via trade but has only one extra-base hit over his last 48 at-bats. The Astros now have Brian McCann back in the fold but […]

Brian McCann Hitting .200 Since Return

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is hitting only .200 in nine games since returning to the lineup from knee surgery. The veteran slugger has driven in three runs and has more walks (six) than hits (four) through 26 plate appearances. The good news is McCann appears to be healthy heading into the playoffs. The bad […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/21/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The Cubs have returned to their regular schedule of playing in the afternoon on Fridays, so we're back to a 14 game Main slate - but it's an attractive one! We've got a number of household names on the bump and a lot of important baseball to be played still (tight division races!), so tonight […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/21/18): MLB DFS Lineups

With the battle for Chicago taking place at 4:10pm EST, we won’t have a full 15-game slate on Friday night for DraftKings. However, 14 games is still a full player pool to work with when constructing a lineup. Three games have an over/under of at least nine total runs, with the SEA/TEX matchup leading the […]

Week 26 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 […]

Max Domi Suspended For Rest Of Preseason

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Domi has been suspended for the remainder of the preseason following a roughing incident in Wednesday night's game against Florida. Domi, playing in his first game with his new organization, punched unsuspecting opponent Aaron Ekblad and was consequently ejected from the game with a match penalty. The Winnipeg native was acquired […]

We've got just one slate on DraftKings tonight, but covers seven games being played, giving us lots of different lineup possibilities. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/20/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value […]

Banger League Beauties - Productive Players That Pile Up Hits

Most of the focus in fantasy hockey goes to the marquee names that show up in highlight reels. The goal scorers, the playmakers, the kinds of players that keep opposing goalies up at night. These are the types of players that will go in the early rounds of drafts, and rightfully so, but with all […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 25)

In this week's Rookie Report, we'll be taking a look at several catchers making an impact in fantasy this month. Francisco Mejia made a splash in his first start for the Padres, hitting his first and second career home runs while driving in four in the 6-2 win over the Reds. While Mejia may have […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 25: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 25 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. We have somehow blown by into mid-September, which means the homestretch of 2018 is upon us. Most fantasy baseball leagues have already had their trade […]

Manny Pina Homers Wednesday Versus Cincinnati

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina made a rare offensive contribution Wednesday versus the Reds. He would provide a three-run homer to add three more insurance runs. The three runs would finish the scoring in a 7-0 victory. Pina carries a .249 batting average with nine HR, 37 runs scored and 26 RBI on the season. […]

Devin Mesoraco To Play Friday

New York Mets catcher Devin Mesoraco (neck) will catch starting pitcher Jacob deGrom on Friday, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Mesoraco hasn't played since Sept. 3 and is hitting just .213/.295/.374 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI on the season. He's not worth your attention in fantasy to close out the year.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/20/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a smaller seven-game slate, where there is one clear top pitching option that you want to pay up for. This leaves plenty of space in tournaments if you choose to pay down since you will have extra salary available. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks […]

Chance Sisco Won't Go On Road Trip

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (concussion) will not travel with the team unless he's cleared from the concussion protocol. With Baltimore having nothing to play for, it doesn't make sense for them to rush their young catcher back. Sisco is hitting just .181/.288/.269 with two home runs and 16 RBI in 160 at-bats for Baltimore […]

Austin Romine Available Off Bench

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine (neck) was unavailable on Tuesday after he woke up with stiffness in his neck. However, he's feeling better on Wednesday and is expected to be available off the bench. Romine was a decent fill-in for Gary Sanchez when he was injured earlier this year, and he has hit .248/.302/.430 […]

Wilson Ramos Back in the Lineup on Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Ramos was given an off day on Tuesday, but is refreshed and ready to go on Wednesday. He'll bat fifth and draw the start behind the plate against righty Noah Syndergaard. Ramos has hit well against […]

Welington Castillo Scratched With Elbow Soreness

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo (elbow) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday due to left elbow soreness. Kevan Smith will replace him behind the dish and hit seventh against Indians starter Carlos Carrasco. Smith isn't much of a hitter and should be avoided in DFS formats in a bad matchup. It's […]

Ty Dellandrea Signs Three-Year Deal With Dallas

Dallas Stars forward prospect Ty Dellandrea signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the team on Wednesday. Dellandrea, the 13th overall pick in this summer's draft, is coming off a 59-point (27 goals, 32 assists) campaign with the Flint Firebirds of the Ontario Hockey League in 2017-2018. The 18-year-old center is projected as a potential top-six […]

Sam Reinhart Signs Two-Year Deal With Buffalo

The Buffalo Sabres signed restricted free-agent forward Sam Reinhart to a two-year, $7.3 million ($3.65 million annual average value) contract on Wednesday. The 2014, second overall draft pick posted a career-best 50 points (25 goals, 25 assists) last season. In addition, Reinhart also set career-highs in penalty minutes (26), power play points (21), power play […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/19/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got a pretty health slate of games on deck tonight for the 7:05 Main slate, which consists of 10 games. It features a few upper tier pitchers and quite a few with a strikeout projection of six or more, which should add some spice to tournament selection. As it's customary at this point, let's […]
