Anthony DeSclafani (CIN, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51 Percent of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're reading this, stop. Open up another tab and check if Anthony DeSclafani is on your waiver wire. If he is, add him. Unless you're playing in an incredibly shallow league, DeSclafani likely has the highest upside of any pitcher on your waiver wire. Don't […]

Batting Bargains of the First Half

While nobody will argue that the desired final end point to the marathon that is the grueling fantasy baseball season is staking claim to a league championship, veterans of this fair game relish a few other nuances of the grind along the way. There's the smug feeling of besting a rival in a trade, the nightly […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Bruce, Polanco, and Myers

Over the last two weeks, we have profiled expensive draft day assets who have largely failed to live up to the hype. This week, we change it up a bit by discussing established players who have exceeded expectations thus far. All three have experienced success before. Jay Bruce was once a feared slugger. Gregory Polanco […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/10/16): MLB DFS Advice

It is going to be an interesting slate today. The Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies are playing later, so FanDuel is attempting to avoid that. Due to the above mentioned avoidance, this article will also ignore any games past 2:15 PM EST. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Shortstops

If you came to me eight years ago and asked about the depth at shortstop, I would tell you that aside from a few stud prospects, the shortstop position did not look great. There weren’t a lot of impact bats and there were mostly just some slick defenders at the position. Now all of that […]

Raisel Iglesias (SP/RP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It's safe to say this season hasn't gone according to plan for Raisel Iglesias and his fantasy owners. One of the buzziest names in baseball during draft season, Iglesias made only five starts before landing on the disabled list with […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It's Week 14 of the season and it's also the final full week before the All-Star Break. I think the All-Star catcher of the waiver wire would be J.T. Realmuto.

Tony Cingrani (RP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 34% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: While the jokes about the Cincinnati Reds and their awful bullpen are funny and ring true, fantasy baseball managers should stop applying them to Tony Cingrani.
