Catcher Waiver Wire Targets for Fantasy Baseball: ROS Strategy and Landscape

Every year we hear about how awful the catcher landscape is in fantasy baseball. People bemoan having to roster one and laugh at those who play in leagues where they have to carry two. However, catchers are people too. OK, we're actually not going to go down that road this time. Instead, we're going to […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 9

As we enter June, it definitely is starting to feel like summer. This is when some of the bats start to kick in, although the new dead ball is certainly doing its best to suppress offense (great idea, Manfred!). Power and average have been harder to find on fantasy waiver wires but it has also […]

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia had a rough time at the plate in Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. The 29-year-old has been a disappointment, slashing .227/.266/.423 over 49 games. Garcia is worth a shot for fantasy managers in AL-only leagues, as he could be a source of power […]

Will These Big-Name Hitters Turn it Around? Curse of the 2022 Free Agent Class

The 2022 offseason gave us one of the biggest free-agent classes in recent memory. So many big names moved around and gave us so many questions as to what these moves meant for fantasy. Unfortunately, for the most part, those moves have led to pretty underwhelming starts to the 2022 season. For whatever reason, a […]
