Week 9 Waiver Wire: Deep Points Leagues

Ben Ruppert recommends some waiver wire adds at each position for deep points leagues. These are your points leagues waiver wire pickups for Week 9.

Points leagues are a different beast compared to rotisserie leagues, as you are looking for someone who can fill the whole stat sheet, and when you can find some of those guys on the wire, they are golden.

Here are a few guys who can contribute in deep points leagues, one at each position to consider for the next week. These are your deep points leagues waiver wire pickups for Week 9. Let's get to it.

Note: All ownership percentages are courtesy of Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and resources:

 

Points League Deep Waiver Wire Adds - Week 9

C- Wilson Ramos, Tampa Bay Rays- 14% owned

Wilson Ramos was nearing the end of a breakout season in Washington before going down in September with a torn ACL. Before the injury he set career highs with 22 home runs and 80 RBI while slashing .307/.354/.496. In the offseason he signed with the Rays, and will be beginning a rehab assignment with them next week. He has been coming along quicker than expected, having already done some work behind the plate. He will also be getting some batting sessions in in the coming days. Due to the amount of time missed he will likely need several rehab games, but when he returns he is capable of putting up solid numbers from the catcher position. If you can afford to, stash him now.

 

1B- Lucas Duda, New York Mets- 7% owned

Lucas Duda returned to the Mets on May 12 after missing nearly a month with a hyperextended left elbow. Since his return he has hit .275/.442/.475, with a walk rate higher than his strikeout rate 21.2% vs. 19.2%). The power took a bit to return, but Duda has been red hot over the past four games. He has multiple hits in three of four games with four extra-base hits (one HR), seven RBI, and four runs scored. He still doesn’t start against lefties, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to fit him into your lineups. Now that he’s back and hitting well, he’s worth an add if you need some cheap power.

 

2B- Jed Lowrie, Oakland Athletics- 15% owned

Jed Lowrie has been on a tear for the A’s over the past week, and for the majority of the season for that matter. On the season he is hitting .310/.376/.500 with six HR and 29 runs scored consistently hitting near the top of the order. Currently he is riding a seven-game hitting streak, slashing .552/.567/.931 with seven XBH, seven runs scored, and seven RBI. Lowrie won’t provide you with any speed and little power, but if you need a middle infield option that can boost your average and run totals Lowrie is the perfect option. Ride him while he’s scorching hot at the plate.

 

3B- Wilmer Flores, New York Mets- 4% owned

Ever since Wilmer Flores returned to the Mets lineup on May 3, he has spent the majority of the time at third base though has made appearances at second and first base also. He has been hot at the plate, hitting .375/.407/.518 since his return with one HR and 11 RBI. His strikeout rate is down to 11.6% this season, and though he’s walking less he is making more contact in and out of the zone this season resulting in his hot start to the season. His positional flexibility makes him an attractive add as it is, but it becomes all that much better while he’s hot at the plate.

 

SS- Andrelton Simmons, Los Angeles Angels- 10% owned

Andrelton Simmons is doing things at the plate this season that we haven’t seen since his breakout sophomore campaign. On the season he is hitting .278/.335/.390 with four HR and four steals. The four HR match his total in 2015 and 2016. His walk and strikeout rates are trending in the right direction this season, and his BABIP of .294 isn’t much higher than his career average. Over the past two weeks Simmons has been especially hot, slashing .386/.410/.561 with a HR, six RBI, and two steals. He is hitting the ball harder than ever before this season, showing these results may be more than just a hot streak for Simmons. He could be in the running for a 15 HR, 15 steal season if he keeps up his improved approach at the plate.

 

OF- Kevin Kiermaier, Tampa Bay Rays- 17% owned

Kevin Kiermaier was on a lot of sleeper lists to begin the season, but fell flat coming out of the gate. He hit only .220/.304/.300 in April with one HR and three RBI. The disappointing start caused his ownership to plummet, though you should get back on the train now before it really gets going. Over the past two weeks he has picked things up, hitting .333/.393/.569 with three HR, eight RBI, and three steals. He was a 20-20 candidate heading into the season, and while that HR total may be out of reach a 15-30 season is still extremely useful in fantasy.

 

SP- Dinelson Lamet, San Diego Padres- 4% owned

Dinelson Lamet made his major league debut for the Padres on Thursday, lasting five innings allowing one run on three hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. He threw 61 of his 91 pitches for strikes, mixing in a fastball, slider, and a changeup. In eight Triple-A starts before his debut he held a 3.23 ERA with an 11.54 K/9 and a 4.62 BB/9. He has consistently held a K/9 over 10 in the minors, though walks have been an issue for him. If you are in a deeper points league he is worth a pickup to see if he can continue the successes of his first start. If not, cut him loose and shoot for the next rising prospect.

 

RP- Brad Peacock, Houston Astros- 17% owned

Brad Peacock has been a reliever for most of the season, but got his chance to start with Dallas Keuchel on the disabled list. Though his outing lasted only 4 1/3 innings as the Astros didn’t want to push him too far, he allowed only one hit with two walks and struck out eight. With Joe Musgrove and Mike Fiers struggling mightily this year, he may push management to give him a shot as a starter long term. For now he will likely shit back to the bullpen with Keuchel returning. Even in a bullpen role, he can be one of those pieces that provides some holds and great ratios.
