Week 24 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

We're in the final weeks of the fantasy baseball season and there's really no time to dilly-dally anymore. The waiver wire is rather thin and we also have to be cognizant that ownership rates are thrown a bit by many inactive owners who have thrown in the towel on 2017. That said, we at RotoBaller […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

So, you’ve survived the “day of days” and now you’re looking for something, anything, to grab onto.

While we still have the Monday Night doubleheader to deal with, there's plenty to sort […]

Week 23 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

With less than a month remaining in the fantasy baseball season, this is the time to be brutally honest with yourself about what your team needs to do. Break out the abacus and crunch every last number if you need to, but be sure you address your needs. Whether you need wins, ratios or strikeouts […]

Power Risers and Fallers for Week 22: Buy or Sell?

Welcome back to this investigative piece where we examine players who have seen some notable changes in their power profiles -- for better or for worse -- in 2017. As usual, you don’t need me to tell you that Miguel Sano or Aaron Judge is strong or that Jarrod Dyson and Billy Hamilton are toward the bottom in average exit velocity. Nothing is going […]

Week 22 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

And just like that, we’ve got one lone month remaining in the fantasy baseball season. It feels like just yesterday that we were sorting through the chaos of the homer spike with what was sure to be an April outlier -- only it continued anyway! 2017 has been a rough year for pitching, between the […]

Week 21 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs? The end of the fantasy baseball season is near, with many folks starting to shift their attention to football and allowing some sneaky names to slip through the waiver wire’s cracks.

Nick Mariano's PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. It'd be nice if we could avoid the word "sleeper" because it feels as though it has lost its meaning over the years, but SEO practices and the language of the fantasy landscape demands it. I believe it's important for each article to spell out […]

Week 20 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

The middle of August has come and gone, leaving us with just a month and a half of baseball between now and the moment where fantasy baseball champions are crowned.

Week 19 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Let’s face it, you can sense the end of the season creeping up on us. The non-waiver Trade Deadline feels like the last hurrah of big moments before all of our horses start to enter that final bend before the home stretch. Of course, most of us still have our own leagues’ trade deadlines to […]

Week 18 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

The Trade Deadline has come and gone, with the final third of the regular season bringing plenty of prospects and rehabbing arms back into our lives. Of course, it seems like every gift we receive demands a sacrifice of at least two other players at the altar of the 10-day disabled list. Still, we press […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Trade Deadline madness is in full swing and the next time we speak, all of the shaking and moving will have taken place. It's not the worst idea to jump ahead of the curve and make a short-term stash of key prospects and free-agents-to-be who could find themselves in more favorable conditions shortly. I try […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

We’re wading into the second half here with the Midsummer Classic in the rearview mirror, and the waiver wire isn’t all that spectacular.
