We’re back from the break and are now in full category management mode in roto leagues. Look at where you need to gain and start to hack away at it however possible. Some of the studs we’ve missed for some time will slowly start to work their way back, starting with Carlos Correa this week […]

From the Gut – Catching us by Surprise
As we enjoy a couple days of rest from baseball and gather strength for the second half, thought it’d be worthwhile to review a surprisingly fun position that has long been abysmal. Catchers have been anything but a trouble spot for fantasy owners this season. There have been a multitude of viable options for two-catcher leagues […]
Vlad’s FAAB Values – Week 16
The timing of the All-Star break is perfect and good for us all – both players and fantasy managers. It gives us an opportunity to refresh and prepare to focus after a grueling three months and gives the players a chance to regroup and hit the second half healthier. We’ve been grinding for 15 weeks […]
From the Gut – Second Half Hitters to Target
Figuring out which hitters should improve and have strong second halves is not as easy as just looking to see who struggled in the first half. Oftentimes, someone who hasn’t been hitting his typical season pace has had some sort of injury affecting their performance and that’s a theme you’ll note below, minus a couple […]
Vlad’s FAAB Values – Week 15
Welcome to the weekly Free Agent Acquisition Bidding/Budget (FAAB) column where my goal is to have you confidently prepared to acquire the hitters and pitchers off free agency or waivers to make your team better. Like most everything else in life, you get out what you put in. Those quickly slapping one- and two-dollar bids […]
From the Gut – Lucky or Unlucky? xFIP Lives
Predicting starting pitcher performance has always been a tough task in fantasy, whether projecting for the season or from start to start. Elite arms like Max Scherzer are more predictable – especially in a matchup against a weak offense – but a guy like Scherzer is usually a set-and-forget scenario if you own him. We’re […]
Vlad’s FAAB Values – Week 14
SUNDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE Pitchers to Consider for deeper leagues Vincent Velasquez (RH/PHI) – Had somewhat of an audition to get his rotation spot earlier this week, and passed (just one hit allowed in 5 IP). Gets the Marlins again this week, then a tougher one @ ATL next week Logan Allen (LH/SDP) – Threw seven […]
From the Gut – Power
Power. Do your fantasy teams have enough of it? Home runs is a category that many of my fantasy teams seem to be struggling with. I’d like to solely blame Giancarlo Stanton for getting hurt in the first week of the season but the only one I can blame is myself for not seeing […]
Vlad’s FAAB Values – Week 13
Welcome to the weekly Free Agent Acquisition Bidding/Budget (FAAB) column where my goal is to have you confidently prepared to acquire the hitters and pitchers off free agency or waivers to make your team better. Like most everything else in life, you get out what you put in. Those quickly slapping one- and two-dollar bids […]
From the Gut – Marching Towards the Break
With just 3.5 weeks remaining until the All-Star Break, wanted to run through and look at each team’s remaining series’ and schedules over the next three weeks. The goal here is to help us potentially plan out some of our lineups in advance and to possibly identify hitters we may want to target off […]
