It’s never too early to look toward your next matchup and a chance to bolster your fantasy football lineups. Here are two options to consider on the waiver wire ahead of Week 10. Jeff Wilson Jr., RB, Miami Dolphins (51 percent rostered) Wilson has steadily climbed above the 50 percent threshold, but it’s still worth checking to see if he’s available in your league, as this is definitely last call for the running back. Wilson split carries right down the middle with incumbent Miami starter Source link

Many potential fantasy waiver wire gems emerge during the initial weeks of every season. This year, I constantly see recommendations to pick up the likes of Steven Kwan, Tylor Megill, Jesus Luzardo and many other players who started the season on waivers in most leagues before producing inspiring April statistics. Unfortunately, rosters don’t grow in size after Opening Day, and every addition means that someone needs to go. Based on early season numbers, here are some commonly-rostered… Source link

Special to Yahoo Sports Writing this column after the fantasy football massacre that was Week 15 isn’t easy, but I’ll do my best to sort through what went down in order to best prepare you for Week 16. Hopefully, some of you made it through last week’s debacle and get a fresh slate for this next round. Rosters still need to be trimmed of all the fat and what-ifs so they are streamlined for success over these next few weeks. Below is a look at some players who can be dropped and sent… Source link

In May, the Biden administration reversed course and decided to back the idea of waiving intellectual property protections for COVID-19 vaccines. The move was meant to ensure more of the world can become inoculated. “Extraordinary circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures,” U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said at the time. David Ricks, CEO of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly (LLY), told Yahoo Finance that “this is a counterproductive move.” “It just… Source link

Let’s take a look around the league, quick hitter style: • Adolis Garcia homered again Tuesday, giving him a whopping 15 on the year. His Statcast numbers back up his strong start, and he’s also running (five steals). Garcia went undrafted across all leagues in NFBC’s Main Event, yet he’s been a top-10 fantasy player so far this season. Remarkable. His 46/8 K/BB ratio suggests batting average could be a problem moving forward, but Garcia has been as good as waiver wire pickups can… Source link

We all left our March drafts thinking that we had the starting point of a championship roster. Two months later, some of us have proven to be right while others were dead wrong. This article is dedicated to those in 8th place. Or 10th place. Or even 12th place! Things haven’t gone well, and you’re thinking of giving up. After all, football draft season is just a couple months away and there’s no sense in wasting even more time on a losing fantasy baseball team, right? Wrong!!! Dead… Source link

With so many fantasy baseball teams to my name, I regularly navigate the waiver wire on a wide variety of websites. And in all honesty, I find player searches on the Yahoo wire to be as good as that of any platform. Here is my process for finding a free agent gem in the Yahoo system. To be clear, I do ALL of these sorts before choosing someone to add. When I need a hitter 1. Sort by at-bats in the past seven days. In mixed leagues, rostered players should be in the lineup most days. 2. Sort by… Source link

While I typically write articles giving micro-level advice on which players to add via trade or free agency, I have lately been dabbling in process-related pieces. This is another in that series, which includes recent pieces on how I evaluate hitters and pitchers. For this article, I’m going to cover a typical 24 hour-span and how I manage my teams. Most of my teams are in leagues with weekly roster transactions. The exception is the Yahoo Friends & Family league, which has constant waivers… Source link

Last week I discussed my process for adding free-agent hitters. If you thought that process was confusing just wait until we dive in on pitchers. With hurlers, there is constantly a sample-size issue. Luck sometimes plays a major factor in the ERA and WHIP for relievers who throw just one inning per appearance. And with starters pitching just once every 5-6 days, we need several weeks before seeing a consistent trend. But we can’t wait weeks to add interesting pitchers, or else the rest of… Source link
