There were 10 MLB games played on Monday, May 6, and now it’s time to go over the top hitting and pitching performances from the day.
The most redeeming part of the long baseball season is that games are different from day to day. Most NBA games will follow the same formula, with the superstars leading the way and role players in supporting roles. Baseball is different, though.
Before I dive into my ramblings, I want to cover the basics of this fantasy football mock draft exercise. This is a 12-team half-point superflex draft in which you need one quarterback, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one superflex, one flex, one kicker and one team defense.
We are now in the seventh week of the fantasy baseball season. With six weeks behind us, we can start looking at potential draft busts for the season.
There were plenty of big-time individual performances over the weekend in the MLB, so it’s time to break it all down.
It’s the start of a new week, which means it’s time to go over some fantasy baseball waiver wire possibilities.
It’s a new week, so let’s jump right in and run through Monday’s probable starters (according to MLB.com) who are widely available in fantasy leagues and have good matchups, creating streaming value. Most stats and rankings are from ESPN. The full streamer rankings are listed at the bottom.
It’s not too often that there are any meaningful trades early in the MLB season. We had one this weekend though, so let’s break it down!
Brooks was our top-ranked rookie running back prospect coming into the 2024 NFL Draft and he is now our top-ranked rookie running back for the 2024 fantasy football season.
On Friday, veteran receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Chase Claypool signed with the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills, respectively. Each player has strong seasons in his past, but neither has been a true difference maker for several years.
