Early-Season Fantasy Baseball Standouts: Hitters to Grab Today
Let's go over some of the top fantasy baseball performers through a weekend of play in an effort to identify some more waiver wire options.
Let's go over some of the top fantasy baseball performers through a weekend of play in an effort to identify some more waiver wire options.
After using fantasy baseball weekly projections to identify some waiver wire/streaming options for the week, let's discuss some of the most-added fantasy baseball players at the start of a new week.
The first series of the MLB regular season are in the books. We've learned a bit, and now turn our attention to the first full week of the season.
Cal Raleigh was THE player of 2025. The usual suspects won the MVP awards (Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani), but Raleigh busted out with 60 home runs, 24 doubles, and even 14 stolen bases. Well, the beginning of 2026 has been the opposite for The Big Dumper.
Two weeks; 14 days. That's how long until the NBA regular season comes to an end. Teams have one last push toward locking in their postseason position, and others are fighting for the best lottery odds before the league takes steps to curb tanking (good luck).
Hey folks. Today, we're honing in on one of the biggest edges you can gain in the second last matchup of the fantasy season - schedule exploitation.
The last day of the NBA season is two weeks from today. We already know the 20 teams that will make the postseason, but there is a lot to figure out in the standings, particularly near the play-in in both conferences.
You will hear about small sample sizes a lot early in the MLB season; a general rule is that you can't trust anything until we hit Memorial Day. Even after early May, there will still be an ever-changing landscape, an inevitability in a 162-game season. This early into 2026, it's important to take everything with a pound of salt unless a player/team is continuing a season-long trend.
We've made it to the last weekend in March, meaning that 2026 is about 25% of the way over. Remember when it was just the new year, like, a week ago? (Or something like that.) The change in the sports schedule has been accompanied by a change in weather, as we are transitioning toward baseball, but there's still a lot to figure out before we start the NBA playoffs.
Welcome to the first edition of the 2026 starting pitcher streamers! The past two days have featured mainly the top starters on most teams, not leaving many guys who are available in fantasy leagues. It's a quirk of the early season that we won't run into often moving forward unless there are only a few games on the schedule.
