Let’s jump right into Saturday’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 NFL Draft and NBA playoffs will be distractions to fantasy baseball owners everywhere this weekend, so let the FantasySP team help you identify some potential waiver wire adds instead.
The 2024 NFL Draft has already brought us twists and turns and Rounds 2 and 3 during Day 2 should be no different. We watched in real-time as the Falcons pulled a fast one on everyone by taking Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8. The Broncos followed that up with their own shocker by nabbing Bo Nix at No. 12.
There were 10 MLB games played on Thursday, April 25 and now it’s time to discuss the top performers from the day, as we do every weekday.
What started as a ho-hum draft began picking up steam with the fifth pick and ended with major decisions being made by the time Denver made their selection at No. 12. With all the mock drafts now busted, let’s look at some of the likely outcomes on Day 2 of the draft.
Off a whirlwind first day of the NFL Draft, most analysis is likely to be focused that direction. Let’s take advantage of everyone’s carelessness to find some starting pitcher streamers!
The NFL Draft is finally here, and just like that, the first night is over. The top selections went mostly as expected, but a few surprise picks made for an interesting top dozen. Let’s run through each pick in the first round and the notes I made after each selection while watching the draft.
We’re in the fifth week of the fantasy baseball season and have now hit the one-month mark of the MLB regular season.
Each NBA first round playoff series has now played two games. We took a look at stats after game 1s and now will discuss how players have looked in the first two games combined.
All 30 MLB teams were in action again on Wednesday, April 24, so there’s plenty to discuss from a fantasy baseball perspective.
