Risers & Fallers: Middle Infielders

Fantasy BaseballSeptember 6, 2024

Including today, we have four regular season Friday's left. I am going to use each of those Friday's and this column to target a different group of risers and fallers, with an eye on their value in dynasty leagues going forward. Today we'll go over middle infielders, next Friday corner infielders, the Friday after that catchers and outfielders and the final Friday will be pitchers, both starters and closers. We'll go over the youngsters that have shot up the rankings and the veterans who can and will still impact each of the positions.

Examining the National League Wild Card Race

Fantasy BaseballSeptember 6, 2024

The National League wildcard race now has the highest quality of teams that we’ve ever seen with the new three wildcard format, and with four teams closely fighting for three spots, some unfortunate team will miss out. The Padres, Diamondbacks, Braves and Mets form the top four in the wildcard standings, with just three games separating the teams. The Braves and Mets currently sit tied for the last spot, and both teams are on pace for 88 wins, which would’ve been more than enough in each of the last two years to get in. With all three wildcard teams likely to have to win 90 games to make the playoffs, all hands are on deck for the last month of the season, with fantasy ramifications extending from each teams urgency to win. I’ll go through each of these four teams, their playoff chances and matchups to target offensive or pitching streamers as fantasy playoffs begin.

Pickups of the Day for September 3rd

Fantasy BaseballSeptember 3, 2024

The final month of the MLB season is upon us and it may be time to look to punt a category and focus on small gains in a few others that will allow you to move up the standings.  With most of the big name minor leaguers being called up already, it's time for a deep dive into your waiver wire bin to find some bargains, so here we go!

Anthony’s Fantasy Baseball Week in Review – September…

Anthony Weekly RecapSeptember 3, 2024

The week in review covers all the starts by the starting pitchers, what the bullpens did (saves, holds-wise), how did the offense perform (runs scored, walks, strikeouts) and who stood out with the bat, if anyone did. It's guaranteed to be 3000 or more words and will cover pretty much every main fantasy statistic and impact players. And it comes at you every week.

Pickups of the Day for September 2nd

Fantasy BaseballSeptember 2, 2024

For most leagues, the playoffs start today. That means, for half or more of your league, in head to head leagues, at least, they will be ignoring the waiver wire from here on out. In dynasty leagues and roto leagues, though, you'll still be competing with every manager until the final day of the season.

Risers & Fallers: Spencer Arrighetti, Luis Garcia Jr.,…

Fantasy BaseballAugust 30, 2024

With only have five regular season Friday's left on the calendar, that means we only have six risers and fallers columns left for the 2024 season. With trade deadlines behind us and the playoffs in front of us, we're going to start to take a more dynasty focused look at players that are performing well or performing poorly. For re-draft leagues, these will still be impactful, just, like, five months from now, instead of five weeks from now (as soon as the MLB regular season is over, for example, in my dynasty league, we can begin to wheel and deal again).
