NOTE: The cutoff point will be 50% rostered in NFBC Rotowire Championship leagues (12-teams). The players will be listed in order of rostership (with exception being the top player).

Luis Gil – P – NYY – 28%

He flashed his elite swing-and-miss ability in just his second start back vs. the Astros with 15 whiffs (40% whiff rate) as his velocity is normal and things look good for the former Rookie of the Year. His elite K-upside and win-chance pitching for the Yankees is hard to find on wires this late and it might be the last big home run swing for fantasy managers. If you need K’s and W’s, this is where you need to unload your FAAB. Gil also induced soft contact last year with a 37.0% hard-hit rate and that number is at 38.5% in the early going for him. So he has a shot to limit damage and return good ratios.

Recommendation – 12-teams – 40-75% of FAAB

Paul Williamson

I grew up in Crosby, TX, just about 30 minutes east of Houston, TX. Yes, I am a major Houston Astros fan, and love my Texans and Rockets.

I graduated Crosby High School in 2006 (Go Coogs!) and attended San Jacinto College (Go Gators!) before attending and graduating from Texas Tech in 2012 (Go Tech!). I got my degree in journalism.

Throughout my academic life I was on some form of debate team, and it was the greatest experience of my academic career.

Now I couldn’t be more happier. Sports Ethos is allowing to me to live a life long dream: to be a sports writer.
