Every Saturday, Paul Williamson delivers the top FAAB targets to help you make the smartest bids. With a Sunday update to catch any last-minute risers, this weekly guide ensures you maximize your roster moves and stay ahead of the competition.

Make every dollar count—don’t miss Weekly FAAB Pickups!

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).

Andrew Vaughn – 1B – MIL – 9%

He got the call up to the Brewers for the first time since being dealt away by the White Sox and he has done well going 6-for-16 with two homers and ten RBI, including Saturday’s 2-for-4 with four RBI performance. On the year, he has excellent metrics that always pointed to a potential breakout. He had 13.9% on the barrel rate with 47.7% hard-hit rate with an expected BA of .262 and xSLG of .479. He could go on a major run and make it hard to the Brewers when Rhys Hoskins returns. It is hard to find this kind of upsdie this late in the year so splurge if you need to CI help (looking at you who are trying to replace Max Muncy still or have Austin Riley to replace).

Recommendation – 12-team leagues 5-8%, 6-10% deeper leagues.

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.
