It's hard to believe we're nearly one month into the 2019 Major League Baseball season already. Some players have wasted no time making their mark, namely Christian Yelich, Cody Bellinger, Jose Altuve, and Domingo Santana.Does one of those names look out of place? It sure does, but Santana is far from the only player who has gotten off to a shocking start. [...]

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is not in the starting lineup for Sunday night. Johan Camargo will play the 6 and bat sixth against Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom. Camargo has only four hits in his first 22 at-bats (.182) of the season and is facing one of the best pitchers in baseball this evening. That means you should probably avoid him in all fantasy formats. Swanson is batting .289 (13-for-45) with four home runs and 18 RBI already this year and could be headed for a breakout[...]

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so.Throughout the season, you want to get the jump on your competition and sniff out the breakout players before they break out. That's what this list is all about--using some in-depth research and advanced analytics to[...]

You are a savvy fantasy manager. Youre committed. Patient. You have the gumption to see a task to the end. You dont have shaky nerves. You dont run at the first sign of controversy. You lean in and charge forward. Unfortunately, or maybe I should say fortunately, not all fantasy players are created equal.How long does it take for panic to settle in? Not long at all, especially when there is a fantasy championship, bragging rights, or even money on the line. Regardless of what people say, everyon[...]

After hitting eighth in each game thus far, Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson will bat sixth Monday night against the Colorado Rockies. Swanson is off to a scorching start, slashing .346/.471/.731 through his first nine games. The Braves are rewarding Swanson for his production thus far by putting him in a run-producing position. Hitting sixth in the Braves lineup will put Swanson in line to deliver more RBI. He has already chipped in nine so far this season. [...]

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk-off single during a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Swanson has had a disappointing career to date after being the first-overall pick in 2015, but he is off to a fantastic start in the 2019 campaign. The 25-year-old is slashing .346/.471/.731 with three HRs, nine RBI, and six walks through nine games. Considering he has a lifetime average of .245, this hot streak does not mean Swanson's finally figured[...]
