Three National League Outfielders Set To Break Out in 2019 rotoballer.com Wed 3/27/19 6:28 AM
Before listing the three National League outfielders destined for breakout seasons, its best to define what I classified as a breakout candidate. I decided to choose players that fantasy owners have seen on the waiver wire over the past few seasons. Perhaps these players have even found their way onto a roster or two.However, it is this upcoming season in which they will contribute to a fantasy team in a significant way for the first time. That means no rookies such as Nick Senzel or Victor Robl[...]

As we enter the final stretch for drafting it is time to take a look at the latest iteration of points leagues rankings from our amazing hard working rankings staff. Starting with the outfield is always fun because there is so much depth at the position, especially if you only require three of them, as many points leagues do. However, even if your league has switched to five outfielders there is still a lot of value, both within the top-60 at the position and below.Points leagues are always toug[...]
Jesse Winker Launches Two Homers Saturday rotoballer.com Sun 3/24/19 7:29 AM
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker turned in a big game against the Cleveland Indians in Cactus League action on Saturday. Winker, hitting leadoff, went 2-for-3 with two homers and three RBI in an 8-5 loss.

H2H Points Leagues Outfielders - Overvalued & Undervalued rotoballer.com Sat 3/23/19 7:00 AM
For those fantasy enthusiasts that love the head-to-head competition and being able to trash talk their friends every week, the points league is the ideal setup. For the casual player in this format, its common to unknowingly draft using a standard top-300 list from a magazine or website. These lists base themselves on roto formats, and depending on which league you are participating in, there is a contradiction in value.For batters, the roto leagues value hitters more for their stolen base abil[...]

Young Hitters Set To Break Out in 2019 rotoballer.com Thu 3/21/19 6:17 AM
The hunt for the next breakout player is a never-ending quest for fantasy players. Identifying and acquiring even one of those players can pay huge dividends throughout the course of a single-season league and even more so in dynasty and keeper leagues. Unfortunately, this quest is shared by all fantasy players, so the window of opportunity to get these players on your fantasy teams is small.That being said, there are always methods to get an edge. Some players who are primed to break out are ea[...]
