Points Leagues (H2H) Waiver Wire Adds and Streamers - Week 17 rotoballer.com Sat 7/21/18 4:00 AM

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, whereas AVG and ERA are not important, so consider that as well. Some players will be suggested as streamers (while they are hot), or as rest-of-season adds ([...]

Welcome to Week 16 of the Cut List. This week I'm taking a look at Eric Hosmer, Brandon Crawford, Marcell Ozuna, and Yangervis Solarte. All of these guys have been viable standard league options at one point or another this year, but have recently hit cold streaks that have hampered their fantasy value. Sure, Eric Hosmer and Marcell Ozuna are bonafide fantasy studs, but Brandon Crawford and Yangervis Solarte aren't too far behind them. I suggest cutting each of these guys in 10-team leagues,[...]

Big names will find new homes and some teams will drastically change the layout of their rosters. These changes can have a large impact on fantasy owners' rosters as well. Fantasy owners may be afraid that some of their players will lose significant fantasy value if they are lef[...]
