Being only a week and a half into the season, drastic measures are to be avoided. None of us are happy with Yu Darvish right now, for example, but kicking him to the curb after two starts amounts to fantasy malpractice in most situations.That doesn't mean you can't tinker on the edges, which is precisely what this column is designed to help you do.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish allowed four more walks on Thursday versus the Atlanta Braves. Darvish went four innings and allowed five hits, three runs and struck out two hitters along with four walks. Darvish looked good for the first three innings, but couldnt keep it going. Darvish has a good track record, but until he can string together a good start or two, Darvish shouldnt be trusted in all formats. Darvish now has 11 walks in 6 2/3 innings and will look for better results in [...]

Each week, I will be bringing you my latest insights from around the Fantasy world. For now, I will be gathering storylines from around Major League Baseball.This week, we look at very early results and how some intangibles and health issues can factor in overall outlooks for spotlighted players. Is it too early to panic about Yu Darvish? Is Sandy Alcantara for real? Let's take a look at some of the most interesting storylines from [...]

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish struggled to find the strike zone versus his former team on Saturday. Darvish only lasted 2 1/3 innings and allowed two hits, three runs, seven walks and struck out four. Darvish had a nice spring, but that didnt translate over to his first start of the season. Despite a rough 2018 season, Darvish has a good enough track record to be rostered in most formats. Darvish is in line to face the Brewers in his next start.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (finger) said he's good to go for his season debut on Saturday against his old team, the Texas Rangers. Darvish threw in a minor league game last weekend and made it through a bullpen session on Thursday without using protection on his finger, so he's ready to go this weekend. Despite making only eight starts due to injury in his first year in Chicago, Darvish has bounce-back potential as a solid No. 2 fantasy starter if he avoids the injury bug.

We are continuing our updated analysis of points league tiered rankings with a final look at starting pitchers. In H2H points leagues, starting pitchers are the lifeblood of a fantasy team. The more innings and strikeouts a starter can rack up, the further it carries your team toward a championship.There is a solid core of SP at the top that are sure to fly off draft boards much earlier than in roto leagues. [...]

To some fantasy owners, theres nothing more frustrating than the good but oft-injured starting pitcher. It makes owners just want to wash their hands entirely of pitchers like Rich Hill, James Paxton, and Stephen Strasburg in favor of sub-par innings-eatersand often pushes these fragile hurlers down draft boards.However, in certain league formats, targeting these pitchers at their discounted prices can actually be a solid strategy in building an outstanding pitching staff on a budget.
