Do you ever bust your ass to finish your work super early so you can have a night on the couch watching tv w/your gf and go to bed early only to not hit the publish button and end up posting that piece the following morning?
Yeah, me neither……🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Drop any questions you have in the comments. Feels like a pretty straightforward slate outside of the 2-x guys being tough decisions for shallower formats.

The mainstays are great, but there is some big risk in the streamer tiers.

Not too many difficult choices out there. Bradish and Brown are kinda toss-ups for certain situations, but I’m mostly out on them right now. Cabrera and Rodón are probably more suspect than I’m letting on. I just feel confident enough to start both in all formats, albeit for different reasons. Cabrera’s getting the co-sign almost exclusively because of his core skills in this year’s small sample, while Rodón is getting credit for his longer term track record with a bit of his recent run adding confidence.

Thanks so much for coming out!!
Check out the transcript and feel free to come over to my Twitch channel on Mondays (8am CT), Thursdays (8am CT), and Fridays (~10:30am CT) to review the previous night’s boxscores and talk about baseball. You can get your fantasy questions answered there, too.
| 1:05 |
: Helllloooooo!!!! |

: Should Matt Waldron be a consideration moving forward in a QS points league? |
| 1:05 |
: As a standard streamer, sure, nothing more |
| 1:05 |
: What to make of the Manoah rehab start? |
| 1:06 |
: It was cool and I’m rooting for him, but he’s firmly in the “need 3-4 starts” to really start paying attention |
| 1:06 |
: Is this a lost season for O’Neil Cruz? Or maybe he just isn’t cut out for big leagues? |

Y’all, why do I keep starting Griffin Canning? Like what is this power he has over me?!
Tuesday morning update:
- Yu Darvish is off the IL and starting for SDP… he is a toss-up for me depending on what other options you have with a slight lean toward getting him back in where you can. I’d say it’s 52/48 to the yes for me. I’ll be putting him back in my lineup after this start almost regardless of how it goes, though.
