I believe I can fly!

The final week of the 2026 season is upon us. Hitting your innings pitched cap in Ottoneu points leagues is one of the most important ways you can maximize your roster to its fullest extent. And because it’s a soft cap, you can stack as many starters as you can on the day you’ll hit the cap, and you’ll receive all the points from those pitchers.

If you’re planning ahead, you might want to think about adding one or two of the following under-rostered pitchers for their start during the final weekend of the season, if you can line everything up correctly. You’ll need to start your auction for any of these starters by Wednesday to ensure they’re on your roster by Friday. And if you’re in a more traditional fantasy league or a head-to-head league, these under-rostered starters could be solid streamers for you if you need one or two more starts before the end of the season.

Every year I report on how many closers made it through the season and how Saves were distributed (2025 report). I need help verifying that the following list is correct before writing the final report next week. Crowd-sourcing this information is a great way to make sure we have the right baseline for the report. It would be a big help if you could review the table below and offer any notes you have in the comments. At least take a look at the notes column to check if I’m right since those are the teams with the most questions? Thanks.

• SP Rankings (last update: 7/24)
• No 2-Start podcast episode this wk because there is just SO much uncertainty that I didn’t think there’d be a ton of value to it.  I should be able to run Sat/Sun boards for y’all again this weekend to help w/those last second questions.

Welcome to the Daily SP Chart, click here if you’re new to get an idea of what I’m doing with these rankings.

• With such little time left, everything is heavily based on your particular situation so if you have any specific questions, drop a comment and I’ll help the best I can!
• Added Rasmussen & Fried since original post. My sheet doesn’t handle doubleheaders well so I have to add them in manually and forgot to do that last night!

Using Statcast data, we can track which of the four aspects of a hitter’s batting stance moved and by how much across each month of the season. In this piece, I wanted to go a step further with some of the names from part one and layer in bat tracking data and batted ball tendencies to see whether the stance changes translated into a measurable swing change.

Every Monday, this column will break down the most popular waiver wire and free agent acquisitions from the weekend. I dig into the top adds on the ever-popular Fantrax and in the NFBC Online Championship (OC), a national mid-stakes contest with 240 total leagues of 12 and a six-figure grand prize. Reviewing player adds between the two should provide us with a well-rounded perspective and barometer of the fantasy baseball marketplace.

• Quick Sunday board for y’all, too! One week left!!!!
• I don’t know who is starting for LAD, but Sheehan makes more sense than Wrobleski, who started on Thursday. Sure, Wrobo only threw three innings, but recalling Sheehan (last pitched 9/13) just seems like a smarter option to me.

In this article, I cover the players using CBS’s and Yahoo’s ADD/DROP rates. Both sites have the option for daily and weekly waiver wire adds. CBS uses a weekly change, while Yahoo looks at the last 24 hours. Yahoo is a great snapshot of right now, while CBS ensures hot targets from early in the week aren’t missed. I start players being added at CBS who started the week on less than 40% of rosters.

The players are ordered for redraft leagues by my rest-of-season preference, grouped by hitters, starters, and relievers. Read the rest of this entry »
