On the Agenda:
We’re nearly a third of the way through the season and the fantasy landscape is littered with piles of pitching calamities. With waiver wires already increasingly dry with decent talent, those looking for relief from a stream might more and more have to rely on playing the man, more so the cards when trying to find viable matchups, Adjusting our slider on quality of pitchers in order to pounce on the worst teams, whether overall or against a particular hand.

But really, it just gives me a good reason to show the moment Randy Johnson instantly smashed a bird’s soul into oblivion.
I’m not sure this makes me laugh more than Jose Canseco bouncing that home run off of his Fred Flinstone haircut-having mega dome but they’re the only two in the conversation.

Wait – what did you just say, bro? You said I’ll never be able to show everyone how much I love and respect all mothers in the entire world, no matter how loud and angry I get? Are you kidding me, bro? No one loves and respects them more than me AND I’LL PROVE IT RIGHT NOW, BRO!

On the Agenda:
This is one of my favorite times of the fantasy season, as we don’t have enough data for the collective hive to quite make up its mind on which players are good enough to keep rostered and who should stay in their streaming lane. And in these margins, there is a lot of value to be had (and drafting errors corrected) in swooping the fantasy assets that two months from now won’t be on any wires.
Let’s take a look at some players who have been valuable fantasy assets over the first ~20% of the season (using the Razzball player rater as our markers) but are still lesser-owned, as fantasy managers have yet to fully decide who should keep getting churned around the wire, and who should be acquired and kept.

Ahh, hope springs eternal in April, with small samples and undeserved ratios trying their best to distract us from whether someone’s talent has changed, or maybe just their luck. But one way or another, regression is coming. It might drag things to the bad, or to the good, but time (and sample) tends to remain undefeated in the long run.
With that in mind, let’s try to see which pitchers might have some pain or joy coming soon to their fantasy ratios and play the game currently sweeping the hearts and homes of the nation, according to the most recent issue of “Official-Sounding Publication Invented by the Author, Weakly”. That’s right, it’s time to play –
