Big Kid Adds (Week 12)

While the NFBC Main Event garners most of the attention, there are a handful of leagues with even a larger entry fee ($2.5K to $15K). They get originally named “High Stakes Leagues” and this year there are nine of them. With so much money on the line, these fantasy managers are going to try to gain any advantage. Most of the time, these managers will be a week or two ahead of everyone else on their adds. Here are the players and some information on the ones added in four or more of these leagues.

Waiver Wire & FAAB Report (Week 12)

In the article, I cover the players using CBS’s (about 40% or less initial roster rate) and Yahoo’s ADD/DROP rates. Both hosting 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. The players are ordered for redraft leagues by my rest-of-season preference grouped by starters, relievers, and hitters. Read the rest of this entry »

Waiver Wire & FAAB Report (Week 10)

Updated on Sunday morning. Added a few players and moved a few players around.

Note: Starting today (Friday), my Memorial Day weekend is planned out for me and I’m just along for the ride. Here are my weekly waiver wire ranks and I’ll update them when I have time. I’ll post the updates here at the top and in the excerpt to let people know if/when there have been any changes. I’m going to be very bare-bones with no blurbs, but I’ll add more info as I find time.
