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.

The majority of MLB starting pitchers have still made just one start, but in your Ottoneu leagues (actually, in all your leagues), managers are making decisions about who to speculate on. Is that first great start a sign of the next Kyle Wright breakout? Or another Kyle Gibson (9.51 P/IP in his first start; 3.35 the rest of the way)? With just one start, it is hard to know who you can trust, but if you wait until you are sure, someone else will have grabbed these arms already. Who should you bid on and who should you pass?
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.

Note: There has been a minor change to the CBS numbers in that they only mark players moving 4% or more. There were plenty of options at the 4% threshold this week, but there might not be as many later in the season. Hopefully this limit drops as the season goes on.
With most of the NFBC High Stake leagues drafting over the last 10 days or so, there was many moves made on Sunday. While I will look at the few players added in multiple leagues, I’ll look at the players added in at least 20 of the 12-team NFBC Online Championships. These leagues started drafted around the start of the year, so there has been a ton of turnover. Read the rest of this entry »

: Hi, sorry for the early time today, but I’ll be drafting during the normal chat time.
|
| 10:49 |
: As always, I will take WW and FAAB questions first.
|
| 10:49 |
: What % of faab are we looking at for Schuster?
|
| 10:51 |
: Depending league depth, I could see him going a decent penny.
|
| 10:52 |
: A desperate manager who has several injuries could jump in and go to 10%, but I could see 1% to 4% work in most leagues.
|

: Where would you rank Eflin in your Waiver Wire Report vs the pitchers listed?

I don’t have a good feel on who will or won’t be available on waiver wires this weekend. I normally look at players who are rostered in 40% or fewer CBS leagues, but I bumped up the number to ~50%. I gave Yahoo a look and the only players moving a lot are some of the relievers featured below. For that reason, I will take requests for players in the comments to place them in the above list and add them to the rankings Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

: Two notes.
|
| 7:33 |
: First this Wednesday, at least Paul and I will be hosting a chat during the last set of games if you want to join us.
|
| 7:34 |
: Second, I will not be hosting any more Sunday night chats until the first FAAB run of the 2023 season. I’m not sure of my new time slot.

With just three days to go, I didn’t focus on any long-term values. It’s all who can help a team this week. My main focus was on ranking the projected starters who are rostered in under 40% of leagues. At some point Sunday afternoon, I will try to go back through and check projected rotations to see if I need to add or remove anyone.
