Week 16 FAAB Projections

It’s never a good week for adds when catchers take the top billing. Owners may want to focus on drops from last week and maybe gamble on some bullpen arms.

The projection guidelines:

• The ownership rates are from CBS since they have some quickdraw waiver wire leagues where players can be picked up at any time.
• The FAAB estimates are based on the 2018 15-team mixed NFBC leagues which used a $1000 FAAB budget. Owners are going to need to convert these values to their own league.
• The ownership values were taken from Saturday and lots can happen in between when they publish and FAAB bids run.
• Only players owned in 50% or fewer of CBS leagues are examined.

• Danny Jansen takes the top estimate after hitting .400/.400/1.200 over the past week with for homers. Chance Sisco is also drawing some much-needed attention.
• Kevin Newman and Dominic Smith are slowly being added.
• Jason Heyward is finding some love. He’s the old boring hitter which sneaks his way into the end-of-season top-100.

• Dylan Cease was widely owned before this weekend but could go for a decent price in leagues where he’s still available.
• And the next gainers are the scrubs Daniel Mengden and Andrew Cashner. I told you it was sad.
