Waiver Wire

Let me start by thanking you all. Joey Lucchesi's ownership finally increased to more than 75% of Fantrax leagues, so he will not be included here again. I was getting a little worried that I might have to remind everyone for a third time about how damn good Lucchesi has been and could be for the rest of the season.Nope, not going there again. Instead, there's a fresh new batch of players this week hot out of the oven. Included in the six-pack of waiver wire recommendations below are two rookies, a Colorado arm (gasp!),…

A wise man once said, "The games you win in April are just as important as the games you win in September." Just because there might be another 150 or so games left in the Major League season doesn't mean that it's too early to start making changes to your fantasy roster.

Alright, baseball season, slow down. It's hard to believe we're already over a week into the season. It's been an extremely entertaining first week , too.

Does it feel like the World Series ended three years ago? It does for me. Maybe it was the stubborn staring contest between teams and free agents that cause a giant dead period in December and January. Or maybe it’s just because I’m a baseball nut and need live baseball to watch 24/7/365. Whatever it is, at least we have MLB regular season baseball back in our lives.The off-season might have been mostly stagnant, but Spring Training sure as heck wasn’t. Before the first pitch of the season was clobbered into the…

So much for that smaller injury report we had last week. This week's report doubled in size, as half of the players in the NBA are nursing some sort of knee injury. It's ridiculous. The entire NBA is turning into 70-year-old men all of a sudden. However, the biggest injury of the bunch is a recurring quadriceps injury for -- yup, you guessed it -- Kawhi Leonard. I should just rename the injury report the Kawhi Leonard report.This is a good week for streaming, as only the Orlando Magic play two games and 13 NBA teams play…
