Fantasy Baseball: Five Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
By Jason Evans
Could your fantasy baseball team need a boost? Here are five guys to target for week two.
Week one of the baseball season is in the books as well as week one of the fantasy baseball season. You are either happy about how your team did or want to make a couple of moves to shake things up because those early picks had a bad first week. Remember, Anthony Rizzo won’t hit .160 forever. Mookie Betts won’t hit .167 forever either (though that flu bug probably had something to do with that). Nomar Mazara won’t hit .417 with nine RBI every week either. It’s all about finding that happy medium.
It also doesn’t mean that players who are off to good starts are a mirage. It could be their breakout season if they are a young player, or a return to form for a player who may have struggled. Sometimes that free agent pickup may help boost your team to a championship.
Are any of these guys that? Probably not, but they could be better than a late round guy you grabbed taking a flyer, or a player who could help you out as an injury replacement for someone now on the DL or currently day-to-day like Matt Kemp and Stephen Piscotty.
Here are five guys you should take a chance on right now to help your team this week and even moving forward this season.
