The dog days of summer mark the most important time of year for fantasy baseball managers.
At this stage of the MLB season, several squads are exploring the depths of their expanded rosters. While fantasy gamers compete for a championship, some real teams are playing out the year with players auditioning for 2016 gigs.
The NFL's return has sent several fantasy players instead searching their football waiver-wire pool. While breakout candidates present themselves early in the season, everyone has already ransacked baseball's waiver wire. In an active, competitive league, no more studs are waiting around.
Keep that in mind before feeling underwhelmed by this week's batch of free-agent recommendations. Rather than playing the long game, these adds center around hot hands and matchup plays who can provide short-term value.
These guys are all available in over half of Yahoo leagues, and only three are owned in more than a quarter of them. Few of them offer high upside, but every tick matters.
