It’s kind of funny to watch MLB fanbases crash out after like four key free agents in total have been signed. There is so much time left in the offseason to determine if your favorite team is gonna be good or terrible

Hope I don't regret asking (I can predict some of the replies), but curious what you fine folks think...

🤔 What do you want to see from us at Rotoworld in the future? How can we make your fantasy sports experience better?

No promises, but I'm an open book and genuinely interested in your answers!

Hey all, Rotoworld Baseball headlines are now on Bluesky!

Not sure I can fix the giant heads since Bluesky is wonky like that, but expect the same comprehensive news and analysis you found at that other place. Also I miss the snarky reactions to our headlines, so it's about time we got here.

If you’re in a league where you can drop bench players who have already played, then I would scoop up the Lions DST. My early defense rankings are loving their spot against J.J. McCarthy, and the Vikings next week.

Are the Titans and Raiders DSTs both playable? Can the Packers rebound against the Bengals? Can we trust the Rams after their letdown on Thursday night?

I answer all of those questions in my Week 6 DST rankings, which are LIVE @rotoworld-fb.bsky.social www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/foot...

Everybody talking about “set an alarm” for the NFL London game. That sounds lovely. That game is at 930am. I live on the East Coast and have a toddler

I can't wait for our first "Chris Weber" ABS challenge, when a player angrily calls for a challenge that everybody else knows he's gonna lose, and his team only has one challenge left in the 5th inning.

Attack this tier of WRs in fantasy drafts, we said, and get two guys and flourish:

Calvin Ridley, Jaylen Waddle,
Jameson Williams, Travis Hunter, Chris Olave, Jerry Jeudy, Jakobi Meyers, Matthew Golden.

Was Egbuka/Flowers or bust so far

It’s week 3, and we’re already facing some desperate times in deeper fantasy leagues. Here are a few of my favorite low-rostered players you can start this week. Who is your most desperate play today?

Imagine drafting Rashee Rice in fantasy and holding on him on your bench for six weeks since he can’t be put on the IR and then, before he takes the field, the Chiefs trade for Tyreek Hill

Had James Cook over Omarion Hampton in my rankings. In my home league draft, I thought “Ah, F it. I’ve gotta get a Hampton share.” Yeaaaahhhhhh, about that

If you want a sneaky stash before Thursday Night Football kicks off, add Malik Washington. He has looked dynamic with the ball in his hands, and if Miami falls to 0-3, you have to wonder how long until Tyreek is traded away

He’s potentially their second most talented WR

Lions vs Ravens has the highest O/U this week at 52.5 points. Which low-rostered players could provide you fantasy goodness?

- DeAndre Hopkins: unlikely to get many targets but could score
- Tylan Wallace: played 51% of snaps in Wk 2 & scored
- Isaac TeSlaa: low snaps but a TD threat

I guess don’t try and see if anybody is interested in trading for your rookie RBs. Somebody just offered me Stefon Diggs for my Ashton Jeanty

Hi, I’m Eric. In my home fantasy football league, I rostered two “high-upside” rookie RBs and my team is hot garbage

It’s been just two weeks but is anybody happy they drafted a rookie RB in fantasy right now?

Also, we're never going to agree on this part about the GM. He's not in charge of managing the team. He's in charge of building it. Managing personalities is a secondary component. You can say "it's a leadership position," but the CEO doesn't manage the personalities of people 2-3 rungs below them

At the end of the day, I think he’s done a fine but not great job. We’ll see how they build on this in the off-season. It’s been A LOT of reliance on prospects but that was always their plan. They likely need a big SP this offseason and maybe a 1B depending on Casas.

I think we both agree it’s PART of the job. We disagree that is foundational for the GM to manage personalities of players. It’s something he needs to be better at, but it’s not the main part of being a GM. He has one HUGE strike against him and (a bad deadline) but a few really good marks for him

11.09.2025 21:42 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

Sure but, again, him botching that is a different argument than saying a GM’s job is to manage the personalities of players

I think you’ll see how bad he screwed it up this offseason. If people still want to sign with Boston then Breslow’s lack of people skills isn’t as big of an issue as others want to believe. If they don’t sign then we can more clearly say his demeanor or personality is hurting the team

11.09.2025 21:28 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

Part of your job, yes. I don’t think managing players is the most important part of a GM’s job. That’s what the manager is for. If they work together, the GM builds a team that the manager can manage. Breslow and Cora didn’t work together this offseason. They botched it
