If a player can’t help immediately, he’s no longer important to own in fantasy baseball leagues.
Late in the season, several fantasy managers are sleeping on the job. There’s no other way to explain injured players remaining owned in more than half of Yahoo Sports league. It may look nice to roster an inactive star, but some no-name getting September playing time will prove more useful.
Then there are also breakout players who have fallen back to earth. After enjoying the ride for months, anyone who missed a buy-low opportunity should admit the magic is over and locate the latest hot hand. Nobody can afford to wait out a slump when only two weeks remain to the 2015 campaign.
These players have either provided massive dividends this season or in prior years, but they won’t help any fantasy players cement a championship run. For our purposes, nothing but the next two weeks matter.
