In this week’s watchlist, we have plenty of vets who have fallen below 25% ownership; journeymen like Mike Tauchman who is making the most of his playing time, and some prospects getting it done in the bigs too. Solid list this week.

This weekly report is designed to provide insight into players who may be available on your waiver wire in a 10-12 team fantasy baseball league. Each week, we will provide a list of “Must-Adds” (ahem, players who shouldn’t be on the waiver wire) as well as some “Deeper-Dives” whom should be considered to fill a specific need or to plug an open roster spot. Anyone mentioned on the “Deeper-Dives” list should be considered a must-add for deeper leagues (15-30 team leagues) or could be considered a possible player to target in trade. Double-Downs are players whom have previously been mentioned that should be considered in all formats. It should be noted we will never repeat a player from previous reports as a “Must-Add” or “Deeper-Dive”. Generally speaking, players on this list will have a consensus ownership of 25% or less.
