Our crew is kicking off draft season with their initial 2019 Fantasy Baseball rankings. But that’s not all. In the coming weeks, we’ll have position primers, team previews, sleepers, busts, breakout candidates and so much more. Let our analysts do the work and you reap the rewards. We’ll also do social Q&As leading up to the season, so you can ask our crew questions directly.

But the draft is just the beginning of Fantasy Baseball. We’ll keep you up to speed all season long with waiver wire advice, emerging trends, prospects to stash and our ground-breaking Fearless Forecast series with hundreds of player predictive videos each week so you can stay ahead of the competition.
