Projections are pretty strong on Torii, he would automatically become my 3rd OF over JD. Is he worth burning the #1 waiver priority over, or should I just try to snatch him up after he clears? It's a 9 team 6x6 roto league. My teams below - I'd probably drop Heyward.

I would do it.  With mixed leagues, a #1 waiver is not critical to keep since it's rare a team drops a great player. What's the best case scenario where the #1 wavier gets you something great?

avatarpuntfreethrows  5/19/2015 10:22 PM

Yeah - I agree. As I look at it, there's only 48 players with better ROS projections on other teams, and half of them are on the yahoo can't cut list, so I thinks I'll nab him. Thanks for all the great work, as always!

And, just like that CarGo was dropped. He's a must add on name value alone. I hope to get him & Hunter. Now there's no thinking twice on using the top waiver.
