Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Mark Vientos, David Hamilton, Adam Duvall (2024)

It’s time for another week of high-stakes league fantasy baseball waiver wire review. The best players in the world play on NFBC and the most popular high-stakes contest is the NFBC Main Event, which has a $1,750 buy-in with a $7,000 league prize and a $200,000 overall prize. Thankfully, for everyone, NFBC allows us to see what each team is doing with their FAAB pickups on Sunday night.

Each week, I look at the most popular fantasy baseball waiver wire and FAAB pickups in the NFBC Main Event to see who the best players in the world are picking up and whether we should add them.

Fantasy Baseball FAAB Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 10

Adam Duvall (OF – ATL)

Adam Duvall was picked up in 52 leagues with a max bid of $58 and a minimum bid of $7. Duvall being the top pickup of the week is indicative of how mild a week of FAAB it was. Duvall is coming off of a decent week in which he hit two home runs, but he still struggled with a .211 average. He is in line for more time in the outfield with Ronald Acuna out for the season, but like I said, boring.

David Hamilton (2B, SS – BOS)

David Hamilton was picked up in 47 Main Event leagues with a max $51 bid and a minimum bid of $3. With Ceddanne Rafaela struggling at the plate, Hamilton is getting more and more playing time at shortstop. He stole three bases over the last week. Hamilton has a ton of speed and could be valuable if he plays regularly.

Mark Vientos (1B, 3B, DH – NYM)

Mark Vientos was picked up in 41 Main Event leagues with a max bid of $60 and a minimum bid of $1. Since getting recalled from the minors, he has hit .344/.417/.750 with three home runs. Vientos has always had a lot of power but has struggled to consistently make contact. His strikeout rate is under 20% so far, but his swinging strike rate is 16%, indicative of a 30+% strikeout rate.
