Fantasy Baseball Streaming Pitcher Rankings: Week 16

Streaming pitchers is an incredibly important strategy for fantasy baseball managers, especially those in daily leagues. Even in weekly leagues it’s important to know the upcoming matchups for starting pitchers as you make your start/sit lineup decisions and place waiver wire bids. Below we take a look at the top fantasy baseball streaming pitchers of the week.

What are pitching streamers?
Streaming pitchers is a strategy where fantasy owners target short-term rentals on the waiver wire that will provide the a boost in production for a given week. By targeting matchups and pitchers who have more than one start in a week, fantasy owners can improve their weekly or daily output from the starting pitcher position.

Two-Start Starting Pitcher Rankings: Week 16

Two start starting pitchers can help win fantasy baseball championships. It’s an incredibly important strategy for fantasy baseball managers, especially those in weekly leagues as you make your start/sit lineup decisions and place waiver wire bids. Even in daily leagues it’s important to be able to grab the most useful arms that can start for you twice in a week, especially if you are dealing with transaction limits. Here’s a look at our two start starting pitcher rankings for the week.

What are two start pitchers?
Two Start Pitchers are starters scheduled to pitch twice during a given week. Top options can provide an edge by boosting counting stats (K, W, etc). Streaming pitchers is a popular fantasy strategy that often consists of targeting inexpensive two start pitchers that have favorable matchups for the upcoming week.
