FantasyPros Issues Week 16 FAAB Guide With Specific Dollar Bids
The column converts weekly waiver targets into $1,000-budget bid recommendations that managers should scale higher for deeper 15-team leagues.
Overview
- FantasyPros published a position-by-position Week 16 waiver and FAAB column that lists three targets per slot and gives explicit dollar bids calibrated to a $1,000 FAAB budget.
- Top outfield priority is Luis Robert Jr., with a $22 suggested bid in 15-team leagues and $11 in 12-team leagues, while prospects Luis Lara and Ryan Waldschmidt are both recommended at $18 in 15-team formats.
- The catcher advice highlights Dalton Rushing as a 15-team target at $10 because Will Smith is expected to face an extended absence, creating immediate everyday playing time for Rushing.
- Starting pitchers with two scheduled starts this week, such as Janson Junk, receive concrete bids ($8 in 15-team leagues) to exploit short-term streaming value tied to the schedule.
- The guide warns of small-sample risk and role/velocity volatility and tells managers to prioritize short-term two-start pitchers, Coors/schedule hitters, and higher bids in deeper leagues while monitoring sustainability.
