The Week Ahead: July 17th - July 23rd
Every Sunday an automated report gives you a look at two-start SPs, hitter strength of schedules, and other fantasy-relevant information for the week ahead.
Back from the break with another Sunday edition of “The Week Ahead”. There is less confidence in the SP schedule stuff right now with a lot of rotations still getting ironed out after the break. We have had a lot of late-announced changes to the probable starters, and that causes problems for us
So I urge you to not take the below as gospel and do a little bit further checking on some of these names before you take action.
