Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups & FAAB Advice (Week 7) | FantasyPros

Welcome to our weekly fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups and FAAB (free agent acquisition budget) report. In this article, I’ll provide fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups and recommendations for players to target. Suggested bids will include an explanation of where to target them.

The focus is on 12- and 15-team National Fantasy Baseball Championship (NFBC) leagues. If you’re in shallower formats, bid less than my recommendations below. The best way to use this column is to bid on the high end for your targets. I’ve scoured the waiver wire for three targets for each position to make it easier for you. Note that the recommendations are for a $1,000 budget.

With that in mind, let’s dive into my Week 7 fantasy baseball FAAB recommendations.
