Fantasy Baseball 2-Start Pitcher Rankings: Kyle Bradish a 'waiver-wire gift' to managers looking for a quality hurler - Yahoo Sports

Two-start upside dominates this week’s fantasy slate as waiver-wire movement finally bears fruit. Kyle Bradish tops the list, delivering front‑line reliability since TJ surgery and eyeing a favorable pair with Chicago and New York. Emmet Sheehan has cemented himself as Dodgers’ best rookie starter, while Michael Wacha brings steady ERA/WHIP in home-friendly games. Connelly Early adds a tantalizing immediate upside despite stern early matchups.

In hitter land, Daulton Varsho’s late‑season power surge fuels a seven-game week, Daylen Lile cleanly anchors Washington’s lineup, and Heriberto Hernandez profits from regular playing time in Colorado’s openers. Austin Hays stays steady for RBIs and runs across a busy week. A parallel thread spotlights one-start streamers to squeeze value from the final stretch and maximize seven‑game weeks.

Bottom line: streaming and roster pruning are the order of the week. Target high‑upside arms and batters with multiple games, while rotating in fresh arms from the waiver wire who can deliver in two starts and avoid negative matchups. One‑start streamers offer additional flexibility, but the core is extracting value from a realistic, high-floor two-start window.
