Whether you’re in need of an injury fill-in or just a hot-hand play, Scott White has you covered with 10 sleeper hitters for the upcoming scoring period, all rostered in less than 75 percent of CBS Sports leagues. They’re not must-starts by any estimation, but they’re the best you’ll find off the waiver wire.
The threshold for inclusion here used to be 80 percent, but roster rates move slower this time of year, and too many players in the 75-80 percent range have become too obvious to mention. Examples this week include Jo Adell, Jakob Marsee and Luke Keaschall. If you’re on the fence about starting them, consider this your go-ahead, particularly in light of their matchups.
All information is up to date as of Sunday evening.
