Fantasy Baseball Watchlist: Key Players to Target

The Fantasy Baseball Watchlist provides insights on players to monitor for potential waiver wire pickups and trade targets in the upcoming weeks. This column aims to help fantasy players stay competitive by identifying individuals who may become valuable assets.

Among the highlighted players is Evan Carter of the Texas Rangers, who is expected to benefit from a favorable schedule against teams with high FIP ratings. Carter has struggled with a low batting average and BABIP this season but may see improvement in his performance with upcoming matchups.

Additionally, Nicky Lopez, another Ranger, has shown solid contact skills with a low strikeout rate and a respectable batting average. His dual eligibility at second base and shortstop makes him a viable streaming option as well. Both players are positioned to contribute positively to fantasy teams in the near future.
