- Scott White published his Week 26 fantasy baseball sleeper hitters list for Sept. 14-20, with Jakob Marsee and Leo Bernal headlining 10 waiver-wire targets rostered in under 80% of CBS Sports leagues.
- Tigers (@TOR3, @CHW4) earned the No. 1 best hitter matchup ranking for Week 26, followed by the Padres (@COL4, MIA3), Rockies (SD4, SEA3), Dodgers (@CIN4, SF3), and Guardians (CHW3, ATH3).
- Pirates (MIL3, KC3) topped the worst hitter matchups list, with the Nationals (PHI2, @STL3), Athletics (@TB3, @CLE3), Reds (LAD4, CHC3), and Giants (@STL3, @LAD3) also drawing unfavorable schedules.
- White framed the sleepers as best suited for injury fill-ins or hot-hand plays rather than must-starts, with updates promised Sunday.
Why it matters: Fantasy owners chasing the final weekly prize need actionable waiver pickups before Sunday's updates land, and the matchup tables let managers in Tigers/Padres/Rockies-heavy leagues stack lineups while benching Pirates or Nationals bats in a short Week 26 window.
