End-gamers, 2026
Mar 14 2026
The end game is where you can earn the most profit from your starting rotation, since those are the guys you pick up at the end of your drafts or for a token $1 bid.
Managing the end game isn't easy, though. Not all guys are worth a $1 bid. Some have too much downside. Others don't have enough upside to justify having them on your roster.
An end-gamer in one league can be a sleeper or breakout target in another, so we'll provide you with a deep cross-section of players to focus on.
As a reminder, check out our scouting coverage for info on SP prospects worth targeting late in your drafts.
