Fantasy Baseball Week 18 Preview: Top 10 sleeper hitters include Lawrence Butler, Michael Toglia
If you play in a league that folds the first weekend after the All-Star break into the first full week for an extra-long 10-day scoring period, this article is of no use to you. I’ve addressed the 10-day scenario elsewhere, and by the time you’re reading this, your choices are probably locked in for it anyway.
No, for official CBS Sports purposes, Week 18 refers to the first full week after the All-Star break, separate from the first stray weekend (that itself is known as Week 17). It’s a bit confusing, I know, but hopefully, all formats have been served now.
As always, I’ve limited my selections to those rostered in less than 80 percent of CBS Sports leagues. All information is up to date as of Sunday evening.
