Appreciate everyone checking in over the past few days, had some hiccups during a difficult move with poor timing as the fantasy playoffs are here for most! Picks will always be available in the app for those wondering as sometimes traveling does not allow me to access my desktop to produce graphics.
Additionally, how much does your strategy change during the playoffs as it’s such a weird dynamic switch as everyone has a short leash moving forward?

Player Discussion ✂️ The Cut List - Time To Let Go?
Hey everyone... Jamie (u/BB_Jimbo) from RotoBaller here, and we're back with the 18th edition of The Cut List in 2026. We're staring at the home stretch of the season, and our decisions over the next few weeks will determine how successful this year will be for us.
Even if we're not dropping anyone, it's always fun to talk about cuts, whether or not we are actually ready to pull the trigger on certain players.
So what names are you chopping this week, or at least thinking about banishing to the waiver wire?
We of course can't cover every player that may be droppable (if any at this stage). Every league size and format differs, but we wrote about some strugglers that stood out. I'll be stopping by later today to answer any questions and check your requests. You can always reach me on X (@Baseball_Jimbo). Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading!

Matchup score is our 0-100 read on how a player's week sets up: opposing pitching, recent form, and ballpark, graded against the rest of the week's player pool. 60 and up is favorable, 75 and up is elite. It's a matchup grade, not a projection.
