Fantasy GMs scramble as MLB's opening week sparks Closer Mania—will this waiver wire gold last beyond Week 2? Jordan Romano, Lucas Erceg, and Cole Sands emerge as must-adds, with Erceg primed for a potential Kansas City Royals takeover following Carlos Estevez's injury. Dominick Martino weighs ROMANO’s upside, dissects ERA and WHIP projections, and explains why dropping Griffin Jax could pay off. Is the Twins’ bullpen in for a shakeup, or will Sands lock down the ninth?

Seth Lugo and Joe Boyle headline the starting pitcher pickups, with Lugo’s strong outing against the Atlanta Braves and Boyle’s dominant minor league numbers promising rotation staying power. Hot bats ignite intrigue: Chase DeLauter’s Guardians breakout prompts debate on his ceiling, Giancarlo Stanton’s return sparks optimism for Yankees fans, and Andres Gimenez’s Toronto Blue Jays resurgence offers middle infield upside. Ready to overhaul your roster? The early-season window to grab these fantasy difference-makers is closing fast.
