This week's FAAB waiver wire report highlights players like Jake Burger, Andrew Abbott, and Joey Wiemer, who are rostered in less than 50% of leagues. Burger has continued to hit while playing, and with Eloy Jimenez injured again, he will have continued playing time. Abbott looked solid in his first start in the majors and could be in for an excellent season ahead. Wiemer's offense has taken off in a big way, and his fantasy upside may go through the roof in the coming weeks.
This article recommends five players to enhance your fantasy baseball roster, including Nolan Jones, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Joey Wiemer, Ryan Noda, and AJ Smith-Shawver. Jones is a hot slugger who does his home hitting at Coors, while Encarnacion-Strand is a potential high-impact bat with power. Wiemer has an exceedingly fantasy-friendly profile, and Noda has a high on-base percentage and pop in his profile. Smith-Shawver, a 20-year-old right-hander, will make his MLB starting debut for the Braves and has been terrific at every stop with a devastating fastball/slider combo.

Joey Wiemer, the No. 3-ranked prospect by MLB Pipeline, made his Major League debut for the Milwaukee Brewers in their 3-1 win over the Cubs. Wiemer was not expected to compete for the Opening Day roster, but injuries and participation in the World Baseball Classic created an opportunity for him to impress during Spring Training.

Wiemer's unique style and work ethic have impressed his teammates and family, who have been expecting him to make it to the Majors since he was a child.
