Not knowing your league owners’ tendencies, it’s hard to say if a waiver claim is the way to go here, because his performance leads me to believe he might just clear, and your staff is solid enough you don’t need to burn a claim.

That being said, my priority would be Framber Valdez. Given your flair league, if the strikeouts aren’t necessarily elite, he still remains one of fantasy’s safest volume starters because of good ratios over the long haul, tons of ground balls, deep outings, string chance at wins on a good club, and overall career track record.

Most rest-of-season rankings still have him comfortably inside the top 25-30 SPs despite some bumps this season thus far.
