DOUBLE DIPPIN': September 2-8

There aren't a lot of attractive options this week who are likely to be available on waiver wires in deeper mixed and only leagues, but Patrick Sandoval is one such option. He's owned in just 15 percent of NFBC 15-teamers, and is coming off a game in which he induced 19 swinging strikes against Texas. Mike Leake is available in a few 15-teamers as well, and could even be worth a look in shallower leagues this week if you're chasing wins. For a look at all of the week's matchups, check out our 8-day scan.
