With both Ferando Tatis Jr. and Ronald Acuna Jr. hobbled and slated to miss time, Jose Ramirez pops as the most serious 40/40 threat in the league. He’s probably the only third baseman who can offer you elite production in all five categories and belongs near the top of every draft list. While we also really like what Rafael Devers has been able to do, the value late at the third base position offers fantasy players the opportunity to really wait on the position and lead up.
ADP Targets
Kris Bryant (66) now plays 81 games in Coors (end of analysis)… Love the late value of Alex Bregman (73) and Anthony Rendon (100)… Despite advancing age Justin Turner (144) and Josh Donaldson (183) continues to mash.
ADP Fades
Due more to the fact that there really are a bunch of nice value options, we are likely avoiding Manny Machado (23) and Austin Riley (41) at cost.
