Bryce Harper, ATL @ WAS – FD $4,500 DK $4,400
Bryce Harper has been unstoppable lately. He has gone 6-for-8 in his last two games with 5 home runs. No, that isn’t a typo. He really has 5 home runs in two games. As if that couldn’t get any better, he has a career batting average of .421 against Julio Teheran who an ERA over 4. Harper is an absolute must play on Saturday because of how hot he is.

Jacoby Ellsbury, BAL @ NYY – FD $4,400 DK $5,100
The Yankees have a pretty good matchup against the Baltimore Orioles this weekend. Jacoby Ellsbury has gone 3-for-6 so far in the series with 3 runs scored. Ellsbury is one of the most consistent fantasy players because he gets on base and steals bases. He is a prototypical fantasy player that you want, and he needs to be in your lineup Saturday.
Denard Span, ATL @ WAS – FD $3,400 DK $4,300
Denard Span is getting some solid fantasy production as of late. He is batting a career .405 against Julio Teheran, and he has been hitting the ball well. The Nationals offense has been on fire because of how crazy Harper is playing. Span is a cheap option that you can play along with Harper who will give you some great production.
Michael Brantley, MIN @ CLE – FD $4,200 DK $4,400
Michael Brantley has been on fire at the plate. Brantley has a hit in 9 out of his last 10 games along with 3 home runs. In those 9 games with hits, his lowest point total was 2.25. He is playing a solid pitching team, but he scored 5.25 points on FanDuel against Minnesota on Friday. I look for Brantley to continue his success against the Twins on Saturday.
Andrew McCutchen, STL @ PIT – FD $3,900 DK $4,900
The Pittsburgh Pirates and Andrew McCutchen have gotten off to slow start offensively. They have also been a fantasy nightmare, but McCutchen has come on as of late. He has gone 5-for-9 in his last two games against the Reds and Cardinals. I look for him to continue his success against the Cardinals on Saturday, so he needs to be considered when making your lineup.
Other Players to Consider:
Brett Gardner, BAL @ NYY – FD $3,800 DK $5,000
Starling Marte, STL @ PIT – FD $4,100 DK $4,800
Anthony Gose, KAN @ DET – FD $3,100 DK $3,800
