10. Jacob Young
OF - Washington Nationals
Washington Nationals center fielder Jacob Young has been great over 63 at bats this year. His slashline for the season sits at .333/.373/.397 and over the last two weeks it's been even better.
The Nationals are playing good ball right now and Young will find himself consistently in the lineup if he keeps this level of play going. Young is currently 15% rostered in Yahoo Fantasy and that will keep going up as he continues to perform.
9. Trey Lipscomb
3B - Washington Nationals
Another young Nationals player off to a good start here, Trey Lipscomb has been up and down somewhat but really turned it on last week. Over the last 7 games, Lipscomb's slashline is .391/.481/.435.
Lipscomb has a .321 BABIP this year and can be a good option for fantasy teams in need. Lipscomb sits at only 2% rostered in Yahoo Fantasy currently but could be on the rise if his bat stays hot this week.
8. Simeon Woods Richardson
P - Minnesota Twins
Minnesota Twins pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson makes the list again this week. It appears Richardson has earned his spot in the Twins rotation after posting a 2.45 ERA and 11:2 strikeout to walk ratio through two games.
Richardson will face a horrible Chicago White Sox lineup this week and at only 9% rostered, should be a no brainer streaming option at minimum.
7. John Means
P - Baltimore Orioles
Baltimore Orioles pitcher John Means has been plagued with injuries for the last few years and looks to finally come back this week. If he's available, it's certainly worth a look to at least stream him this week in a projected matchup with the Cincinnati Reds.
If Means is successful, he'll have a rotation spot all year in a very good Orioles team looking to make a deep postseason run.
6. Jo Adell
OF - Los Angeles Angels
Former top prospect, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell appears to have finally put it all together. Through 49 ABs this year, Adell has a slashline of .327/.382/.592 and has a .435 batting average over the last 7 games.
Adell sits at 16% rostered which is a 10% increase from last week. He may not be available for long, if at all, but is certainly worth a look.
5. Andy Pages
OF - Los Angeles Dodgers
Rookie Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages is off to a terrific start in his young MLB career. Through 43 ABs, Pages carries a .302/.326/.535 slashline and amped his play up even more in the last two weeks.
Over the last 7 games, Pages' slashline is .379/.367/.690 after hitting his first two home runs of the year. Pages does sit around 25% rostered in Yahoo so he may not be available, but if he is, might be worth stashing on your roster.
4. Slade Cecconi
P - Arizona Diamondbacks
24 year old Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Slade Cecconi has been solid through his first two starts. Cecconi currently holds a 2.25 ERA and 11:1 strikeout to walk ratio through 12 innings of work.
Cecconi is 6% rostered in Yahoo fantasy and his next start is lined up against the San Diego Padres who will be a solid test for the young starter.
3. Lucas Erceg
P - Oakland Athletics
One of the major pieces of a surprisingly good Oakland Athletics bullpen this year, reliever Lucas Erceg is a sneaky candidate to put up solid fantasy numbers. Coming off a year where he gave up 51 hits in 55 innings while allowing a 4.75 ERA, Erceg has bounced back with 14 strikeouts over 11.2 innings and a 1.54 ERA.
Erceg is only 3% rostered so there's no rush to add him, but he's certainly due for a high volume of innings this year that could pay out big fantasy wise.
2. Vaughn Grissom
INF - Boston Red Sox
After ending a great rehab stint in which he went 10/30 with 5 walks, Boston Red Sox infielder Vaughn Grissom is finally set to make his debut. Grissom has shown flashes of being a great hitter and with him now playing at Fenway Park, could be due for a big fantasy season.
Grissom is around 27% rostered in Yahoo and ESPN fantasy so he may not be available but is definitely worth a snag if he is in any of your respective leagues.
1. Richie Palacios
OF - Tampa Bay Rays
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Richie Palacios is quietly having a very good start to the year. Palacios has a season slashline of .297/.423/.469 over 64 ABs and carries a .390 BABIP.
Palacios is only 3% rostered currently in Yahoo and ESPN fantasy but is coming off of a .333 BA, 2 HRs, and 6 RBIs in his last 15 games now.
