Fantasy Baseball Shake-Up: Cade Horton’s Surprise Arrival and Evan Carter’s Triumphant Return Could Change Everything!
Gavin Sheets – 1B/OF, SD: 8% rostered
(EVERY DAY PLAYER, RBI UPSIDE)

Sheets’ recent numbers are certainly skewed by the trip to Coors Field; however, he is hitting .296 on the season, so he has been productive for the Padres this year. He starts against all right-handed pitching and is hitting in the middle of a lineup that features a lot of strong bats, which means he has a good chance for RBI upside. His multi-position eligibility also makes him a bit more valuable, and he’s an add I really like in daily moves leagues. I’ve recently also picked up a lot of shares of Zach Dezenzo – 1B/OF, HOU (1% rostered). Dezenzo has now started 12 of the last 15 games for the Astros as he cements himself as essentially an every-day player. He should remain that way as long as he keeps hitting. The 24-year-old is hitting .267 on the season and showcased decent power and speed in the minors, hitting 18 home runs with 22 steals in 2023, which was his last full season in the minor leagues. He has a 17.1% barrel rate in his 60 at-bats this season, and is chasing way less than he did in his MLB sample last year. An 81% zone contact rate is not great, so there will be some swing-and-miss here, but if he can hit .250 while bringing 15/15 upside, that’s not a bad gamble.
