Biggio went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old is up to five homers on the year, with three of them coming in the last week. Biggio's .206/.324/.460 slash line through 16 games is less impressive, but his power and patience profile (with a little bit of speed -- he has three steals in three attempts) still gives him solid fantasy value in most formats.

Biggio went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio has largely struggled since going 5-for-13 in the opening series of the season, but he's picked up his play over the past four games, going 5-for-15 with two homers, four runs, three RBI and four walks.

Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio took Nate Eovaldi deep in the third inning for his second home run of team's series against the Red Sox. Already his fourth long ball of the season, Biggio has shown improved power early on by maintaining a .231 ISO. He's struggled otherwise, hitting just .192/.276/.423 through 58 plate appearances, but also has a manageable 21 percent strikeout rate.

Biggio went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jays manager Charlie Montoyo flipped Biggio and Bo Bichette at the top of the batting order, and the move paid immediate dividends when Biggio led off the game with his third homer of the season. The 25-year-old's patience should make him a good fit in the leadoff spot, but as yet Biggio hasn't really gotten rolling, slashing .200/.265/.400 through 11 games.

Biggio went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio took Javy Guerra deep in the in the seventh inning, pulling an offering just over the right field wall. It was his second home run of the season, but first since Opening Day. Biggio has struggled to get going to this point in the campaign, reaching base just eight times in first 32 plate appearances.

Biggio went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, two runs and three strikeouts in Friday's win against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After generating some production in summer camp, Biggio translated his results to regular season action. He put the Blue Jays ahead with a three-run home run in the fifth inning that forced Rays starter Charlie Morton out of the game. The 25-year-old hit .234/.364/.429 with 16 home runs, 48 RBI and 14 stolen bases over 100 games in his rookie season with the Blue Jays last season.

Biggio launched a two-run home run off reliever Justin Miller during Wednesday's intrasquad game, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio didn't hit a home run in his 12 games during spring training, so it had to feel good for him to leave the yard before the regular season gets underway next week. The 25-year-old demonstrated a patient eye at the plate as a rookie (16.7 percent walk rate), which should lock him into a premium spot in the lineup throughout the season. While his plate discipline stands out as his top skill, Biggio showcased a fantasy-friendly blend of power and speed in 2019, slugging 16 home runs and adding 14 steals in only 429 plate appearances. Even in a 60-game season, Biggio should have an outside shot at reaching double figures in both categories again if he stays healthy.

Biggio got the start in center field during Saturday's Grapefruit League game, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the 24-year-old is still locked in as the Jays' starting second baseman, Biggio could find himself seeing occasional action in center or at first base depending on who else is resting or slotted in at DH during any particular game. While this might eventually result in extra position eligibility down the road in fantasy leagues with lower qualification thresholds, the most important takeaway is that manager Charlie Montoya sees Biggio as a player he needs to keep in the lineup as much as possible.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Sunday that he envisions Biggio serving as the team's No. 2 hitter this season, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Biggio could eventually move down in the order against southpaws, but he'll likely be given a full-time look out of the two hole at least to begin the season after he slashed a credible .237/.368/.373 (104 wRC+) in 145 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching in 2019. Biggio supplied 16 home runs and 14 steals in just 100 games with Toronto as a rookie and could push for a 20-20 season if he gets 600 plate appearances in 2020.

Biggio went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, three walks and an additional run Monday in the Blue Jays' 11-10 win over the Orioles in 15 innings.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie extended his hitting streak to a career-best seven games, lifting his season average from .221 to .237 during that stretch. Biggio's 28.4 percent strikeout rate will make it difficult for him to uphold a useful batting average, but his blend of power and speed and willingness to work pitch counts and take walks make him an ideal fit near the top of the Toronto lineup.
