St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler will be on the bench for Wednesday's contest against Jhoulys Chacin and the Milwaukee Brewers. Fowler has been hot as of late, with hits in 11 of his past 12 games. In his absence, Lane Thomas will start in center field and bat eighth. Thomas has a home run and four RBI through seven at-bats this season. Even though he is at the bottom of the lineup, he is a worthy flier in DFS formats for Wednesday's slate.

Fowler hit a home run and three singles, raising his batting average up to .313.

His recent performance likely assuaged any worries, and today's game knocked those worries out of the park. Fowler is a worthwhile fantasy outfielder in all f[...]

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player wont kill a season, but why accept losing when you can stream?Streaming can be a risky business. If you do it right and check the necessary boxes, you can win the week. This column will d[...]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler will be on the bench for Monday's game against Hyun-Jin Ryu and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fowler is carrying a dismal .182 average through 31 plate appearances this season with no RBI. Jose Martinez will start in right field and bat third. Fowler was awful offensively in 2018 and the early returns in 2019 suggest nothing has changed. Martinez should get more playing time with Fowler's struggles, despite some defensive inefficiencies of his own. Mart[...]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler finally got something going on offense Saturday. Fowler had a single, double and walked once. Fowler is still only batting .182 however. While his numbers aren't impressive, you should consider keeping him on your roster to see if he'll continue to heat up. Fowler could be at risk of losing some playing time in a deep outfield, but until that happens he can be played as needed.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler has been diagnosed with a bruised toe on his left foot after being hit by a pitch in Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. X-rays showed no fracture, so if he is forced to miss any time, it shouldn't be for too long. However, the team will monitor the situation. Fowler is now 33 and is no stranger to injuries over the past few seasons, including last year when he played just 90 games due a broken left foot. To start the year he has just two hi[...]

As we enter the final stretch for drafting it is time to take a look at the latest iteration of points leagues rankings from our amazing hard working rankings staff. Starting with the outfield is always fun because there is so much depth at the position, especially if you only require three of them, as many points leagues do. However, even if your league has switched to five outfielders there is still a lot of value, both within the top-60 at the position and below.Points leagues are always toug[...]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler, who could hit anywhere from second to seventh this year, hit two home runs in the spring game on Thursday against the Yankees and has been making consistent hard contact in camp. He entered Thursday with one extra-base hit in his first 40 spring at-bats, but Fowler has put multiple balls in play at an exit velocity of 105 mph or higher. According to Statcast, he had just three events in 2018 at that exit velocity. Fowler had an abysmal year in 2018,[...]

Sleepers, draft values, ADP bargains...whatever you want to call them, every fantasy owner is looking for them at this time of year. Identifying and acquiring players whose production will outstrip the investment required to land their services is the crux of the game. It's often what separates the winners and losers, and it's arguably the most enjoyable aspect of our beloved fake baseball.The challenge is that in the last several years, there's been an explosion of data paralleling that of what[...]
