4 Under-the-Radar FanDuel MLB Plays for 9/5/16
Ian Desmond has started heating back up, and he has a great matchup Monday. What other plays may fly under the radar?

Tyler Flowers, C, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Tyler Flowers faces the heaviest favorite on the board in Max Scherzer, and the Braves implied team total reflects just that at 2.75 runs. Flowers is the 26th-most expensive catcher on the slate on FanDuel.

Why You Should Use Him:

Scherzer's struggles with the gopher ball are well documented, and while he's allowing more home runs to lefties (1.35 per nine innings pitched), he's allowing them still a decent clip to righties, too (1.12 per nine innings pitched).

Even though he's facing an overwhelming ace, Flowers has been hot as of late. Over the last 14 days, he's got the 11th-best hard-hit rate in all of Major League Baseball at 50%.

That's shown in his fantasy production, as he's logged double digit fantasy points in 5 of those last 10 games.

Flowers certainly has a tough matchup, but he's got the opportunity for a big score while being virtually ignored.
