4 MLB FanDuel Studs to Target on 5/8/17
Tonight's Coors Field game has the slate's highest over/under, and Kris Bryant offers elite upside. Which other high-priced MLB players should be on your radar for Monday's DFS contests?

Ian Desmond, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $3,900

On the other side of that Rockies/Cubs matchup, Colorado's hitters have a tougher matchup -- they'll be taking on Jake Arrieta, who has bounced back from a shaky 2016 season with a 3.14 SIERA to start 2017.

The Rockies still boast an implied total above 5.00, though, and for a productive hitter in Coors, Ian Desmond is underpriced.

Among the 300-plus hitters to notch at least 10 batted balls over the last 15 days, Desmond ranks seventh with an average exit velocity of 95.7 miles per hour. The sample this season isn't big, with only 31 plate appearances, but he is off to a hot start with a 52.6% hard-hit rate and 10.5% soft-hit rate. Hitting the ball like that at Coors Field is a recipe for big fantasy production.
