Yasiel Puig, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

Yasiel Puig got a lineup bump this week, and although the results didn't follow, his batted-ball numbers did. Among right-handed hitters this month, Puig ranks 25th in average exit velocity against right-handed pitchers (90.8 mph) and brings a phenomenal 46.0% hard-hit rate. He has 10 separate batted-ball events that have reached over 100 mph against righties this month alone.

With Puig hitting righties this well, he is someone we should be looking to target this week and beyond in DFS, especially if he's going to be batting fifth and sixth regularly. He'll face Chad Kuhl, Chase Anderson, and Zach Davies over the next few days and is still under $3,000 on FanDuel.
