​Bartolo Colon, Texas Rangers

Start: June 6th at Detroit Tigers
ESPN percentage owned: 7.2%

At this point, Bartolo Colon is more meme than man, with little to offer fantasy owners in terms of strikeout or ratio help.

But under the right circumstances, Colon can make his very specific skillset work. Seven of his 15 assignments this season have resulted in quality starts, even if he's posted a start with more than five total strikeouts just once all year.

Fantasy owners for whom punchouts are a luxury but quality innings are in short supply might take a gamble on Big Sexy this week. The 45-year-old national treasure draws a Tigers team that's been absolutely useless against righties in June, posting a barely-there .107 group isolated slugging (ISO) and a hair-raising .278 team-wide OBP.
