A short stint on the bench with a back injury punctuated an overall lackluster month for Christian Yelich, who has slashed a so-so .237/.333 /.388 over his last 30 games.

This lull in production has the FanDuel salary on the Milwaukee Brewers' outfielder dipping into the $3,000s, but Yelich's underlying metrics (47.4% hard-hit rate and 21.4% line-drive rate) indicate he's still showing the skills that made him one of the most consistently useful hitters in fantasy over the early months of the season.

Look for Yelich to finish the first half on a high note against some very beatable arms on the Miami Marlins and Pittsburgh Pirates in Week 15.
