​Justin Bour, 1B, Miami Marlins

We've been waiting all season for Miami Marlins slugger Justin Bour to reclaim his breakout form from 2017. And while it might be too late for Bour to dig himself out of the .228 batting-average hole that has him looking like a major bust for season-long players, a prolonged hot streak is not out of the question for daily players looking to capitalize on his depressed mid-$2,000s FanDuel salary.

Bour's 45.8% hard-hit rate over the last month looks very strong indeed, though a poor 14.7% line-drive rate may contribute to his middling .127 isolated slugging (ISO) over that span. Still, it's all righties for Bour in Week 18, and even through his struggles in 2018, he's managed an excellent .219 ISO against right handers across 218 plate appearances.

It won't cost daily players much at all to see if Bour can emerge from his prolonged slumber.
