​Jose Ramirez, 2B, Cleveland Indians

As the Cleveland Indians' offense has begun 2019 with a whimper, so too has their burgeoning star infielder Jose Ramirez.

One of the more prominent early-season disappointments for season-long fantasy players, Ramirez has seen his stock wane in the daily game as well, with an eyesore of a batting line (.152/.236/.228) to match his plummeting FanDuel salary.

That said, the 26-year-old's .076 ISO and .167 BABIP don't exactly gel with his 22.7% line drive rate and 40.3% hard-hit rate. An uphill schedule in Week 4 against some tough young Marlins and menacing Astros should keep Ramirez in the fade category for most daily players in Week 4, but his strong peripherals and modest mid-$3,000s salary make him a very interesting contrarian play.
