Prince Fielder, 1B, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Prince Fielder isn't the superstar slugger he once was, and this season especially has seen him struggle to the tune of a .228 wOBA and .088 ISO. Those numbers have his salary really low in daily fantasy.

Looking into the numbers more, though, he's sporting a 5.7 percent home run-to-fly ball ratio and a .216 BABIP on the season, both of which would make for the lowest marks of his career by a substantial margin. Even if you think age or decline is catching up with the 32-year-old, those numbers are so far below his career averages that it's hard not to expect some level of bounce back.

He fares better against right-handed pitchers, but as far as lefties go, Carlos Rodon isn't particularly intimidating, sporting a 4.13 SIERA to start his young career.

Playing at home in one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the Majors, Texas has a solid implied total of 4.67, and with Fielder's salary suppressed by a healthy dose of unfortunate variance, he's a serious bargain tonight.
