The Colorado Rockies will start Nolan Jones (knee) in left field for Thursday's Opening Day game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Jones had an injury scare in the closing days of Spring Training when he appeared unable to put any pressure on his knee, but has recovered well enough to start in left field for Colorado on Opening Day. He'll bat third and is expected to be the most productive player on Colorado's roster for fantasy this season.
The former Guardians outfielder broke out in his first season with the Rockies, logging a .931 OPS while launching 20 homers with 20 stolen bases across 424 plate appearances. Our model projects him for 10.5 FanDuel points against the Diamondbacks tonight.
