Jason Heyward, OF, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $3,000

The Chicago Cubs are one of the best hitting teams in baseball, ranking second in the Majors with 46.7 Offensive Wins Above Replacement. That gives their hitters a ton of upside, especially in a matchup like tonight's against Joe Musgrove.

Musgrove hasn't been egregious through seven starts in his rookie season, with a 3.76 SIERA, but he has allowed a pretty ugly 36.3% hard-hit rate. He also only managed a 3.81 ERA through 10 Triple-A starts this year, with a 3.96 FIP.

Jason Heyward is having a seriously down year from the dish, but as a career .278/.363/.447 hitter against right-handed pitching, with a .354 wOBA and .169 ISO, he still makes an interesting way to get exposure to the Cubs' offense tonight, and his matchup and situation have as much to do with his fantasy appeal tonight as his own abilities do.
