Dansby Swanson, $2,600

You don't want to use Dansby Swanson on opening day. He's facing Noah Syndergaard, and he is a death saw to all opposing hitters. But we'll want to monitor Swanson's price early on because he could wind up being a value.

Swanson has generally hit second for the Atlanta Braves this spring, the first signal that his price may be a bit too low. The second is he performed well in 145 big-league plate appearances last year, boasting a 34.7% hard-hit rate while walking 9.0% of the time. When you're this price, and you can at least kind of hit while sitting high in the order, you're going to be worth a look in DFS.

This won't apply until the Braves' home opener all the way on April 14th, but we also need to track this team for the potential of a boost in park factor. They're moving to a new crib for 2017, meaning the pitcher-friendly ways of Turner Field are a thing of the past. If the new SunTrust Park can be more conducive to offense in Atlanta's warm temperatures, guys like Swanson, Freddie Freeman, and Matt Kemp could all be in line for some solid production at the dish.
