Tyler Flowers, C, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Friday sees a bunch of good options at catcher, including Gary Sanchez in Camden Yards and Jonathan Lucroy hitting in the friendly confines of GlobeLife Park.

Taking hacks against Ivan Nova of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who only allowed a 27.7% fly ball rate in 2016, Tyler Flowers of the Atlanta Braves won't be on many radars.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Flowers sees a tough matchup, he was a beast at home against righties last year, racking up a .915 OPS and 146 wRC+. The Braves have moved to a new yard, but the backstop has shown positive splits against righties regardless of where he is, racking up a hard-hit rate of 46.1% in 2016.

If you're paying up in other parts of your roster and are looking to save some money at catcher, this would be a viable punt.
