​Jeremy Hellickson, Washington Nationals

Starts: May 8th at San Diego Padres, May 13th at Arizona Diamondbacks
ESPN percentage owned: 3.4%

Jeremy Hellickson certainly doesn't scream fantasy appeal, what with his minuscule 16.1% strikeout rate and his short leash with Washington Nationals manager Davey Martinez, who hasn't allowed the 31-year-old righty to finish the sixth inning in any of his four starts this season.

Still, Hellickson's slim 4.5% walk rate and 26.6% hard-hit rate have allowed him to certify his impressive 3.00 ERA with a respectable 3.74 FIP. Desperate steamers might want to have Hellickson on their radar for his two-step in the pitcher-friendly confines of Petco Park and the humidored Chase Field. He projects to be, at the very least, a WHIP asset in deeper leagues.
