He can be considered overvalued and expect his ranking among 100% owned outfielders to go down. He is projected for 244 fantasy points in 75 remaining games. He has a lower rank (#15) based on projected fantasy average. The market ranks Michael Brantley behind Hoskins and above Harper and the projections agree.
