REST OF SEASON VALUE

Ranking by ownership percentage (1%), Jake Cave is expected to be the #135 outfielder for the rest of the season. His projection based outfielder rank is #111. While there is value and likely a clear opportunity to acquire him via trade or waiver wire pick up it is probably not worth the roster spot at this time. He is projected for 121 fantasy points in 54 remaining games. He has a lower rank (#135) based on projected fantasy average. The market ranks Jake Cave behind Williamson and above Culberson but the projections rank Jake Cave over Williamson.
