As you may have noticed we have transformed Scout into a data and stats driven service geared towards helping invested fans make the right decisions on a daily basis. This is our new Fantasy Scouting Report that we produce for each fantasy relevant player. We treat them like a stock and report their value in season long fantasy, the current fantasy week, and if applicable, on FanDuel and on DraftKings. We establish what is expected of the player based on fantasy ownership %, start %, and DFS Salary and see if our proprietary forecasting model projects a better or worse than expected performance. For complete recaps of the best and worst values for each market (season, weekly, daily), injury reports and team outlooks be sure to check out the new Scout.
DAILY FANTASY PROJECTIONS AND PLAY OR FADE ADVICE
He is projected for 11.3 FanDuel points and 8.4 points on DraftKings. Based on the player pool average points per dollar he is coming up -$45 short of $4.3K on FanDuel and -$375 short of $5.3K on DraftKings. Their should be much better options (see below). Barring a significant lineup change consider him a daily fantasy player to fade. Below are how he ranks based on projected fantasy points on both DFS platforms. Look for players with more FPs at lower salaries.

REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK
Expect Freddie Freeman to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 78.78 projected fantasy points puts him at #7 behind Cody Bellinger and ahead of Yulieski Gurriel. He has averaged 3.62 fantasy points in his past 299 games, which is slightly more than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 3.38 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#9) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. He is owned in 100% of fantasy leagues so everyone expects him to be an elite first baseman. He is projected to be very good, but not one of the very best at his position. Freddie Freeman is expected to come up short of this season-to-date's #2 fantasy position rank.
