REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK
Expect J.D. Martinez to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 148.7 projected fantasy points puts him at #6 behind Anthony Rizzo and ahead of Paul Goldschmidt. He has averaged 3.78 fantasy points in his past 253 games, which is slightly more than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 3.54 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#4) is better 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. J.D. Martinez is expected to slightly improve on this season-to-date's #9 fantasy position rank.
