REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK
Expect Michael Brantley to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 82.13 projected fantasy points puts him at #17 behind Eddie Rosario and ahead of Adam Eaton. He has averaged 3.38 fantasy points in his past 268 games. Our projected per game average is virtually the same. He is projected to average 3.36 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#15) 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 outfielder. He is not projected for elite value. Michael Brantley is expected to come up short of this season-to-date's #8 fantasy position rank.
