REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK
Expect Michael Brantley to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 80.32 projected fantasy points puts him at #16 behind Starling Marte and ahead of Aristides Aquino. He has averaged 3.37 fantasy points in his past 269 games. Our projected per game average is virtually the same. He is projected to average 3.41 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#13) 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.
