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.

2019 FANTASY OUTLOOK AND PROJECTION: LOOKING GOOD

Mike Trout is projected to be the best fantasy outfielder in the upcoming season. In 2018, he was owned in 100 percent of leagues and it will be at least this high next season as well. He is projected to average 4.15 fantasy points per game in 151 games. His projected rank for the upcoming season is up slightly from where he finished last season.

SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND

Mike Trout was the #9 ranked fantasy player this season and the #3 OF. Trout did not show a clear upward or downward trend as the season progressed. He averaged 4 FPs in his first 45 games, 3.9 in the middle of his season and 3.8 in his final 3.8 games. Based on a relatively low standard deviation, Trout can be considered a consistent fantasy player. He averaged 3.9 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 19 fantasy points.

CURRENT CAREER TREND AND STATISTICS

His fantasy point average held steady over the past 2 seasons.

WEEKLY FANTASY RECAP

He has averaged 22 fantasy points per week and had 5 weeks where he exceeded that by 50% and 4 'bad' weeks where he came up 50% short of his average.

DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP

He averaged 14 FD points and 10.3 DK points per game. We looked at all of his games that were between the 10th and 90th percentile where the 10th percentile is his floor and the 90th is his ceiling. When he was bad in DFS, he was really bad with a floor of zero points. He had a relatively high ceiling. On DraftKings it was 20 and on FanDuel it was 27.5 FPs. He has had more bad FanDuel games (below average by 20%) than good games (20% above average), and the same was true on DraftKings. We are only including games where they were in the daily fantasy slate and played.
