SHORT TERM FANTASY OUTLOOK AND WEEKLY RANKINGS

Giovanny Urshela is projected for 19.29 fantasy points in 7 games which is good enough to be the #10 ranked third baseman and a must start for most owners. This is projected to be a better than average week with more fantasy points per game than he is projected to average per game the rest of the season. He is ranked above Josh Donaldson but behind Kyle Seager. Week 4 will not be as good based on projected rank (#17). He is projected for 15.6 fantasy points.

REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK

Expect Giovanny Urshela to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 391.06 projected fantasy points puts him at #21 behind Asdrubal Cabrera and ahead of Evan Longoria. He has averaged 2.89 fantasy points in his past 128 games. Our projected per game average is virtually the same. He is projected to average 2.75 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#40) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. He is slightly overrated if you compare his ownership based rank with his projection rank. At 58%, he is the #20 most highly owned third baseman. Giovanny Urshela is expected to come up short of last season's #17 fantasy position rank.
