Justin Verlander's Fantasy Scouting Report
DAILY FANTASY PROJECTIONS AND PLAY OR FADE ADVICE For each platform we calculate a position specific points per dollar and our projection says he is a better value on DraftKings than on FanDuel. He is projected for 42.7 FD points and is worth -$261 less than $12K on FD. On DK he is projected for 24.3 points and is worth +$688 more than $12.8K. Below are how he ranks based on projected fantasy points on both DFS platforms. Look for players with more FPs at lower salaries. These projections power SportsLine's Computer Picks and Fantasy Data. But for contest winning DFS optimal lineups by top experts like Mike McClure visit SportsLine's new Daily Fantasy Hub. REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK Based on our latest projection, you can expect Justin Verlander to be an elite fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 25.61 projected fantasy points puts him ahead of Max Scherzer making him our #1 ranked starting pitcher. He has averaged 8.1 fantasy points in his past 65 games, which is slightly less than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 8.54 fantasy points. His rank based on average projected points is the same as his rank based on total fantasy points. At 98% ownership, he is also the #1 most highly owned starting pitcher. He is also currently the #1 ranked starting pitcher. WEEK 26 AND 27 FANTASY OUTLOOK Justin Verlander is projected for 16.37 fantasy points in 2 games the rest of the week which is good enough to be the #1 ranked starting pitcher and a must start for most owners. He is the highest ranked starting pitcher the rest of the week, ahead of Patrick Corbin. Week 27 will not be as good based on projected rank (#5). He is projected for 9.23 fantasy points. FANTASY PROJECTIONS AND ACTUAL STATS The tables below show projected stats (totals and averages) for the rest of the season and upcoming weeks. Also included are actual stats from the current and last season.
