Chris Owings (2B, SS, OF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 55% of Yahoo leagues

ANALYSIS: Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Chris Owings has five extra-base hits in 53 plate appearances this season and his ability to play all over the diamond makes him very interesting for fantasy owners. Owings has a .280 batting average this season, slugging a home run and stealing a base while playing second base and the outfield for the Diamondbacks.

Owings stole 21 bases in 2016 and slugged 12 home runs in 2017, so if he can combine the two in 2018, he would an asset in deep leagues. While Chase Field will likely be depressed a bit by the humidor, the Diamondbacks do still have a strong offense, and Owings is hitting 5th and 6th mostly, a decent lineup spot.

With a nice power-speed combo, and multi-position eligibility, Owings could be a poor man's Chris Taylor. His ownership should slowly increase as he continues to have a big role in the offense in Arizona.
