Evan Longoria (3B, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues

ANALYSIS: At least judging by wRC+, Evan Longoria hasn't logged an above-average offensive season since 2016, back when he was still with the Tampa Bay Rays.  But so far in 2021, Longoria has produced a 134 wRC+, good for his best season by that measure since all the way back in 2012.

In 112 plate appearances, Longoria has slashed .263/.375/.474 with four home runs, 17 runs scored, and 14 RBI.  The most recent of Longoria's four homers came on April 13, and he has only three extra-base hits (all doubles) in May, so there could be some concern that the power production was a brief fluke to start the year.  However, Longoria's .211 isolated power to go with his .399 xwOBA (as compared to a .366 actual wOBA) indicate that the round-trippers, or at least plenty of extra-base hits, should return.  Furthermore, Longoria's .561 xSLG, good for the 92nd percentile across the majors, is a full 87 points higher than the actual number.  Longoria is also posting a career-high 15.2 percent walk rate, which is the biggest reason his OBP has reached a career-high number and should give Longoria a very safe fantasy floor even in less power-driven streaks.

Consistently batting in the middle of the Giants' first-place lineup, Longoria should continue to be a very solid under-the-radar producer.  He should be added in fantasy leagues with 12 teams or more.
