ANALYSIS: Jayson Werth got off to a miserable start this season. His average remains an uninspiring .202, but his other numbers have picked up big time--Werth has six homers on the season along with 19 RBI and 16 runs scored. He has 11 RBI since April 29th, with half of his homers coming in that span of time. The Nationals are a strong offense, and with Bryce Harper getting the Barry Bonds treatment, Werth will get many more RBI chances.

The average will hopefully improve, but if you have other players to offset the average drain you'll take the production in other categories. 20 dingers and 80 RBI are not out of the realm of possibility, even given Werth's age. He's still widely available, and he has a favorable matchup against the Tigers' pitching staff starting on Monday. Grab him where available if you need some outfield help.
