Cheat Sheet and Projections

We've reviewed every player from every team to help you make the best selections on Sunday's slate.

Selection Player Salary Proj. Pts Pts/$1K
Stud Tyler Glasnow (LAD, P) $22,980 23.2 1
Value Carlos Rodriguez (MIL, P) $7,840 12.5 1.6
Fade Jason Heyward (LAD, OF) $8,670 3.6 0.4
Cheapie Jordon Adell (LAA, OF) $5,570 6.1 1.1

According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks provide the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're expected to perform well relative to their salary.

Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For those needing to stay under the salary cap, "cheapie" options refer to the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.

In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.

The "Pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.

Conclusion

When building your MLB Sunday teams, consider starting with a value player like Carlos Rodriguez. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Tyler Glasnow is a strong option. If you're seeking budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, take a look at our cheapie options, including Jordon Adell.

On the other hand, according to our model, Jason Heyward is one of the worst value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if entering multiple line-ups.
