​Trevor Richards, Miami Marlins

Starts: April 15th vs. Chicago Cubs, April 21st vs. Washington Nationals
ESPN ownership: 14%

Given that so many fantasy owners find themselves hungry for starting pitcher depth, it's a surprise to see one of the year's early breakouts still unclaimed in the majority of ESPN leagues. Trevor Richards' ownership should spike in a hurry, with the Miami Marlins starter representing one of the few appealing two-start streamers in Week 3.

Granted, the matchups aren't exactly cake walks, but the cavernous Marlins Park should provide a nice safety net for Richards against the talented Cubs and Nationals squads. So too should Richards' phenomenal changeup, which has been the most effective changeup in the Major Leagues, per Fangraphs' pitch values.

Even if Richards' pristine 2.00 ERA takes a hit against these tough offenses, the sophomore righty is in a nice spot to provide quality production for needy fantasy owners.
