Corey Dickerson, OF, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Corey Dickerson has been cold as ice recently, going hitless in his last 24 at-bats.

Why You Should Use Him:

If Dickerson is going to turn his season around, tonight's as good of a matchup as he's going to get. The powerful left-hander will face righty Cory Rasmus, who has a 5.64 SIERA this season, as well as a career 49.3 percent fly-ball rate.

Dickerson absolutely mashes against righties, as evidenced by the fact that 40 of his 44 career homers have come against right-handed pitchers. He's boosted his stats across the board against righties, but his hard-hit percentage is likely the most telling. Against lefties, Dickerson has just a 23.4 career hard-hit percentage. That number jumps to a very impressive 38.8 percent against righties, though.

Dickerson should go nowhere near your cash game lineups, but he offers unique upside at such a low price.
