BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Adding Isiah Kiner-Falefa in fantasy isn't as sexy as some top prospects, but the 28-year-old super-utility man has been surprisingly productive over the past two months. Since the calendar turned to May, Kiner-Falefa-Falefa is slashing .267/.306/.457 with all five of his homers on the season.

His numbers overall still look bad, but a gross .445 OPS in April is still dragging those numbers down. He posted a .797 OPS in May and had a .721 mark in June, to go along with decent counting stats. He plays all over the field for the Yankees, and that eligibility makes him even more useful in fantasy, where he remains widely available.
