BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 229
CURRENT ADP: ~252
ANALYSIS: Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu had an abysmal start to the 2023 season. He had a .212 batting average with one home run, 23 RBI, and eight doubles across the first 60 games. Then, something flipped for Abreu. Over the final 81 games, he hit .255 with 17 HRs, 67 RBI, and 15 doubles. The end of the season was much better for the veteran, and that could help him provide solid fantasy numbers in 2024.
The first baseman will also likely be hitting behind players like Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker, which should lead to more RBI chances. He could put up over 20 HRs and 85 RBI this season. ATC projections are on board with this assessment and project Abreu to mash 18 home runs and log 79 RBI over 582 plate appearances. Abreu has an NFBC ADP of 287 and could easily hit value at that price tag, making him a solid pick in the later rounds of upcoming fantasy drafts.
