Jarren Duran is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 16 (2023). Target Wiemer as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jarren Duran is another player whose stock has taken a noticeable bump lately. He's hit safely in six consecutive starts, including a five-hit, four-double performance against the Blue Jays on Sunday. Duran is slashing a fantastic .319/.365/.520 with a 131 wRC+ for the season. He's worked his way back into Boston's leadoff spot and appears to be a fixture there for the foreseeable future.

Looking under the hood, Duran carries some encouraging metrics. That includes an impressive .271 xBA, 47.2% hard-hit rate, and 90.2 MPH average exit velocity. He's only managed five home runs and, realistically, isn't likely to experience a power surge. Still, Duran brings elite sprint speed, and that's paid off in the form of 33 extra-base hits and 17 stolen bases. Look for Duran to continue producing in a variety of ways.
