Nolan Jones is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 17 (2023). Target Jones as a free agent first baseman or outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: A revelation for the Rockies, Nolan Jones continues to rake since his late-May call-up. He's slashing .293/.379/.504 with six home runs and five doubles over 38 games this season. Jones has established himself as a middle-of-the-order fixture in Colorado's lineup, and it's unlikely the changes the rest of the way. His advanced metrics indicate some regression may be on the way, but Jones also has the benefit of calling Coors Field home, and that's not something to overlook.

Even if he is overperforming somewhat, Jones' underlying numbers still look good. He carries a .478 xSLG, 91.1 MPH average exit velocity, .355 xwOBA, and 11.7% barrel rate. There's enough evidence that Jones can continue being a prominent producer for the Rockies.
