Fantasy Impact:

Zack Cozart has occupied the 8 spot in the Cincinnati lineup for the majority of the past three seasons, and for good reason. Cozart is coming off a dreadful 2014 season in which he batted .221, knocked in only 38 runs, and homered just 4 times in 147 games. The 2015 expectations for Cozart were non-existent as most fans and fantasy owners were looking forward to the arrival of Eugenio Suarez, who the Reds acquired in the Alfredo Simon deal from Detroit. Suarez failed to make the big league club following a mediocre spring and the shortstop position again belonged to Cozart. Zack Cozart has been nothing short of remarkable over the first two weeks of the season as he is hitting .368, leading the Reds along with all NL shortstops. Cozart has added a home run, 4 runs, and 2 RBI’s. Zack Cozart remains dirt cheap in all DFS formats and should be considered when short on salary.
