Fantasy Impact

Jansen is off to a slow start at the plate for the Blue Jays hitting just .152 with one RBI and three runs scored. The 24-year-old catcher has upside but for now fantasy owners may want to replace him in their lineups if there is a better option on the waiver wire.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen had some hype coming into the season as he was one of the better prospects at catcher last year. But he has struggled at the plate to begin the year hitting .147 with one RBI and one runs scored over 10 games. Fantasy owners in standard leagues can move on from Jansen if there is a better option on the waiver wire but for the most part should remain patient with him as he will come around with his hitting.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen looked like a sleeper at catcher for fantasy owners as he enters his first full season with the Blue Jays. But the 23-year-old has struggled to hit just .120 and has yet to hit a homer, drive in a run or score a run. Fantasy owners should be looking at other options on the waiver wire.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen has hit eighth and fifth in his first two appearances so it’s interesting he’s leading off today. Perhaps it’s bexause the Blue Jays are facing lefty Matt Moore. Batting first is certainly a good thing for Jansen’s fantasy value, and he’s a great DFS option today with the platoon advantage.

Fantasy Impact
