Bryce Harper

For the third time in four seasons, Harper is proving to be a bit of a lag in terms of batting average. Thankfully he chips in solid enough production in the other four fantasy categories to remain a valuable -- if slightly overrated -- fantasy asset.

A wide dissonance remains from what drafters want from Harper and what he typically delivers. With batting averages of .330, .243, .319, and .249 over the last four years, there's a steep range of outcomes for a perennial top pick averaging 32 homers and 11 steals in that stretch. He has hit .255 with a career-low 68.7% contact rate, so investors should be concerned about his ability to return top-25 value. Outside of the batting average, he's still putting up monster counting numbers in the middle of Philadelphia's lineup. He remains an excellent compiler with a terrific batting eye, but he's not the 2015 NL MVP version of Harper anymore.

It is hilarious that an .850 OPS is a major disappointment for someone like Harper. He has actually been solid in fantasy as well thanks to 115 combined RBIs and runs thus far. Sure, the batting average is still low, but overall, no one should be complaining about his production.
