Fantasy Baseball Sleepers 2017: Best Outfielder Value Picks

Jackie Bradley Jr., Boston Red Sox

---

Average Draft Position: 35 OF, 121 Overall

---

2016 Stats: .267 AVG, .349 OBP, 94 runs, 26 home runs, 87 RBI, 9 SB

---

2017 Outlook: It's understandable to believe that there might be some regression coming from Bradley. His run total could take a hit with David Ortiz no longer in the middle of the lineup, and his overall numbers in 2016 were significantly worse over the second half.

But honestly, those concerns are built into his price. He's being drafted 15 outfield spots below where he finished last year, when he essentially had the same season as George Springer, who is older and who is being drafted in the third round. Ultimately, Bradley's power isn't expected to regress, the RBI opportunities will be there hitting behind Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Hanley Ramirez, and he's going to contribute good run and steal totals.
