Brian McCann, C, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $3,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Wait, there's another player that's catcher-eligible for the New York Yankees? While Gary Sanchez garners a majority of the attention -- and rightfully so with his 1.361 OPS -- Brian McCann continues to float under the radar despite strong peripherals.

Why You Should Use Him:

McCann and the Yankees will face Edinson Volquez at Kauffman Stadium. Volquez has really struggled as of late. He allowed a 42.1% hard-hit rate in July and a 37.0% hard-hit rate in August.

McCann, meanwhile, has logged the 30th-best hard-hit rate in all of baseball over the last two weeks (42.9%), going for double digit FanDuel points in 5 of his last 10 contests.

McCann has actually been better in 2016 away from Yankee Stadium, seeing a jump in OPS and ISO of exactly 35 points each. During his career, McCann has enjoyed success against Volquez. He has faced him 17 teams and has an .886 OPS against him.

Even with an implied team total of only 3.95 for the Yankees, McCann should be on your radar.
