3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 5/18/17

Yasiel Puig, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Remember when everyone was excited about Yasiel Puig again after he hit a few bombs the first week of April?

Now people aren't talking as much about Puig, who is batting just .241/.309/.414, although his 7 homers puts him in good position to surpass last year's 11 dingers.

But he isn't anyone to get too excited about these days, particularly now that he's often batting as low as eighth in the order.

Opposing pitcher Edinson Volquez is well worth attacking with Los Angeles Dodgers hitters, but he's striking out right-handed bats 27.3% of the time. He also has historically good batted-ball numbers against them, limiting righties to a career 52.7% ground-ball rate and 27.4% hard-hit rate.

Given the limited options at third base, you can still consider using fellow righty Justin Turner, who has historically shown some reverse-splits, but you're better off skipping Puig.
