​Shane Bieber, Cleveland Indians

Start: June 3rd at Kansas City Royals
ESPN percentage owned: 51.6%

We'll spare you the Justin jokes and cut right to the chase: rookie Shane Bieber has been shoving it for the Cleveland Indians. His scant 24.1 innings of work have been positively electric, with a 2.22 ERA, 2.68 fielding independent pitching (FIP), and a strikeout-minus-walk rate of 22.3%.

Granted, the 23-year-old hasn't exactly faced stiff competition, with two starts against the middling Minnesota Twins, one against the ailing Detroit Tigers, and his latest against the recently improved but not exactly world-beating St. Louis Cardinals. Thing is, the competition doesn't get any stiffer in Week 14, with Bieber squaring off against a Royals offense that has been missing in action, compiling a league-worst .562 group OPS against righties in June.

Whether or not Bieber can be this good for the long haul is beside the point: he should be much, much closer to universal ownership in fantasy leagues this week.
