Austin Jackson

Austin Jackson starting for Indians versus Royals

Cleveland Indians outfielder Austin Jackson is starting against the Kansas City Royals on Friday.

What It Means:

With the Indians going for their 23rd consecutive win, Jackson will start in left field and bat second versus Royals left-hander Jason Vargas while Lonnie Chisenhall sits out with tightness in his calf. He went 1-for-4 on Tuesday in his last start.

As heavy favorites with a strong implied total (5.22 runs), the Indians' lineup is worth targeting in terms of fantasy production. numberFire's models project Jackson to score 10.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200.
