Outlook Dylan Crews
Dylan Crews flashes intriguing power but remains a batting average liability for fantasy managers.
Dylan Crews has provided helpful counting stats with two home runs and six RBIs over his last six games, though his .205 average over the past fortnight continues to sting. The fourth-place Nationals (40-38) are monitoring an injury to center fielder Jacob Young, ensuring Crews maintains secure everyday playing time in the outfield.
While Crews' current .200 batting average aligns with his tough career marks, his recent surge of five homers over the past 30 days is a significant leap over his modest 10-homer season projection. Expect this power spike to normalize, but his projected 15 stolen bases make him a helpful speed asset if he can find first base more regularly.
Washington has a full seven-game slate this week, hosting Philadelphia before traveling to Baltimore. Crews will face a mix of vulnerable starters like Aaron Nola (5.89 ERA) and Trevor Rogers (5.48 ERA), making him a viable outfielder option in deeper formats due to the sheer volume of plate appearances. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Cole Carrigg
Cole Carrigg's explosive rookie start brings elite speed and power flashes to Colorado, making him a highly viable weekly option.
Cole Carrigg has made an immediate splash since his June debut, batting .250 with three homers over his first 12 major league games. The last-place Rockies (30-48) are leaning heavily on the rookie with outfielders Brenton Doyle and Mickey Moniak sidelined on the injured list. Carrigg has secured regular playing time, operating as a key daily presence in the Colorado outfield.
Carrigg’s three home runs in 40 at-bats represent a power spike compared to our model's rest-of-season projection of 10 homers. However, his elite minor-league speed—headlined by 30 Triple-A steals before his promotion—suggests his single big-league stolen base is just a starting point. While his .550 slugging percentage may regress, his speed and power profile is legitimate.
The Rockies play six games this week, hosting Boston before visiting Minnesota. Carrigg faces tough assignments in Ranger Suarez (2.93 ERA) and Sonny Gray (3.12 ERA) but gets highly exploitable matchups against Jake Bennett (4.79 ERA) and Zebby Matthews (4.78 ERA). With regular at-bats guaranteed, he is a strong fantasy play. Verdict: Start.
