Fantasy Baseball: Top 10 sleeper hitters for Week 2 begin with Travis Shaw, feature a couple of Padres hitters (2024)

Travis Shaw

BOS • 3B • #23

2017, through Thursday

I don't know why you wouldn't start him with the way he's hitting right now. The Brewers have favorable matchups, and he's one of the few hitters who you don't have to worry about them sitting, even with two lefties on tap.

Yangervis Solarte

ATL • 3B

2016 vs. RHP

Solarte has had a productive first week, and while his contact hitting goes without saying, he has enough pop to take advantage of the three games at Coors Field to open the week. The five righties on tap only help his cause, too.

Mitch Haniger

SEA • CF • #17

2017, through Thursday

Haniger has squeezed about as much production as a player can out of a sub-.200 batting average, showing the variety of ways he can contribute in Fantasy. Let's see what he can do against the bottom feeders of the Rangers and Astros rotations.

Jose Reyes

NYM • 3B • #7

2016 season

Reyes showed how dangerous he could be as the Mets leadoff hitter last year and should feast on some tasty matchups against pitchers like Clay Buchholz, Wei-Yin Chen and Edinson Volquez.

Hunter Renfroe

KC • RF • #16

2017, through Thursday

With a homer and a double in consecutive games, Renfroe's power stroke is warmed up for a three-game set at Coors Field, followed by a series against the Braves' homer-prone staff.

Mike Moustakas

CHW • 3B

2017, through Thursday

The left-handed slugger looks healthy and could send a couple more over a the fence with a full week against righties like Andrew Triggs, Raul Alcantara and Ricky Nolasco.

Joe Panik

MIA • 2B • #12

2017, through Thursday

The Giants are one of just a few teams playing seven games, including four against the Rockies rotation. Now past the fog of last year's concussion, Panik is a natural .300 hitter and is showing it early.

Ryan Zimmerman

WAS • 1B • #11

2017, through Thursday

After a couple of injury-plagued years, Zimmerman has followed a big spring with a strong start to the season. Seeing as he's only 32, the former Fantasy mainstay deserves a second look.

Gerardo Parra

WAS • LF • #88

2017, through Thursday

Singles don't count for much in Fantasy, but when you get them at the rate Parra has, spring training included, good things can happen in a seven-game week, especially since three of those games are home against the Padres patchwork staff.

Scott Schebler

COL • RF • #44

2016 vs. RHP

The left-handed-hitting Schebler could so some real damage with a favorable slate that includes six right-handers. He showed his potential with a .329 batting average, seven homers and .901 OPS in 155 at-bats down the stretch last year.
