We are in the first week of April which means it is once again time to guess if this is the year Dexter Fowler finally breaks through. Fowler already has three multi-hit games so maybe this is the year or maybe he’s just toying with our fantasy baseball hearts… again.
Analysis: Dexter Fowler has 6 hits through three games this year which include 2 doubles, 1 triple and 1 home run. He’s leading off for Houston which is great for his run total but there isn’t much pop in the Astro lineup behind him. As mentioned many times before- Fowler has all the raw tools you could ask for but he just hasn’t put it all together yet. He did steal 19 bases and hit 12 home runs last year in just 119 games and he also hit .300 in 2012.
Fowler has 20/20 potential this year and it is certainly a wise decision to pick him up now. He may be on the verge of a huge 2014 campaign or just another borderline fantasy relevant season. Currently, Dexter Fowler is available in 45-55% of fantasy leagues.
