Starter to Avoid for week 17: Johnny Cueto

In 19 games 3B Edwin Encarnacion has three home runs with nine RBI and is hitting .288. He is a viable option for NL-Only leagues for week 17.
Infielder to Avoid: Dan Uggla
In 19 games in July, he is hitting .235, with one home run, and six RBI. His OPS is .644, and has only scored six runs. He has been struggling all year and should be on the bench for week 17.

Over his last 20 games OF David DeJesus is hitting .338, with one home run, and 12 RBI. He has reemerged as a No. 5 Fantasy Outfielder, and is a recommended start.
Over his last 12 games OF Jeff Francoeur is on fire. Over that span, he has two home runs, with 14 RBI, and is hitting an even .300. He is now a viable option for NL-Only leagues for week 17.
Outfielder to Avoid in Week 17: Vernon Wells
Over his last 16 games, despite hitting .308, he only has three home runs, and three RBI. He has been a huge disappointed and should be on the bench for week 17.
Catchers: Ryan Hanigan
Over his last 12 games, he is hitting .333. In his last two years in the minors, he has an OPS of .846 and .810. He is going to get extended playing time with Ramon Hernandez out, and is a great NL-only start for week 17.

Relief Pitchers: George Sherrill
He has converted 20 of 23 save opportunities and the Baltimore Orioles play seven games at home, where Sherrill has been dominate. He has an ERA of 2.66 and is holding opponents to a .195 batting average. Don’t be surprised to see him in another uniform as the new closer.
