Austin Riley News
Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in the team's 6-4 loss against the Texas Rangers on Sunday night. Riley was off to a poor at the plate on Sunday before bringing in Ronald Acuna Jr. on an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning. The third baseman is now slashing .259/.323/.447 with two home runs, 13 RBI, and six doubles atop the Braves' lineup through 20 games to start the season. He has also totaled at least one hit in 12 of the last 14 games. The 27-year-old will continue to be a must-start player in fantasy.
Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley launched his second home run of the season to power the Braves to a series sweep over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Riley was held without a hit until the eighth inning when he launched a two-run shot to center field off Miguel Castro to score Ozzie Albies. The 27-year-old came into Sunday's game with a strong .258/.303/.452 stat line. Riley should continue to hit cleanup, as he has done all season for one of the best lineups in baseball, making him an elite option in both season-long and DFS formats. Riley and Braves will host their division rival, the New York Mets, for a four-game set beginning on Monday, with Julio Teheran scheduled to start for the opposition in the series opener.
Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. Riley mashed a pitch from reliever Dominic Leone to right-center field for a three-run homer to blow the game open for the Braves. For the year now through four games, Riley owns a triple-slash line of .294/.368/.588 with five RBI. Look for Riley to continue his dominance at the third base position as he mashes and produces in a stacked Braves lineup. It's another excellent start to the season for Riley, and he looks primed for another productive fantasy season.

The past three seasons look a lot alike for the Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley. The durable power hitter has played 160-159-159 games the last three seasons, and he's produced 179-168-179 hits during that stretch. His BB totals were 52-57-59, while his K totals were 168-168-172. The 2x All-Star hit between 33 and 38 HR and drove in 93 to 107 runs. Other stats, like xBA, WOBA, Contact%, and SwStr%, also had little variance. The one category that spiked was runs scored, from 90 in '22 to 117 in '23; the one category he won't produce for you is SB, with a career-high three swipes last season. So, it is no surprise that his FGDC projection for 2024 looks similar: .275-36-112-99-3 with a WOBA of .366 and wRC+ of 129. The only third baseman drafted ahead of him is Jose Ramirez, who collected 28 SB in '23. Other options going around him at his NFBC ADP of 21 (RotoBaller rank of 20), such as Yordan Alvarez and Corey Seager, offer potentially more explosive power output numbers but have availability concerns (131 GP on average for Alvarez's last three seasons, 122 GP for Seager). If consistent, reliable fantasy production is what you're looking for, Riley is your man.
