Charlie Blackmon News
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is on the bench for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers with left-handed opener Caleb Ferguson on the mound. With Blackmon out, Kris Bryant is serving as the designated hitter and batting third, while Sean Bouchard is in right field and in the seven-hole against Ferguson. The veteran Blackmon has hit a strong .276 (92-for-333) on the year for the Rockies, but with just seven home runs, 38 RBI, two stolen bases and 53 runs scored. The 37-year-old left-handed hitter also has no home runs against southpaws in 2023 while hitting .277 (23-for-83) against them. The four-time All-Star's bat has cooled off considerably in the final month of the regular season as well.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants. The 37-year-old will take a seat in the opening game while Elehuris Montero serves as the Rockies' DH against San Francisco opener Keaton Winn. Blackmon has quietly been highly productive this season for both the Rockies and fantasy managers, slashing .279/.369/.433 with seven home runs, 36 RBI, and one stolen base over 355 plate appearances. He's only played in 82 games, however, as injuries have taken their toll on the veteran. Blackmon should return as the DH in Game 2 of Saturday's twin bill.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the club's starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zach Davies. The longtime Rockie hit leadoff on Tuesday night while going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run, and an RBI on the evening, the latter of which provided the eventual game-winning run in a tight 3-2 victory. While Blackmon doesn't possess the same elite power/speed combination that he used to, he's had a nice season that's seen him hit .284 with seven homers, one steal, a 10.3% BB%, and an .819 OPS across 330 trips to the plate. Furthermore, he sports a tiny 12.4% K% which is easily a career-high and well below his 16.7% career figure.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon has been fading fast from both a fantasy and real life perspective over the past couple years. Last season was the worst season he's had since he first became a fantasy mainstay in 2014. Over 150 games last year, he slashed .270/.351/.411 with 13 home runs, 78 RBI and 76 runs. His .292 xBA suggests that he was a bit unlucky overall, but an increased batting average would only go so far in salvaging Blackmon's fantasy value. The 35-year-old was a fantasy gem when he was a threat for 30 home runs, a lock for double-digit steals and a sure thing for strong counting stats while leading off for a potent Rockies offense. Blackmon is no longer leading off. And despite the advantage of Coors Field, the Rockies were a middling offense last year. They should also take a step back offensively in 2022, assuming their top hitter from last year, Trevor Story, signs elsewhere. Finally, Blackmon is no longer a stolen base threat (just three last year) and his power potential has faded. While 20 home runs is within reach, don't expect much more than that. Blackmon currently has an ADP just outside the top-200 and even that may be a tad too high. Batting average is really the only stat that fantasy managers can be confident Blackmon will be a strong contributor in.
