Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews went 2-for-3 including a home run and a double, along with a walk, two RBI, two runs scored, and two stolen bases in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Pirates in Game 1 of their doubleheader. The 22-year-old has held his own since being called up, with six of his 10 hits going for extra bases and he's stolen five bases in just 11 games. Perhaps even more impressive is that he's struck out just once over the last six games (28 plate appearances). Hopefully he can stay productive throughout the fantasy playoffs as well and he's surely going to be a multi-category producer in 2025.
Washington Nationals outfield prospect Dylan Crews is once again in the leadoff spot as the Nationals continue a three-game set against the Chicago Cubs. The Nationals have slotted their former second-overall pick to the top of the lineup in each of the past three games. In his first two games at the big league level, he batted in the two and the seven-hole. The LSU product has tallied a hit in all but one of his first four big league games and sits with an overall .313/.353/.813 line. He has gone deep twice and swiped one bag. Fantasy managers should check their waiver wire to make sure Crews is not available, as he is shaping up to be a league-winner down the stretch. DFS players should consider putting the 22-year-old into their lineup as he will face Chicago right-hander Javier Assad, who allowed six hits and three earned runs in his previous start.

The 22-year-old top prospect is flashing five-category tendencies during the infant stages of his big-league career, going 4-for-11 with two runs scored and a stolen base in three games, and Crews should be rostered for this upside in the majority of fantasy leagues down the stretch.

The 22-year-old former second overall pick last year out of LSU hit a combined .270/.342/.451 with 13 home runs and 25 stolen bases with Double-A Harrisburg and Rochester this year to earn his first big-league promotion. Crews figures to be here to stay and should see regular playing time to close out the 2024 season with the Nats out of playoff contention. The club's top prospect and No. 3 in baseball, per MLB Pipeline, has the ability to contribute across all categories and should already be rostered in all fantasy formats.
Washington Nationals top prospect Dylan Crews is expected to be called up from Triple-A Rochester to make his major-league debut on Monday at Nationals Park against the New York Yankees.

The 22-year-old outfielder should play regularly for the out-of-contention Nationals and has the ability to contribute immediately in all fantasy formats across multiple categories. Per MLB Pipeline, Crews is ranked as the third-best prospect in all of baseball, behind only Jackson Holliday and Junior Caminero. Pick him up immediately off the waiver wire if he's available.

Currently the No. 3 prospect in all of baseball (per MLB.com), Crews will likely assume the top spot once Jackson Holliday and Junior Caminero graduate from prospect status.

The performance should inch him closer to a big-league debut, which is still expected to happen before the season is over. The former first-round draft pick now has a .265-6-20-26-7 line in 40 Triple-A games this season and has the potential to be a multi-category contributor when he finally makes it to the big leagues.
