Paul DeJong Fantasy

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong has been on fire this spring and he stayed hot on Tuesday, going 2-for-3 with a run scored in a Grapefruit League win over the Houston Astros. DeJong is hitting .571 with an 1.850 OPS about halfway through Spring Training. He's one of the streakiest hitters in baseball and while he can be frustrating to play in fantasy lineups when he's cold, his hot streaks usually more than make up for it. He's worth drafting and starting in all formats, although a strong backup shortstop could be a useful bench piece for DeJong's inevitable extended cold streaks.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong will try and shake loose from a sluggish second half of his season when the team opens up their playoff hunt against the Braves on Thursday. DeJong hit only .202 after the All-Star break and is hitting only .145 over his last 55 at-bats. DeJong, however, could surprise in Atlanta for Game 1. 20 of DeJong's 30 home runs this season have come on the road and the talented infielder can go on hot streaks. He will be a risky option, however, in fantasy to begin the postseason.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for him. Yairo Munoz will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Tyler Mahle. Munoz has been average with the bat for awhile, so he doesn't have much DFS appeal here.
