Charlie Blackmon News
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's afternoon contest against the visiting San Diego Padres. It's not surprising to see the club give the veteran a spell in an afternoon game following an evening game on Wednesday in which Blackmon led off as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his club's 5-2 loss. The 37-year-old is off to a sluggish start this season, hitting .228 with one homer, one stolen base, and a .659 OPS across 86 trips to the plate. At this point, Blackmon's power and speed just aren't there and he should be left on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats, including NL-only leagues.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Rockies' manager Bud Black said Blackmon is feeling under the weather, so they will hold him out of this contest. The expectation is that this will be a one-game absence for the veteran outfielder. In the meantime, Kris Bryant will function as the designated hitter, while Elehuris Montero covers first base versus right-hander Kevin Gausman on Friday.
Colorado Rockies outfielders Kris Bryant and Charlie Blackmon will both take a seat for Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It appears to be a regular off day for both veteran players. Bryant was hitless through his first three games of 2024, striking out a whopping seven times across 12 plate appearances. Blackmon fared a bit better, going 3-for-11 with three RBI and a stolen base. Bryant and Blackmon are not the fantasy stalwarts they once were, but both possess discounted upside and Coors Field exposure. In their absence, Jake Cave is starting in right field while Michael Toglia will man first base.

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.
