Do you want to learn how to swim away from the sharks? Play daily fantasy baseball over on Fantasy Aces and you’ll be able to start out, learn and win big money in a much more laid back atmosphere where each contest isn’t full of people who play DFS for a living.

These daily fantasy baseball rankings are a supplement to the DFS MLB Playbook. Basically, this is an addition to the Playbook each and every day. Some days players will be out of the lineup, get scratched or are hitting lower in the lineup than expected. Then there are the days that you just don't agree or like a certain player that grades out highly in the Playbook formula. In those instances, you'll want to consult the rankings in order to find the next best player according to our model.
Here are the Daily Fantasy Baseball Rankings for Thursday May 21st:
