N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos went 0-for-4 on Wednesday and is 15-for-90 with a 29/4 K/BB ratio in his last 24 games.

Castellanos had a .970 OPS before his 24-game slump. He's at .799 right now. Especially since he's a liability defensively in right field, Castellanos needs to hit better than this in order to help the Reds. It seems like a given now than he won't be opting out of the final three years and $48 million on his contract after the season.

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos hit a solo homer in the first inning of the Reds' win over the White Sox on Friday.

Castellanos hit the first of four homers the Reds would hit off of Jonathan Stiever, with his a solo shot in the first. It's his first homer since September 6, but the former slugger for the Tigers and (briefly) the Cubs has hit 13 homers on the 2020 with 30 RBI and a .516 slugging percentage in his first season with Cincinnati.

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos launched his 12th home run of the season on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to power the Reds past the Pirates.

Castellanos crushed a two-run shot off of Chad Kuhl in the third inning, giving the Reds an early 2-0 lead. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the game though. Castellanos also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the afternoon 1-for-3. He has slowed after a monstrous start, but is still slashing a healthy .243/.333/.563 with 12 homers and 27 RBI.

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos homered, doubled and singled Thursday in the first game of the doubleheader versus the Brewers.

The homer was Castellanos's 10th in 29 games this year. He'd be on pace to obliterate his career high of 27 homers from last year if they were playing 162 games this season.

Added Aug 27 8:45 pm (EST)

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in the second game of a doubleheader on Wednesday against the Royals.

Castellanos extended the Reds' lead to 4-0 with a solo homer off of Greg Holland. it's already the ninth homer of the season for the outfielder, and he's driven in an even 20 runs. Castellanos has slowed a bit in terms of hitting for average, but with that homer and a single, he's now hitting .272/.352/.691, and it's tough to complain about that kind of slash.

Added Aug 19 10:07 pm (EST)

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos launched a three-run blast for his eighth homer of the year Friday against the Pirates.

Castellanos is now tied with Fernando Tatis, Jr. and J.T. Realmuto for the National League lead in the category. He actually came into Friday’s action without a homer over his last five games during which he went just 2-for-21. Perhaps this will get him going again. Either way, he’s off to a monster start in Cincy.

Added Aug 14 10:30 pm (EST)

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos stayed hot Friday, slugging his seventh homer of the season while knocking in three runs as the Reds topped the Brewers.

Castellanos went 2-for-5 on the night while scoring a pair of runs. He collected an RBI double in the Reds’ six-run second inning before slugging a two-run blast to right-center field in the sixth. He’s now tied with the Yankees’ Aaron Judge for the MLB home run lead and is just one behind Judge for a share of the RBI lead. We were pretty excited about the prospect of Castellanos in Cincy, but he’s outdoing even the most optimistic of expectations.

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos hit his sixth homer of the season Tuesday off the Indians' Shane Bieber.

Castellanos was a good bet to be an RBI machine in Cincinnati, but six homers in 11 games is certainly beyond expectations. It looks like he's the team's No. 3 hitter for now after spending the first week alternating between the fourth and fifth spots. That'll help in the runs scored department, though he's mostly been driving in himself thus far.

Added Aug 04 9:44 pm (EST)

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos homered twice with three RBI in a 4-3 win over the Tigers in seven innings during game one of Sunday's doubleheader.

A former member of the Tigers, Castellanos had just one multi-homer game in his many years with the club in Comerica Park. It did not take him long to get his first with the Reds. With the two homers, Castellanos now has four homers on the season, and both came off of an ineffective Rony Garcia in the first three innings. The 28-year-old also made a defensive mistake that cost the Reds a 3-0 lead, but you take the good with the bad, and in fantasy terms, it didn't hurt you at all. In his first year with Cincinnati, Castellanos now is hitting .393/.469/.929 over 28 at-bats with 11 RBI. Can't do much better than that.

Added Aug 02 4:52 pm (EST)

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk Wednesday against the Cubs.

The slam off Rex Brothers was the fifth of his career. Castellanos has two homers and eight RBI already. He's a threat to lead the NL in RBI this season, depending on how good of a job the guys ahead of him do at getting on base.

Added Jul 29 10:28 pm (EST)

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos had a two-run homer and a double versus the Cubs in Tuesday's loss.

Castellanos hit fifth, rather than fourth, for the second time in five games this season. He is hitting cleanup against lefties, but it seems the team wants to break up the righties in the third and fourth spots when right-handers are on the mount. That's a little disappointing from a fantasy perspective, but it's hardly a dealbreaker.

Added Jul 28 10:46 pm (EST)

N/A

N. Castellanos - RF

CIN

Nick Castellanos (back) is in the Reds' lineup Tuesday for their exhibition game against the Tigers.

Castellanos was left with some tingling in his fingers after being hit in the back by a pitch during an intrasquad game on Friday, but he downplayed any concerns on Monday. Barring a setback, expect him to be in there on Opening Day.

S. Watkins - WR

Sammy Watkins caught 7-of-8 targets for 62 yards in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Ravens.

Watkins' eight targets led the team on a night he was cleared to play through a concussion and neck issue after leaving Week 2 early. In his two games he's played start to finish, Watkins has drawn 17 targets and caught a touchdown. He's paying off his summer ADP to this point as the clear No. 2 wideout. Watkins was also stopped inside the three-yard line in this one, setting up an Eric Fisher touchdown catch. Watkins will be a tough Week 4 play against the Patriots.

M. Andrews - TE

BAL

Mark Andrews caught 3-of-8 targets for 22 yards in the Ravens' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.

Andrews was flattened a couple times on seam shots down the middle and even came up limping on one of the missed connections. His eight targets led the team, but nobody did anything with Lamar Jackson throwing for just 97 yards. Andrews also watched blocking TE Nick Boyle catch a short score in the fourth quarter. Andrews should rebound next week against Washington.

M. Hardman - WR

Mecole Hardman caught 4-of-6 targets for 81 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Ravens.

Hardman came into this one with just three catches for 26 yards on four targets, but he played ahead of Demarcus Robinson against Baltimore and was the recipient of an incredible 49-yard touchdown throw from Patrick Mahomes on a deep shot. Hardman has mouthwatering upside, but he needs to start playing consistent offensive snaps.

M. Brown - WR

BAL

Marquise Brown caught just 2-of-6 targets for 13 yards in the Ravens' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.

Brown could have easily had a much bigger night, but Lamar Jackson played terribly and missed Brown on what should have been a long touchdown in the second half with an ugly under-throw after Brown smoked the defensive back off the line. Brown has yet to find the end zone three weeks into the year, but he's seen a promising six targets per game in a low-volume passing attack. Brown gets an enticing Week 4 date with Washington.

T. Hill - WR

Tyreek Hill caught 5-of-6 targets for 77 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Ravens.

Hill now has a touchdown catch in all three games to open the season but has yet to eclipse the 100-yard barrier in any of the wins. Hill's second-quarter touchdown came from 20 yards out on a sick throw-and-catch combo with Patrick Mahomes, beating the defense over the top. Hill has 23 targets through three weeks and will remain an elite upside WR1 next week against the Patriots in a tough matchup with Stephon Gilmore.

J. Dobbins - RB

BAL

J.K. Dobbins rushed one time for six yards in the Ravens' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.

He caught all four of his targets for 38 yards to lead the Ravens in receiving on a night Lamar Jackson threw for just 97 yards. Dobbins has just three carries over the last two weeks after scoring twice in the opener. He simply can't be used in 12-team leagues as a fantasy starter right now, even ahead of a tasty Week 4 date with Washington.

T. Kelce - TE

Travis Kelce caught 6-of-7 targets for 87 yards in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Ravens.

Kelce led the Chiefs in receiving and was second on the team in targets, trailing Sammy Watkins' eight. Kelce just wasn't part of the fun in the end zone, failing to catch any of Patrick Mahomes' four touchdowns. Kelce has at least 87 yards or a touchdown in each of the first three games and gets a difficult Week 4 draw against the Patriots.

M. Ingram - RB

BAL

Mark Ingram rushed seven times for 30 yards in the Ravens' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.

He failed to catch his lone target in the pass game. Ingram led the Ravens' running back trio with his seven carries, but none of the three were able to get going against a Chiefs defense that dominated the line of scrimmage. Ingram has single-digit carries the last two weeks. He's as touchdown-dependent as ever in a Ravens offense that has four ball-carriers. Ingram will be worth firing up in fantasy for Week 4 against the lowly Washington squad.
