For now, we are recommending adding him off the waiver wire for 12+ team leagues. If you have a roster spot to burn, he can be added in shallower leagues as well.
It will be interesting to see how much he plays, and where. With Joc Pederson hitting the DL, he may play in the outfield. It's tough to imagine a situation where he would start over Adrian Gonzalez. Assuming he can find regular playing time, there is no doubting his upside for fantasy baseball.
So far this season in Triple-A, Bellinger has mashed to the tune of a .343/.429/1.055 line with five home runs and 15 RBI (.284 ISO). Last year he hit 26 home runs with 71 RBI across both AA and AAA (.221 ISO). And in 2015, he ripped 30 home runs and 103 RBI (.274 ISO). The strikeouts are a bit high, but the power is legit and he can be an impact bat for 2017.
