BALLER MOVE: Target ~230
CURRENT ADP: ~287
ANALYSIS: When exploring September pitching numbers, Norris is a more surprising name. He posted a 24.6 percent K-BB rate, seventh best in the MLB, thanks to a 31.2 percent strikeout rate that came in fifth. Above Jose Fernandez (RIP), above Noah Syndergaard and above Corey Kluber. He only allowed a .219 batting average against despite an acceptable .282 BABIP, though he did allow five homers in his 29 2/3 innings of work. While Norris has to deal with his own durability woes -- notably right oblique and lower back strains -- and needing to conquer the long ball, there are a lot of promising markers here to back up his viability as a late-round flier. His current NFBC ADP is a paltry 287.74, making him a dynamite deep sleeper considering he appears to have the No. 4 slot in Detroit’s rotation locked up.
