BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Twins backstop Ryan Jeffers has been off to a solid start to the 2024 campaign and is worth adding in 12-team and higher leagues.
After disappointing fantasy managers in 2022, Jeffers had a solid bounce back last season and is already looking the part this season. The 26-year-old is riding an overall .250/.338/.482 line with three long balls and 12 RBI. Jeffers has been even better lately; he has posted a .370/.438/.593 line since April 13.
Ryan Jeffers has 12 RBI this month. He only had nine career April RBI entering this season.

Manager Rocco Baldelli has noticed Jeffers' improvement at the plate over the past week and has rewarded him by moving him up from the back end of the lineup to the two-hole. The 26-year-old opened the season batting in the eight-hole but has now made seven consecutive starts in the two-spot.
Batting behind lead-off man Edouard Julien and in front of Byron Buxton will provide Jeffers ample opportunities to score runs and bring them in, making him a safe bet for counting stats on a daily basis.
Jeffers is worth adding as a backup catcher and could even serve as a starter in shallow leagues in good matchups.
