16 Andre Ethier, RF

It's not the kind of stretch that makes you slap your forehead and swear off the game of Fantasy for dropping him, but Andre Ethier has put together a recent run that may give his 60 percent ownership a little bump. 

In his last five games, Ethier is hitting .450 with a double, home run and 1.126 OPS. In Points formats, he put up a season-best 22 points in Week 11.  

While it may be tough to make a case for adding Ethier universally, he does have four seasons of 20-plus home runs in his last five, and sports a career .288 average. Even with rumors of a trade, Ethier will likely find his way into a full-time role with his hypothetical new team. But, for now, he'll start until Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford return, and their timetables are still/always in flux. Once the Dodgers get everyone healthy, I doubt Ethier will just be outright benched, especially if he continues to turn his season around (Yasiel Puig will likely take away some time from everyone).

As of now, with two injured outfielders still slow to come back, Ethier is rosterable in 12-team Roto leagues and deeper.  

Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier was back in the starting lineup Monday against the Diamondbacks but went 1 for 4 with a strikeout in a 5-4 loss.

"He just hasn't been as consistent as we're used to seeing out of him and I know that concerns him, and concerns us also," manager Don Mattingly said to MLB.com. "We're trying to get him back to his old self."
