Fantasy Baseball Week 3 Preview: Two-start pitcher rankings include John Means, Freddy Peralta

Chances are your best pitcher is lined up for two starts in Week 3.

Every weekend, Scott White ranks the two-start pitchers for the upcoming week, sorting them by how usable they are. The standard for a two-start sleeper is higher in categories leagues, where ERA and WHIP need to be protected, than in point leagues, where volume is a higher priority, and it's indicated in the tiers below.

Here are the two-start pitchers for Fantasy Week 3 (April 12-18):
