Let's talk about Chris Heston again.

I know what you're thinking: We get it. The guy threw a no-hitter. Stop the presses.

I'm not so sure you do. Because here we are two days later, after everyone has gotten a chance to react to it, and he's still owned in just 72 percent of CBSSports.com Fantasy leagues. He's up only five percent. That means owners in 28 percent of leagues looked at that zero in the hits column and that 11 in the strikeouts column and thought, "Nah."

Oh, to be that comfortable.

I realize my initial reaction to the no-hitter was "great, now I can trade him," but that's different from passing on him altogether. Selling high is still cashing in on the established value, not shrugging it off.

Because he has established some value. I would have thought he was more than 72 percent owned even before the no-hitter given that the highs have been so high. In seven of his 12 starts now, he has allowed one earned run or fewer, typically pitching seven innings or more, and the peripherals back it up. He has the eighth-highest ground-ball rate among qualifying pitchers -- and with a strikeout rate not normally associated with extreme ground-ball pitchers (check out Dallas Keuchel's for comparison). The ERA is kind of high because of the ups and downs, but of his five bad starts, two came at Coors Field. And overall, he still has a 1.19 WHIP to go along with a 16-win, 178-strikeout pace.

Maybe his no-hitter is a sign of Heston turning the corner. Or maybe it's just the latest in a frustrating pattern of extreme highs and lows. Even in that case, you'd rather the highs come on your bench than in somebody else's lineup.

So there's the positive spin to go with the negative one from the other day. I'd rather not be the one to live and die with Heston, but jeez, somebody has to. Now then, let's look at some of the other starting pitchers turning heads recently.

Taijuan Walker, SP, Mariners (80 percent owned)

You knew it was just a matter of time for Walker. The guy was arguably the top pitching prospect in baseball before exhausting his rookie eligibility last year, and he showed his potential with a 0.67 ERA this spring, allowing 10 hits and recording 26 strikeouts in 27 innings.

He had some control issues once the regular season began -- which weren't completely foreign to him, looking at his minor-league history -- but he seems to have overcome them now, issuing three walks in his past three starts. And the results speak for themselves.

Does a strong three-start stretch solidify his place among the top pitchers in Fantasy? Obviously not, but given his upside, it makes him too valuable to pass up. His progression kind of reminds me of the one Julio Teheran had in 2013, following up a terrific spring with a 5.08 ERA in his first five starts but then a 2.86 ERA in his final 25. Safe to say that one turned out pretty well for Fantasy owners.

Vincent Velasquez, SP, Astros (51 percent owned)

To say Velasquez's major-league debut Wednesday went without a hitch would be disingenuous. He did issue four walks in five innings, after all. But for a first major-league start by a 23-year-old who made only five starts above Class A, it was as good as anyone could have hoped for.

And let's not forget Lance McCullers issued three walks in 4 2/3 innings in his first start. Clearly, it wasn't a deal-breaker for him. As good as McCullers has looked over his last two starts, striking out 18 with no walks in 16 innings, Velasquez was arguably just as impressive in the minors. At the time of his promotion, he had a 1.37 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 12.6 strikeouts per nine innings in his five starts at Double-A.

If you don't have McCullers now, most likely it's because someone in your league took a chance on him early. You could be that someone with Velasquez.

Williams Perez, SP, Braves (14 percent owned)

In terms of pedigree, Perez isn't in the same class as Walker or Velasquez. In fact, I hadn't heard of him before the Braves called him up in early May, and even now, I don't really know what to think of him. But I can't deny that four of his five starts have been promising. The best of them came Wednesday, when he allowed just one unearned run to the Padres in seven innings, striking out five and walking two.

He wouldn't be the first nobody to begin his major-league career with four promising starts in five, and I wouldn't react this way to all of them. But the Braves' enthusiasm -- they seemed genuinely excited to bump Eric Stults for him, even after two shaky relief appearances -- has me thinking the prospect hounds may have missed something with him, which does happen sometimes. Alex Wood wasn't so highly regarded in the minors either.

It's a deeper-league gamble -- I could think of a dozen waiver wire options I'd prefer to Perez in a standard mixed league -- but the 24-year-old deserves to be on the radar in Fantasy. If nothing else, I could see his funky, arm-slinging delivery fooling hitters for a while.
