CF Jacoby Ellsbury, New York Yankees

Ellsbury makes our list just based on the fact he can’t stay healthy. When on the field, he was having a nice season, slashing .324/.412/372, but Ellsbury hasn’t played since May 19.

Fantasy owners also wish Ellsbury would hit for more power. He has just five extra-base hits, including one home run and six RBI. It’s hard to justify a third-round pick on a guy who doesn’t contribute more in those categories.

Then, it’s made even worse when the star misses a month.
