We are starting week 21 of the fantasy season, a crucial point where owners must make some tough decisions.<\/a> As a fantasy owner, it’s your responsibility to scrutinize your roster and identify the weak links, even if they are your favorite players in the real world. Just so you know, no one will tell Bo Bichette<\/a> if you drop him from your fantasy team, nor will he care. The key is to focus on the performance of your players in the fantasy world, not their real-world stardom.\u00a0 So, who are the five fantasy baseball offensive stars you must consider dropping right now?<\/p>\n

Five Fantasy Stars To Drop Right Now<\/h2>\n

Luis Robert Jr.<\/a> OF, Chicago White Sox – Fantasy owners of Robert Jr. were hoping he was traded<\/a> at the deadline to a contender. The Outfielder had been showing signs of life after his return from injury, but being mired on the worst team in MLB has taken its toll on the All-Star.\u00a0 Robert Jr. is slashing just .234\/.244\/.338 with two home runs and eight RBI in August. Both home runs and four of those RBI came on the same day. The Cuban defector has never hit for average, but now he isn’t hitting for power either.<\/p>\n

Xander Bogaerts<\/a>, 2B\/SS San Diego Padres-\u00a0 Bogaerts is currently owned in 89% of leagues but has only put up 527 points this season. The middle infielder did miss all of June with an injury this season, but compared to other players with comparable or even less time, he still falls short.\u00a0 Bogaerts is batting .274 and has been scoring some runs on a hot Padres team,<\/a> but that’s it. Bogaerts ranks 47th out of all second basemen in fantasy points scored this season.\u00a0 Dylan Moore<\/a> has scored 200 more fantasy points in fewer at-bats this season and is only 9% owned.\u00a0 I’m not necessarily advocating picking up Moore; I’m just saying that Xander has been that bad this season.<\/p>\n
