Neuse hit what was just his fourth home run of the season on Thursday as both his home run total and his RBI total of 23 rank well below average. The Athletics' third basemen should be avoided in fantasy as his BA may seem okay sitting at .229, but the horrendous number that will keep owners away is his OPS which sits at just .598.

Neuse has seen himself drop into the territory of a player who needs to be dropped as soon as possible as he has failed to collect at least one hit in five straight games. The bigger issue is not just his failed contact but his OPS which is below average with a .597 and just two home runs in 49 games played this season.
