Fantasy Analysis
Nady is batting just .147 on the year. He's not starting everyday for Washington, which hurts his Fantsy value. Add in his struggles at the plate, the veteran outfielder just doesn't bring much to the Fantasy table. Owners should view him as a reserve option in deeper NL-only formats at this stage of his career. (Updated 05/16/2012).
