After fielding many questions surrounding the breakthrough campaign by this Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman, Ive examined Jake Lambs profile closely and vaulted him within my top 100 overall players. Simply put, hes earned it, deservedly ranked in the third/fourth third-base tier that includes Adrian Beltre and Evan Longoria.Much of the foundation for Lambs breakthrough year comes from an adjustment he made to his swing during the winter, which has fueled a noticeable jump in power: His isolated power has nearly tripled (.123 in 2015, .328 this season), he has increased his fly-ball rate by more than two percent (26.2 percent in 2015, 28.6 percent in 2016) and he has boosted his average fly-ball rate by 22 feet (301.6 in 2015, 323.7 in 2016).Perhaps equally encouraging is Lambs boosted performance against left-handed pitching: Hes a .190/.307/.429 hitter, for .238 isolated power, after sub-.100 isolated power numbers against them in both 2014 and 2015. That helped earn him six starts in the Arizona Diamondbacks past 11 games against left-handed pitchers.Still, Lambs ranking (97th overall) might seem modest for the No. 36 name on the Player Rater. Some regression needs be baked into any rest-of-year projection, particularly in the power department. For the season, Lamb has homered on 18.6 percent of his fly balls, second-highest among qualifiers, and since May 9 he has a major league-high 22.0 percent rate, resulting in 18 of his 21 homers for the season. To put that number into perspective, consider the major league leaders (among qualifiers) the past five seasons: Giancarlo Stanton, 15.2 percent in 2011; Chris Davis, 16.3 in 2012; Pedro Alvarez, 18.3 in 2013; Stanton, 17.3 in 2014; Nelson Cruz, 18.4 in 2015.My best guess at his projection: .275-.280 batting average, 10-12 home runs.Here are some quick thoughts about the weeks other big movers...There might not be a tougher player to rank this week than Clayton Kershaw, who was shut down indefinitely following a setback with his injured back. Its possible that this might merely push back his recovery by a matter of days, rather than weeks, but the chances well see Kershaw before August are now poor, and hes now enough of a risk that a compelling case could be made to lower him to 14th at the position (roughly 50th overall). Your hope should be eight top-shelf starts upon his return.Wil Myers is legit. Consider: .313 BABIP (81st in the majors, and four points beneath his career number), 13.4 home run/fly ball percentage (29th, and in line with his 12.7 percent rookie-year number).Jacob deGroms return to the top 10 starting pitchers is much more a testament to his own ability than it is a criticism of the positions depth in the 11-20 tier. Hes once again the safe guy, with a 2.32 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 29.4 percent strikeout rate in his past 10 starts, and thats quite an asset to own in a season like this.Im only lowering Gregory Polanco amidst concerns about his recent hamstring injury. Hes a .171 hitter thus far in July -- nine games, though -- and Im somewhat concerned that hell be playing these next few weeks at less than full strength.We talked quite a bit about Dallas Keuchels performance on Wednesdays Fantasy Focus Baseball podcast, and while I think hes no longer a Cy Young-caliber pitcher statistically speaking, hes back to being a solid member of the top 20 starters, thanks to six consecutive quality starts as well as a 3.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 21.9 percent strikeout rate in his past 10 turns.With Dee Gordons return upcoming -- hes eligible to play in eight days, barring Miami Marlins rainouts between now and then -- he might be under-ranked as the No. 13 second baseman and No. 118 player overall. I think hes closer to 8-and-80 in those sets from the day he returns, so hell almost assuredly rank there in a week.Since May 21, Matt Shoemaker has a 29.1 percent strikeout rate, ninth-best among qualifiers, and a 9.78:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, behind only Mike Leake (11.40:1) and Jose Fernandez (9.90:1).Kudos to the Chicago Cubs for giving Willson Contreras nine starts behind the plate in their past 17 games overall, signaling that hes now their top choice to start a majority of the time there. Contreras also has eight starts in left field during that time, and has generally been batting fourth or fifth, giving him a playing-time advantage that no other catcher quite enjoys. Will it last? If so, he probably warrants a top-100 ranking rather than 152nd (and sixth among catchers), but Id like to see a little more first.Most projections systems continue to love Drew Smyly, but after a nine-start stretch during which time he had only one quality start and an 8.03 ERA and 1.72 WHIP, hes perhaps too generously ranked as even my No. 52 starting pitcher. I still think theres top-20 talent in that left arm, though, but my patience is running out.New ESPN position eligibilityThe following players added new position eligibility within the past two weeks. As a reminder, position players need to appear 10 times at a new position to gain in-season eligibility, while pitchers need to make three starts to earn starting-pitching eligibility or five relief appearances to earn relief-pitching eligibility.Chris Beck (RP), Willson Contreras (OF), Chase dArnaud (OF), Wilmer Flores (1B), Raisel Iglesias (RP), Jordan Lyles (RP), Jefry Marte (OF), Shawn OMalley (SS), Ramiro Pena (2B), Jose Peraza (OF), Hernan Perez (OF), Jurickson Profar (1B), Rob Refsnyder (OF).The following players are within two games of earning new eligibility, with their total games played noted at the listed position.Cristhian Adames (2B, 9 games), Mike Aviles (2B, 9 games), Christian Colon (3B, 8 games), Chase dArnaud (2B, 9 games), Stephen Drew (3B, 9 games; SS, 9 games), Prince Fielder (1B, 9 games), Adam Frazier (OF, 8 games), Jedd Gyorko (3B, 9 games; 1B, 8 games), Matt Holliday (1B, 8 games), Howie Kendrick (1B, 8 games), Matt McBride (C, 9 games), Jose Reyes (3B, 9 games).Going-forward rankings: Week 15Listed below are my updated, going-forward rankings.

The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. Zach Parise Wild Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Alec Ogletree saw the football zipping his way and knew he needed to get his hands on it.The Los Angeles linebacker intercepted Bryce Petty with just under two minutes left, lifting the Rams to a 9-6 victory over the New York Jets in a snoozer Sunday.Petty made his first NFL start in place of an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick, but couldnt get much going against the Rams defense.After getting the ball with 2:55 remaining and down by three, Petty tried to lead the Jets (3-7) down the field. But on second-and-7 from the 42, Pettys pass to Quincy Enunwa was picked off by Ogletree, who took it out of the receivers hands and Enunwa then tried to wrestle it away from the linebacker to no avail.I had that area of zone and I was playing the receiver, Ogletree said. I saw him throw the ball. We kind of tied up and I was able to rip it out from him and make the play.Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals, including a go-ahead 34-yarder with 6:52 left, helping the Rams (4-5) snap a four-game losing streak and avoid their first five-game skid since Weeks 9-13 last season.We had to fight and scrap all the way to the end, Ogletree said. Thats what it takes to win and I was right there to make the play. We really couldnt get on the plane without winning here.The game featured 15 punts -- eight by the Jets and seven by the Rams -- as neither offense were the models of efficiency or excitement. New York finished with 296 yards of total offense, while the Rams had 280.Petty, a fourth-round draft pick out of Baylor last year, went 19 of 32 for 163 yards with a touchdown and the loss-sealing interception.Im not going to let this define my career, Petty said. Im not going to let this define me.Fitzpatrick was listed as questionable with a sprained left knee , suffered last weekend at Miami. Coach Todd Bowles said throughout the week that Fitzpatrick would remain the starter for Sundays game -- as long as he was healthy enough to play.After the game, Bowles said Fitzpatrick wasnt completely healthy. The two split first-team snaps during practice all week.Fitzpatrick was active for the game and served as Pettys backup, while rookie Christian Hackenberg was inactive. Bowles would not commit to who his starter would be in the Jets next game against New England in two weeeks.dddddddddddd.While Rams fans have been clamoring for No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff to play, Case Keenum went a ho-hum 17 of 30 for 165 yards, but had no turnovers after throwing eight interceptions in his previous four games.No, Im not going into the quarterback situation, coach Jeff Fisher said. As I said, I dont believe its the quarterback play. Collectively, were just making mistakes here and there.Petty drove the Jets 99 yards on the teams second possession, finishing with his first NFL TD pass with a little razzle-dazzle on a toss to Brandon Marshall, who flipped it to Bilal Powell for a 4-yard score.Nick Folk was wide left on the extra point, his second miss of the season, leaving New York with a 6-3 lead early in the second quarter.Zuerlein tied it at 6 with 20 seconds left in the third quarter with a 38-yard field goal.I thought Case did a nice job, Fisher said. We didnt get the ball in the end zone, but he scrambled and picked up some key first downs and kept drives alive. Thats what you have to do against a defense like this.SO CLOSEPetty misfired on a long pass on third-and-14 from the Rams 32 that couldve been an easy touchdown in the closing minute of the first half, slightly overthrowing Robby Anderson, who was wide open but had to reach high as the ball tipped off his hand.GURLEY STILL GROUNDEDTodd Gurley, last seasons Offensive Rookie of Year, still has yet to run for 100 yards in a game this season after rushing for 125 or more five times last season. He finished with 64 yards on 21 carries. Gurleys longest run of the season, 21 yards in the fourth quarter, was wiped out by Greg Robinsons holding penalty.FIELD FLIPPERWith the Rams pinned at their 17 on fourth-and-1 early in the fourth quarter, Johnny Hekker blasted a 78-yard punt that had returner Jalin Marshall fielding as if he were catching a pass. After a 10-yard return by Marshall, the Jets had the ball at their 15 -- and went three-and-out. It was the fourth-longest punt in franchise history.UP NEXTRams: vs. Miami next Sunday.Jets: bye week.
