Fantasy Analysis
Danks had won three of his previous four starts coming into Sunday, so this poor outing, which was definitely his worst since his second of the season (2 1/3 IP, 7 H, 7 ER), came as a bit of a surprise. In Fantasy Week 17 (July 21-27), Danks will get one start at Detroit on Saturday, where he could face the red-hot Justin Verlander. That's a tough matchup, but he should still start in the majority of formats in the period. (Updated 07/20/2008).
