Dickey (6-5) allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven across seven innings, but didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Dickey was out-dueling Nats ace Max Scherzer, but the bullpen imploded in the ninth inning to blow a three-run lead and cost Dickey a win. He's been absolutely on fire, as he's allowed one or fewer runs in each of his last four outings to lower his ERA from 5.35 to 4.35, and he's been a fantastic fantasy option over roughly the past month. He'll make his next start at a time yet to be determined after the All-Star break.

Dickey (6-5) allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings, but didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Dickey fired a quality start, and he was in line for a potential victory before the bullpen gave up a pair of runs in the eighth inning. This was the third time in four starts that he gave up one run or fewer in a start, lowering his ERA from 5.10 to 4.44, and despite the propensity to have an occasional terrible outing, he provides fantasy owners with upside as well. He'll make his next start Saturday against the Nationals.

Dickey (6-5) allowed just a single run on five hits and a walk while striking out six batters through seven innings during Saturday's win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
The knuckleballer has now allowed just a single run through 13 innings over his past two starts, but his underwhelming 4.63 ERA highlights just how much he's struggled this year. Dickey's 5.7 K/9 and 1.39 WHIP aren't standout marks, either. He's probably still best utilized as a possible streaming option or low-priced flier in daily contests when facing a weak offense. A road matchup against Oakland is up next for Dickey.

Dickey (5-5) allowed just three hits and a walk while striking out six batters through seven scoreless innings during Monday's win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
While this was easily Dickey's best outing of the year, the Giants entered with a league-worst .291 wOBA and had scored the third-fewest runs in the majors. Dickey sports a disappointing 4.91 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 5.6 K/9 for the campaign and remains a risky option in all fantasy settings going forward. He projects to face the Brewers at SunTrust Park in his next start.

Dickey (4-5) allowed eight runs on eight hits and no walks across five innings in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Dickey allowed three runs in the first inning, including a pair of solo home runs, but he settled down and cruised through the next four frames. Trouble reared its ugly head again in the sixth, however, and he was removed with no outs after allowing three more runs on four hits and a hit batsman. This shellacking came on the heels of Dickey's best start of the season, but he has largely been ineffective in 2017 and now owns a 5.35 ERA ahead of Monday's start against the Giants.

Dickey (4-5) allowed one run on three hits over seven innings, striking out eight and walking none, Thursday against the Phillies in the Braves' 3-1 win.
EDGE Analysis
Dickey had allowed three or more runs in each of his last six outings, so this was certainly an anamoly for him this season; a year in which he has produced a 4-4 record and 4.73 ERA. The former NL Cy Young Award winner clearly is not what he used to be, but as Thursday proved, he is certainly capable of churning out an impressive performance - even if it's against the lowly Phillies.

Dickey allowed five runs -- four earned -- on five hits and five walks while striking out just two batters through 5.1 innings during Saturday's win over Cincinnati. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran knuckleballer has allowed at least three runs in each of his past seven starts for a 6.05 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and a measly 3.5 K/9. Those numbers don't move the fantasy needle in any setting, and until Dickey shows the ability to limit opponents or pad the strikeouts column, he's probably best faded as a streaming or daily contest option. He projects to face the Phillies at home in his next start.

Dickey (3-4) coughed up seven runs (six earned) on six hits and five walks over six innings in Sunday's loss to the Giants. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The five walks were a season high for Dickey, but the knuckleballer has issued multiple free passes in eight straight starts, saddling him with a 4.4 BB/9 and 1.58 WHIP. The 42-year-old's 4.65 ERA on the season looks bad, but he may actually have been lucky so far based on his 6.23 FIP. He'll try to turn things around Saturday in Cincinnati.

Dickey allowed three runs on 11 hits over six innings against the visiting Pirates on Tuesday. He struck out two, walked three and hit a batter.
EDGE Analysis
This 15-baserunner outing incredibly qualifies as a quality start, robbing that designation of all meaning in the process. Dickey has been a pain to own in fantasy, as his strikeout rate has dropped to its lowest point since 2008 and his walk rate is at its highest point since 2009; despite that, he's outpitched his peripherals so far, but that's not going to last if he keeps packing the bases with runners.

Dickey's next scheduled start will be Tuesday against Pittsburgh instead of Wednesday,Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves opted to have Dickey and Julio Teheran switch spots in their starting rotation, so Dickey will take the mound one day earlier than planned. Dickey's ERA and WHIP are both high and sitting at 4.13 and 1.46, respectively. He also doesn't offer much in terms of strikeouts, as he owns a bleak 4.88 K/9.
