Nationals' Derek Norris: Set to be backup catcher

Norris is now in line to be the Nationals' backup catcher after the team signed Matt Wieters to a two-year deal on Tuesday.

Analysis:

The Wieters signing, while an obvious upgrade, really hurts Norris' fantasy value this season, as he no longer profiles as the starter. It's possible that Washington will look to trade Norris, as Jose Lobaton and Pedro Severino would be capable of handling the backup job.
