Christian Yellich’s power surge sparks debate—is another 29-homer season realistic, or will age and regression slow him down in 2026? Matthew Ahne examines Yellich’s outlook, breaks down Jose Altuve’s shifting value at second base, and questions the health risk of drafting Brandon Woodruff as an SP3. Fantasy managers face tough decisions as ADP trends highlight big risks and potential steals.

Key topics include the reliability of Yainer Diaz at catcher, Alex Bregman’s free agency speculation, and why Jeff Hoffman could rebound as Toronto’s closer. Pitching debates intensify with Chase Burns’ upside vs. park factors, Kevin Gausman’s underlying stats, and Jacob Misarowski’s breakout potential. Willie Adames’ power, groundball metrics, and lineup support come under scrutiny. Get actionable advice for dominating your 2026 fantasy draft and avoiding costly mistakes—Locked On Fantasy Baseball delivers critical insights for every serious player.
