Notes
	After a breakout 2023 campaign (38 HR, 20 SB, 130 OPS+), Luis Robert Jr. has taken a clear step back offensively over the past two seasons, posting a .223/.297/.364 line with a below-average 88 Rbat+ in 2025. The underlying metrics show declining contact quality and elevated swing-and-miss, though his 26.0% strikeout rate in 2025 was at least an improvement from the 33.2% mark in 2024. His BABIP cratered to .274 in 2025 despite still solid exit velocity and hard-hit rates, suggesting some room for batting-average rebound, while his speed remains a major asset after swiping 33 bases. Even with a modest projected rebound in 2026, Robert's volatile plate discipline and recent production downturn make him a risky early-round investment compared to his peak fantasy value. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Alec Burleson may not carry the same buzz as some other OF3 or OF4 options, but his profile is trending in the right direction as he enters his age-27 season. He took a noticeable step forward in 2024, appearing in 139 games while posting 18 home runs, 69 RBI, and 54 runs scored, along with a .290/.343/.459 slash line and an .802 OPS. His appeal is rooted in strong contact skills, evidenced by a modest 14.5% strikeout rate, paired with enough power to contribute in multiple categories. Locked into a prominent spot near the top of St. Louis' lineup, Burleson offers inexpensive batting-average stability and quiet upside for fantasy managers in 2026 drafts. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
