Notes
	Rafael Devers forced his way out of Boston early in the year and landed in the less fantasy-friendly environment of San Francisco. His numbers held steady for the most part, producing 35 home runs, 99 runs, and 109 RBI, though his batting average was the lowest since 2018. His Barrel percentage jumped from 13% to 16%, and his HardHit rate leapt to 56.1%, both the highest of his career. Projections have him essentially continuing on with these numbers, and at a thinner 1B than expected, Devers is a sneaky pick currently going in the fifth round. 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
