Notes
	After years of dominance in Milwaukee, Devin Williams endured a turbulent first season in New York in 2025, posting a 4.79 ERA across 67 appearances despite still striking out 90 batters in 62 innings. The underlying indicators remained far stronger than the surface results (2.68 FIP and 13.1 K/9). FantasyPros' 2026 projections anticipate a rebound, forecasting roughly a 3.26 ERA, 86 strikeouts, and around 30 saves over about 66 innings. Given the massive ERA-FIP gap in 2025 and his sustained strikeout dominance, Williams profiles as a bounce-back fantasy riser if he retains a full-time closing role. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
