Notes
	Brandon Woodruff returned to the mound in 2025 and was highly effective on a per-inning basis, posting a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and an elite 32.3% strikeout rate across 64.2 innings. The sample size again tells the story: he has been oft injured in recent seasons, logging just 12 starts in 2025 after making only 11 in 2023. The 2026 projections reflect that duality: strong ratios and a healthy strikeout total on a per-start basis, but fantasy managers have to temper their expectations on his durability. Fantasy managers should bake in missed time and pair him with safer innings volume rather than relying on him as a staff anchor. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Cade Horton broke through in 2025 with a 2.67 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 118 innings, finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting after posting a 144 ERA+. His underlying profile was strong but not overpowering, as his 3.58 FIP and 7.4 K/9 suggest more command-and-contact management than bat-missing dominance. The 2026 projections push him closer to the mid-3.00s in ERA with a modest bump in workload, which frames Horton as a high-floor SP3/SP4. Without elite strikeout volume, his value will hinge on efficiency, wins, and ratio stability in a competitive Cubs rotation. Draft him as a steady innings stabilizer, but avoid paying for a repeat sub-2.75 ERA unless there's tangible growth in swing-and-miss. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
