Notes
	Gavin Williams re-established himself as a high-upside rotation anchor in 2025, posting a 3.06 ERA and 3.8 WAR across 167.2 innings. If his 2026 projections forecast even modest gains in command, Williams profiles as a fantasy riser with SP2 upside; however, without tangible walk-rate improvement, he remains a ratio-risk arm despite the strikeout ceiling. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	He has excellent command and control, and flashed over his 69.2IP last season - I am buying this upside. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
