| Notes | ||
| Joe Ryan took a clear step forward in 2025, pairing a career-high workload (171 IP) with a 28.2% strikeout rate and his best ERA+ (125), supported by strong underlying indicators like a .218 opponent AVG and elite command (5.7% BB%). His four-seam-heavy profile still carries home run risk, but improved batted-ball suppression and a near-5.0 K/BB ratio helped stabilize his ratios year over year. The 2026 projections continue to view Ryan as a reliable mid-rotation fantasy anchor with above-average strikeouts and solid WHIP, even if he doesn't quite reach ace-level ceilings. At age 30 with a stable role and skills trending positively, Ryan profiles as a dependable SP2 who's safer than his draft cost suggests. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | ||
