Notes
	Zack Wheeler followed up his dominant 2024 with an even sharper skill set in 2025, posting a career-best 11.73 K/9 and 33.3% strikeout rate alongside a stellar 27.7% K-BB%. His 2.71 ERA was supported by a 2.48 xERA, though a spike to 1.14 HR/9 and a lofty 82.4% strand rate suggest some regression baked into that surface line. The question for Wheeler is how he will recover from the thoracic outlet surgery he underwent last season. Recovery is listed as 6 to 8 months, so the chances of him being ready for Opening Day are slim to none, but the latest report is that it "shouldn't be too long" after that. All of this makes him a high-risk, high-reward pitcher capable of being the SP1 he's been, but fantasy managers should count on some regression based on the injury and the fact that he will be 36 this season. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
