Notes
	Christian Yelich rebounded to strong everyday value in 2025, launching 29 homers with 16 steals while posting a .795 OPS across 150 games. His strikeout rate jumped to 25.9, while his hard-hit rate dipped to 46.6%, suggesting the power surge may not fully hold. The 2026 projections reflect that regression, forecasting roughly 19 HR, 16 SB, and a .256 average with a mid-.750s OPS. Yelich still provides useful category balance thanks to his on-base skills and speed, but he only played 19 games in the OF and may only qualify as a DH in some formats. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Marcell Ozuna's 2025 campaign marked a steep regression from his elite 2023-2024 peak, as his slash line fell to .232/.355/.400 with 21 home runs across 592 plate appearances. Now eligible only at DH with the Pirates, Ozuna's lack of positional flexibility further caps his fantasy utility. Projections pointing toward solid but no-longer-elite power production more in line with a mid-tier corner bat than a foundational fantasy piece. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
