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
