Notes
	After posting offensive WAR totals in the 17 range for three straight seasons, Ian Happ took a noticeable step back in 2025, finishing at 9.1. The decline was driven primarily by a sharp drop in stolen bases, as he went from regularly reaching double digits to just six. Otherwise, his production was largely unchanged. Happ finished with 23 home runs, 87 runs scored, 79 RBIs, and a .243/.342/.420 slash line. That profile is a reasonable expectation again in 2026. He has appeared in at least 150 games in four consecutive seasons, and Chicago continues to rely on his steady presence in the lineup. With free agency looming in 2027, there's also a chance for a modest uptick in power. Happ profiles as a dependable OF3 option for fantasy managers in 2026. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
