Notes
	Burger unquestionably struggled in his first season in Texas in 2025. But he smashed 34 homers in 2023 and 29 in 2024, and possesses a well above average batted ball profile. You can do far worse at his current ADP, and he could turn out to be one of the most productive late round sleepers this year if he finds his former swing. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
