Notes
	Sandy Alcantara's 2025 season was a clear step back, as his ERA ballooned to 5.36 with a diminished 19.1% strikeout rate and a career-worst 45.1% hard-hit rate allowed. Projections expect some normalization, particularly in ERA and WHIP, but not a full return to his 2022 dominance. Without a rebound in strikeout rate or ground-ball lean, Alcantara profiles more as a volume-based SP3/SP4. The innings floor still carries value in deeper formats, but managers drafting him as a bounce-back ace are assuming skills growth that hasn't yet reappeared in the underlying data. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	He showed glimpses of his former Cy Young self, posting a 3.33 over his final 13 starts in 2025. I am chalking up the rocky first half to TJ injury recovery and banking on him being the pitcher we saw in the latter stages of last season. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
