Notes
	Matt Chapman followed up his excellent 2024 with a solid but slightly muted 2025, as the power dipped to 21 home runs and the batting average slid to .231 despite a strong .340 OBP. Plate discipline remained a plus, and the underlying power was still present, but reduced games played and fewer counting stats capped his fantasy ceiling compared to the prior year. Third base remains a thinner position, which helps preserve his value even as the speed contribution continues to fade in his early 30s. Heading into 2026, Chapman profiles as a steady but unspectacular corner infielder, reliable for power and OBP formats, but unlikely to return to peak-level fantasy production.
