| Notes | ||
| Joe Ryan took a clear step forward in 2025, pairing a career-high workload (171 IP) with a 28.2% strikeout rate and his best ERA+ (125), supported by strong underlying indicators like a .218 opponent AVG and elite command (5.7% BB%). His four-seam-heavy profile still carries home run risk, but improved batted-ball suppression and a near-5.0 K/BB ratio helped stabilize his ratios year over year. The 2026 projections continue to view Ryan as a reliable mid-rotation fantasy anchor with above-average strikeouts and solid WHIP, even if he doesn't quite reach ace-level ceilings. At age 30 with a stable role and skills trending positively, Ryan profiles as a dependable SP2 who's safer than his draft cost suggests. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Nathan Eovaldi delivered one of the most dominant seasons of his career in 2025, posting a microscopic 1.73 ERA with elite run suppression backed by a .194 opponent average and a career-best 26.0% strikeout rate. Durability remains the primary concern entering his age-36 season, but 2026 projections still view him as a high-quality rotation anchor with strong ratios and solid strikeout volume when healthy. In fantasy formats, Eovaldi profiles as an SP2 whose value hinges on workload but whose efficiency can meaningfully outperform his draft cost. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
