Notes
	Juan Soto's first season with the Mets produced 43 HR, 37 SB, and a .396 OBP, marking his highest fantasy ceiling since 2021. His 2026 projections dial back the steals (a common trait across projection systems) but still expect mid-30s HR, with a slight batting-average uptick. The plate discipline remains near flawless, and his run-production environment should stay strong. Soto enters 2026 as a high-floor, high-ceiling first-round hitter whose across-the-board contributions make him one of the safest early picks. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
