| Notes | ||
| Kyle Bradish's road back from Tommy John surgery was long, but his return in August 2025 showed the potential for building on the breakout foundation he established during his 2023 Cy Young-caliber campaign. The 2026 projections appropriately price in strong ratios and strikeouts but stop short of a full starter's workload, capping his ceiling in volume-driven formats. Bradish profiles as a high-upside fantasy riser whose value spikes in leagues that prioritize ratios and strikeout efficiency over innings. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | ||
