Notes
	Steven Kwan took a step back offensively after three straight productive seasons. His lack of power continues to cap his ceiling, but he still contributed solid category juice with 81 runs scored, 21 steals, and a .272 batting average. Kwan's elite bat-to-ball skills remain intact, evidenced by an 8.7% strikeout rate, though his 7.9% walk rate ranked just 47th percentile per Statcast. Entering his age-28 season, there's room for his batting average and on-base percentage to rebound closer to prior highs. Slated to remain Cleveland's leadoff hitter, he should again flirt with 85 runs if the lineup cooperates. While Kwan remains a useful fantasy outfielder in the OF3/OF4 range, managers may find more upside among similarly priced options on draft day. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	The runs are good, and the bags are nice, but his OPS is a drain and he has never hit above .300 - I am passing at his current ADP. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
