Notes
	Yoshinobu Yamamoto followed up his MLB debut with a strong 2025, flashing elite command and swing-and-miss ability even as his workload was managed. That, however, went out the window when he threw 37 1/3 postseason innings, bringing his total to 210 in 2025. His 2026 projections show maintained excellent ratios and strikeout efficiency. The biggest knock against Yamamoto is that he pitches for the Dodgers, who have a deep enough staff to go with a six-man rotation or rest elite starters down the stretch (fantasy playoffs) if they wish. In any case, Yamamoto profiles as a high-end fantasy starter whose value is anchored in ratios. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	MacKenzie Gore followed up his 2024 step forward with another strikeout-heavy season in 2025, posting a career-best K-rate (27%+) while maintaining improved walk control compared to his early MLB years. Projections suggest he is a mid-rotation arm, forecasting solid strikeouts with league-average ERA and WHIP over a full workload. At age 27, Gore looks like a fantasy SP3/SP4 whose upside is tied to further command gains. The move to Texas could boost his win total, but only if the other metrics continue to improve. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
