Notes
	Yusei Kikuchi remains a reliable but volatile fantasy arm entering 2026, best viewed as a back-end starter in mixed leagues. The underlying batted-ball profile was mostly stable, but a rising walk rate and middling WHIP capped his fantasy ceiling despite near-league-average run prevention. Kikuchi is still useful for innings and strikeouts, but with limited upside and increased ratio risk compared to prior seasons. He's best deployed as a matchup-dependent SP5 rather than a set-and-forget option. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
