Yu Darvish has been named the Opening Day starter for the Rangers. If is his first Opening Day start since arriving from Japan in 2012 and one that he earned after an impressive campaign last year along with solid results from his outings this spring. He is not unfamiliar with Opening Day starts, though, as he had five of those while playing in Japan prior to his MLB debut. (Jeff Wilson/Fort Worth Star-Telegram)

Fantasy Impact:

Darvish is primed and motivated for a solid year in 2017. He is in his contract year and is intent on building on last year's successful return from Tommy John surgery. His current ADP is third round and he would be a solid pick for any fantasy rotation.
