Fantasy Impact:
King’s 2.95 ERA and 201:63 K:BB over 173.2 innings in 2024, his breakout as a starter, lands him the Padres’ Opening Day nod over Cease, per Monday’s call. The co-ace shines bright. Fantasy managers can lock him in as a top-tier arm, expecting his strikeout prowess to dominate early against Atlanta in 2025.
