Fantasy Impact:
Estes’ 5.01 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 92:27 K:BB over 127.2 innings in 2024 secure him the Athletics’ fifth starter spot over Spence, though his leash may be short. His role’s tenuous. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him cautiously, banking on his strikeout ability for early value, but eyeing a quick hook if Oakland shifts plans in 2025.
