Eligibility
Zack Wheeler was nearly untouchable in Saturday's 9-5 victory over the White Sox, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out eight over 7 1/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact
This stellar outing not only secured his second win of the season but also showcased his ability to control the game, enhancing his already impressive early-season stats. With a 2.30 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP through his first six starts, Wheeler is proving to be a top-tier fantasy option. His high strikeout rate (10.9 K/9) and low BABIP (.234) suggest that while he might see some regression, his underlying skills are solid. Fantasy managers should continue to view Wheeler as a strong starting option in all formats, capable of delivering high strikeout totals and excellent ratios.

Fantasy Impact
Despite allowing just 3 hits and a solitary walk, Wheeler was saddled with the loss. This game underscores a troubling trend for Wheeler: a lack of run support. With an ERA of 0.75 and a WHIP to match, plus a 11.3 K/9 and a 15.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Wheeler is clearly at the top of his game early this season.

Fantasy Impact
Wheeler, who seems to have carried over his dominance from last season, tossed six scoreless innings, scattering five hits without issuing a walk and striking out five. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain as the Phillies' bullpen imploded, wasting a masterful outing. Wheeler's individual performance should keep him firmly locked in as a top-tier fantasy starter in all formats.
