Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Willson Contreras' fantasy profile changes meaningfully after his move to the Boston Red Sox, as first base eligibility removes the positional advantage that once made his bat stand out. His 2025 production remains solid by raw numbers, but the same power-and-average output now plays closer to replacement level at a deeper offensive position. The shift away from catcher should help with durability and volume, yet it also raises the bar for fantasy relevance compared to his peers. In 2026 drafts, Contreras is better viewed as a corner infield depth option than a lineup anchor, with real-life value exceeding his fantasy impact.
