5.
Jose Ramirez
3B,DH
While it may seem unbelievable, Jose Ramirez remains underrated. The 32-year-old third baseman seems to fly under the radar every year, and every year, he simply does what he's been doing pretty much since he came into the league. In 2024, he tied his career high in home runs at 39, drove in 118, scored 114, and stole 41 bases. His OBP took a small dip (.335), but his average settled exactly on his career number of .279. Still, it is guaranteed that in at least one league you're in, everyone will look past him anyway. Imagine ignoring the guy who came within one homer of being the first third baseman in history to post a 40/40 season. Coming out of the first round of your draft with Jose Ramirez is one of the safest plays you can make in 2025 fantasy.

Steven Kwan
LF
Steven Kwan's 2024 season was shortened by injuries, restricting him to 122 games, but he remained highly productive when on the field. He took a step forward in power, launching 14 home runs while scoring 83 runs as a key piece atop Cleveland's lineup. Fantasy managers drafting the 27-year-old will be looking for a repeat of his stellar .292/.368/.425 slash line. While he may not be the flashiest player, Kwan's disciplined approach-rarely striking out or chasing bad pitches-makes him a model of consistency at the plate.

Lane Thomas
CF,RF
Lane Thomas saw a dip in power from his 2023 campaign, but he compensated with speed, swiping 32 bases while still delivering 15 home runs. Slated to hit in the heart of Cleveland's lineup, he has the potential to reach a 20-homer, 25-steal season. That combination makes him a valuable target in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
