2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Jackson Chourio Note
	17. Jackson Chourio LF,CF,RF Jackson Chourio delivered a sophomore campaign that closely mirrored his rookie output. He again finished with 21 home runs, pairing them with 21 stolen bases after posting a 21/22 line the year before. His run and RBI totals barely budged as well, crossing the plate 88 times with 78 RBIs after scoring 80 runs and driving in 79 as a rookie. Even his rate stats stayed remarkably steady, as he slashed .270/.308/.463 in 2025 following a .275/.327/.464 line in 2024. Chourio did appear in 17 fewer games this past season, which makes the underlying production more intriguing. When scaled to a full workload, a 25/25 season is well within reach. Assuming roughly 140 games in 2026, fantasy managers should expect similar overall numbers, with a reliable 20/20 floor and a batting average in the .270 range. That profile makes Chourio a strong five-category contributor, even if he hasn't yet blossomed into the elite fantasy force some anticipated. 4 weeks ago

Brice Turang Note
	42. Brice Turang 2B Fantasy managers who drafted Brice Turang, hoping for a repeat of his 50-SB season in 2024, may have been disappointed in the drop to 24, but they got a whole lot more than expected everywhere else. Turang improved in almost every metric, jumping to 18 home runs thanks to a leap in HardHit rate from 29.7% to 47.4%. He batted an elite .288, ranking second at the position, and the 24 steals were still fifth on the list. At only age 26, Turang should bat behind Jackson Chourio and in front of William Contreras and Christian Yelich, an excellent spot to pick up counting stats. At the weakest position in fantasy, Turang may be the only one to offer something in all five categories and is the last of the three in the top tier. 3 weeks ago

William Contreras Note
	43. William Contreras C,DH William Contreras took a small step back in 2025, with his OPS dipping to .754 as his ISO fell to .140 despite continued growth in plate discipline (career-best 12.7% BB rate, sub-19% K rate). The underlying skills remain strong: his contact quality stayed well above league average (91.1 mph EV, 48.6% hard-hit), and his power downturn looks more variance-driven than structural after back-to-back elite seasons in 2023-24. The 2026 projections point to a rebound toward his established .360+ OBP profile with mid-20s homer upside, supported by premium volume at a scarce catcher position. Given his durability, lineup role, and stable skills, Contreras profiles as a high-floor catcher with bounce-back upside and remains one of the safest investments at the position. 2 weeks ago
