Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Rafael Devers Note
	42. Rafael Devers 1B,DH Rafael Devers forced his way out of Boston early in the year and landed in the less fantasy-friendly environment of San Francisco. His numbers held steady for the most part, producing 35 home runs, 99 runs, and 109 RBI, though his batting average was the lowest since 2018. His Barrel percentage jumped from 13% to 16%, and his HardHit rate leapt to 56.1%, both the highest of his career. Projections have him essentially continuing on with these numbers, and at a thinner 1B than expected, Devers is a sneaky pick currently going in the fifth round. 3 weeks ago

Logan Webb Note
	44. Logan Webb SP Logan Webb just kept on keeping on in 2025. He pitched 207 innings, won 15 games, raised his strikeout rate to 26.2%, and continued to avoid walks, posting a 5.4% walk rate. His ERA of 3.22 was a bit low compared to his expected (3.58), but his FIP (2.60) and xFIP (2.78) remain elite. Webb continued to just be a workman in fantasy baseball, throwing over 200 innings for the third straight year. With a 4.87 K/BB ratio and entering his age-29 season, projections are calling for a slightly reduced strikeout rate, but fantasy managers can do a lot worse than Webb as their SP1. 3 weeks ago

Willy Adames Note
	102. Willy Adames SS Willy Adames continued to provide bankable power in 2025 with 30 home runs, but the batting average (.225) and elevated strikeout rate once again capped his overall fantasy ceiling. His underlying profile still supports mid-20s to low-30s homer power in 2026, though projections point toward neutral batting average and reduced steals compared to his 2024 peak. Adames remains a dependable power-first shortstop in fantasy, but he's better valued as a solid floor option than a true breakout bat. 3 weeks ago

Matt Chapman Note
	129. Matt Chapman 3B Matt Chapman followed up his excellent 2024 with a solid but slightly muted 2025, as the power dipped to 21 home runs and the batting average slid to .231 despite a strong .340 OBP. Plate discipline remained a plus, and the underlying power was still present, but reduced games played and fewer counting stats capped his fantasy ceiling compared to the prior year. Third base remains a thinner position, which helps preserve his value even as the speed contribution continues to fade in his early 30s. Heading into 2026, Chapman profiles as a steady but unspectacular corner infielder, reliable for power and OBP formats, but unlikely to return to peak-level fantasy production. 3 weeks ago

Robbie Ray Note
	142. Robbie Ray SP Robbie Ray rebounded in 2025 with a 3.65 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 182.1 innings for San Francisco, earning an All-Star nod after an injury-marred 2023 and abbreviated 2024. Looking ahead to 2026, projections point to stable mid-rotation production rather than a return to ace-level dominance. Ray's declining strikeout trend (from 32% in 2021 to sub-25% in 2025) caps his fantasy ceiling, but his ability to take the ball for 30+ starts and limit damage keeps his floor relatively intact. 3 weeks ago

Ryan Walker Note
	177. Ryan Walker RP

Heliot Ramos Note
	186. Heliot Ramos LF Heliot Ramos broke out in 2024, but his 2025 follow-up was more solid than spectacular. The good news is his underlying quality of contact held firm (91.8 mph average EV, 47.8% hard-hit rate), while his strikeout rate improved to 22.7%, nearly league average. A more contact-oriented, opposite-field-heavy approach (63.2% to center in 2025) capped his over-the-fence output, but the skills foundation remains stable. Ramos' projections suggest mid-20s homer power and strong run production in an everyday role, Ramos profiles as a solid but unexciting OF4 or OF5 option. 3 weeks ago
