Expert Note
View More NotesBen Rice followed a rough 2024 debut with a legitimate breakout in 2025, slashing .255/.337/.499 with 26 homers and a 131 OPS+ across 138 games. The power spike was supported by improved contact quality and a manageable strikeout rate, turning him from replacement-level depth into a middle-of-the-order threat. Dual eligibility at catcher and first base quietly boosts his fantasy value. While his defensive profile may keep him rotating between DH and multiple positions, Rice's age-26 surge makes him an appealing upside target.

Ben Rice went 3-for-4 in Wednesday’s 9-2 win over the Rays with two solo home runs.
Fantasy Impact
Rice has heated back up of late, collecting hits in nine of his last 12 contests. The first baseman continues to reward manager Aaron Boone as one of the more explosive bats in a streaky Yankees lineup late in the season, carrying an .899 OPS with 41 home runs, 97 RBI, 103 runs scored, and three stolen bases across 151 games.
