Expert Note
View More NotesZack Wheeler continued his SP1 ways in 2023, racking up 212 strikeouts in 192 innings. His ERA was a little high (for him) at 3.61, and his xFIP supported that at 3.54. Wheeler is in the 95th percentile in BB% (5.0), so you can draft him knowing he will protect your WHIP better than many other aces. He also started 32 games, making his durability an asset as well. Wheeler remains at the top of Tier 2 after the Strider/Cole/Burnes triad, and you can probably get him in the third round.

Zack Wheeler delivered a strong performance, allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 6 1/3 innings in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Wheeler's high strikeout count continues to bolster his fantasy value, particularly in leagues that reward strikeouts heavily. His season-long metrics, including a stellar 2.57 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, affirm his status as a top-tier fantasy starter. The high strikeout-to-walk ratio and low BABIP suggest sustained effectiveness, though fantasy managers should be wary of any regression in BABIP that could affect his ERA moving forward. Overall, Wheeler remains a must-start in all formats, providing both quality starts and excellent strikeout potential.
