Mookie Betts faces a dramatic fall in fantasy baseball value—once a first-round lock, now barely worth a fifth-round pick. Are fantasy managers witnessing the end of Betts’ elite run production, or is a bounce-back possible as the Dodgers superstar enters his age-34 season? Hard-hitting analysis weighs power regression, declining barrel rates, and a dip in stolen bases. Can perennial prospects like Wyatt Langford finally become reliable assets, or should your draft focus shift to steadier names?

Matthew Ahne scrutinizes ADP trends for key players including Hunter Greene, Brian Wu, Rafael Devers (now with the Giants), Bryce Harper, C.J. Abrams, and Matt Olson. Strategic breakdowns compare strikeout rates, run creation, and positional depth, prompting tough roster questions. Are closers like Mason Miller and Kade Smith worth the early draft reach? Locked On Fantasy Baseball delivers actionable insight to help you win your league—don’t miss these critical rankings and projections.

Logan Gilbert slips behind Chris Sale and Christopher Sanchez in the latest ADP, but is that a mistake managers will regret? Matthew Ahne spotlights Gilbert’s breakout potential, breaks down Zach Neto’s rising draft stock, and questions why elite closers like Andrés Muñoz, Johan Duran, and Edwin Díaz are going so early in 2026 fantasy baseball drafts.

The analysis covers standout value on Yordan Alvarez—now a shocking fourth-round pick—while comparing key bats like Ketel Marte, Manny Machado, and Bryce Harper. Strategy takes center stage: Should managers chase top closers or load up on bats and starting pitchers? Injury risks for Jacob deGrom, upside for young stars, and the impact of team context on run and RBI potential further shape the ADP landscape. Can early draft trends reveal league-winning moves? Find out as Matthew Ahne maps the path to fantasy supremacy.
