Late Draft Surprises: Who's Rising and Falling in Outfield Rankings?
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2025 7:51 pm
As we dive deeper into the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the late draft risers and fallers are starting to take shape, and it's time to discuss the implications of these shifts. With players like Jackson Chourio and Wyatt Langford skyrocketing up draft boards, are we witnessing the birth of new fantasy superstars, or are we simply chasing helium that may burst?
Chourio's jump from an OC ADP of 16.2 to a Main ADP of 12.83 raises the question: is he worth the risk at such a high price, or should we temper our expectations? Similarly, Lawrence Butler's impressive second half last season has many excited, but can he sustain that momentum in a new environment?
On the flip side, we have established names like Mookie Betts and Fernando Tatis Jr. slipping down the ranks. Betts' health concerns and Tatis' inconsistent performance since his return from injury have left many wondering if they are still first-round talents. Are we undervaluing their potential, or is it time to accept that their best days may be behind them?
And what about Christian Yelich? With a solid spring performance but a history of injuries, is he a buy-low candidate, or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?
Let’s also not forget the intriguing case of Pete Crow-Armstrong. His spring training numbers are eye-popping, but can he translate that success to the regular season? Is he worth the investment at his current ADP, or is there too much risk involved?
I want to hear your thoughts! Who are you targeting in the late rounds, and who are you avoiding? Do you believe in the helium guys, or are you more cautious with your draft strategy? Let’s get the conversation going!
