Outlook Freddie Freeman
Freddie Freeman remains a top-tier fantasy cornerstone with elite contact and premium counting-stat upside
Freddie Freeman enters his age-36 season fully locked in as the everyday starter at first base for a juggernaut Los Angeles lineup. Historically batting near the top of the order, he enjoys some of the best lineup protection in baseball, which guarantees a massive floor for runs and runs batted in. Despite his veteran status, Freeman has shown remarkable durability and consistency, remaining a highly coveted anchor for any fantasy roster.
Our season projection expects Freeman to be a highly valuable five-category contributor. Our data projects him to secure nearly 160 hits, 88 runs, 24 home runs, and 88 RBI while posting an elite .289 batting average and a strong .362 on-base percentage. He also chips in with a projected eight stolen bases, keeping him ahead of nearly all other options at the first-base position in terms of category versatility.
With an average draft position of 67.00, Freeman represents an outstanding value as a second- or third-round pick who provides draft stability. He is a high-floor, highly reliable asset who can stabilize your batting average while delivering excellent power and run production. Draft him with confidence as a premium starting option.

Latest News Freddie Freeman
Outlook Ian Happ
Ian Happ's power surge makes him an elite start in a Coors Field-boosted week.
Happ has been locked in of late, slashing .294/.333/.686 with four home runs and 14 RBIs over his last 14 days, a hot stretch that included celebrating his 1,000th career hit. He remains the locked-in everyday left fielder for the fourth-place Cubs (34-32) as they look to climb the NL Central standings and rebound from a recent loss.
While Happ's current .232 average aligns with his typical career mark, his 14 home runs in 62 games put him on track to easily exceed our remaining 20-homer projection. His high strikeout rate remains a category drag, but his excellent on-base skills and recent high-leverage RBI production prove this power surge is legitimate.
The Cubs embark on a six-game road trip, highlighted by a three-game series at hitter-friendly Coors Field where they will face high-ERA Colorado pitchers like Michael Lorenzen (8.33 ERA). With three subsequent games in San Francisco against highly beatable arms, Happ sits in an elite spot this week. Start him across all formats.
