Outlook Gerrit Cole
Elite Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is a premier target for fantasy rotations.
Gerrit Cole enters the 2026 campaign locked in as the high-end anchor of the New York Yankees rotation. As the veteran slots in as the team's number two starter on the depth chart, his role is as secure as they come in a highly competitive AL East division. Cole has established himself as one of the most durable and reliable workhorses in the game, and he once again sits in a prime position to pile up quality starts and wins for a strong New York squad.
Our season projections expect another dominant campaign from the 35-year-old righty. Cole is projected to throw 115.0 innings, racking up 200 strikeouts against just 33 walks while producing a stellar 3.44 ERA and an elite 1.12 WHIP. This projections-backed confidence is supported by a rich career history, including a remarkable 2023 season where he registered a 2.66 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. He remains a premium asset for fantasy managers seeking elite strikeout volume and pristine ratio control.
Fantasy managers can comfortably draft Cole as a front-line starter. Although his current ADP of 169.42 reflects some market caution, our models suggest he remains a high-floor, high-upside option who should outperform his draft-day cost. He is a premier top-tier fantasy starter who can single-handedly stabilize your pitching staff's ERA and WHIP categories.

Outlook Jacob Misiorowski
Jacob Misiorowski's historic run makes him a must-start ace for the division-leading Brewers.
Jacob Misiorowski has been utterly spectacular for the first-place Brewers, boasting a microscopic 0.75 ERA and 0.56 WHIP with 50 strikeouts over his last 30 days. He currently slots in as the staff anchor for Milwaukee, who lead the NL Central with a 46-29 record. The young phenom was recently given some pre-scheduled extra rest to preserve his arm but is locked in to start this Friday.
While our models project some regression toward a 4.01 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 139.0 projected innings, Misiorowski's current 1.46 ERA and elite 13.46 K/9 through 92.3 innings suggest he has truly leveled up. His devastating triple-digit fastball and improved control (only 23 walks) make him a firm front-runner for major accolades. Expect his elite strikeout rate to remain a significant fantasy asset.
Misiorowski has a single scheduled start this week on Friday, June 26, at home against the Cubs. He faces Colin Rea, who carries a shaky 5.14 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, making this a highly favorable matchup for the Brewers' ace. Our weekly projection expects a dominant performance with nearly 10 strikeouts, making him a mandatory option in all formats. Verdict: Start.
