Friday’s FanDuel slate hinges on midrange pitching and selective leverage. Bieber and Gallen trade as the primary pay-ups, while Alcantara looks mispriced given recent form. McDonald offers multi-entry GPP upside. Ramirez and Carroll headline safe-floor and ceiling potential, with bargain bats like Baldwin, Harris, Altuve, Correa and Yoshida in play for salary relief. Stacks center on Giants-Rockies with Adames/Chapman-Ramos and Royals with Perez-Pasquantino-Pesq to maximize value.

Aaron Judge tops the 2025 fantasy rankings, with Shohei Ohtani not far behind as the premier two-way asset. The list blends proven stars like Ramírez, Lindor, and Yordan Álvarez with high-upside youngsters such as Caminero, De La Cruz and Neto, while emphasizing a strong pitching base led by Skubal and the ace tier surrounding Yamamoto and Gilbert. It’s a blueprint for balanced rosters, prioritizing durability, five-category productivity, and upside late in drafts.

Expect a tiered approach: secure elite power and speed up top, chase multi-category stability in the middle rounds, and target high-upside rookies and breakout arms in the late rounds. The guide blends risk and reward, highlighting both steady veterans and dynamic rookies who could reshape the 2026 season fantasy landscape.
