Yesavage’s debut, plus Duno’s late-season power surge, underscore the mix of proximity and projection that fantasy managers crave.

The piece keys on PPP—profile, performance, projection—to balance long-term upside against near-term value, guiding dynasty rosters as the 2025 season closes and 2026 pivots begin.

Dodgers bullpen collapse alarms fantasy managers as Los Angeles stumbles toward a possible wild-card path. A 6-5 loss to Philadelphia exposed an overtaxed relief corps, derailed by early homer exposure and late miscues, jeopardizing the bye that could reset their rotation and rest their arms. The plan to lean on Shohei Ohtani and a healthier Will Smith is urgent, while the front office’ inactivity at the deadline adds fear of deeper instability.

With only a dozen games left and a six-game gap to the Phillies, the postseason landscape tightens. The Dodgers must salvage the next series to avoid a brutal three-game wild-card sprint, especially given ongoing questions about bullpen solidity, catcher health, and rotation depth. Fantasy managers should watch bullpen roles, rotation tweaks, and the impact of this stretch on rest versus routine.
