MLB:
With Bednar taking over the Yankees' closer duties, should fantasy managers stash Williams as a high-leverage option or pivot entirely to Bednar this coming week?
Qwiket AI:
Bednar's return has given NYY a concrete closer option with a 1.84 ERA and 35% strikeouts since returning, suggesting Williams should be viewed as a lower-leverage back-end reliever for now. Williams could still contribute in holds-plus formats, but the safe play is to roster Bednar and monitor Williams for a potential uptick if Bednar hits a bump.
