In my latest for @ftnfantasy.com, I broke down 7️⃣ players that public projection systems are too low on entering the 2026 season

I compared our FTN model to the public systems and also included some gut calls

One of my favourite articles in a long time, check it out!

7 Hitters Public Projections Are Too Low On

Projections systems are usually pretty solid, but Joe Orrico has identified seven players the systems appear to be off on for fantasy baseball in 2026.

Chris Towers is in Offseason Mode

@cptowers.bsky.social

Despite the injuries he has dealt with, Kyle Tucker's per-162 game average over the past three seasons is:

.278-107-32-102-29

And now he's in the best lineup in baseball.

I get some will hold the injuries against him, but I just don't think fractures should be a big concern moving forward.
