12 pass catchers averaged 10 expected fantasy points or below PLUS 2 or more fantasy points over expected per game in 2024. This list provides us with players who might be better for bestball than managed leagues based on limited volume yet high-end efficiency.

For context, Cantillo threw his changeup in the zone 45.3% of the time to right-handed hitters in 2025. The Twins hitters whiffed on the changeup low in the zone and on the outside corner.
