Fantasy Baseball: Boston Red Sox Studs, Breakout, and Sleepers
In this story:
Deep Sleeper: Roman Anthony, Boston Red Sox
In the high-stakes market, Anthony gets drafted as though he will earn starting at-bats for a significant part of this season. He profiles as a future middle-of-the-order bat with better speed than initially expected. His swing path was groundball favoring (48.0) last year in the minors, and Anthony has never had a fly-ball rate higher than 30.0% in a season in his brief time in professional baseball. When the ball is in the air, he has the power to put balls in the seats.
Anthony will need some time to develop at the major league level before becoming a trusted fantasy asset. He is a player to follow, and his best success should come over the second half of 2025. His early career path with Boston may parallel Christian Yelich's early days with Miami.
With 20+ years of experience in the high-stakes fantasy market, I aim to research and compete at the highest level in baseball and football each season. I've contributed as a writer/analyst for Sports Draft Daily, ScoutPro, Scout Fantasy, Fulltime Fantasy, FFToolbox, and Sports Illustrated Fantasy. I'm honored to be in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship Hall of Fame. My drafting philosophy is risk-averse yet open to betting on potential game-changers. I approach player selection with a neutral perspective, acknowledging that fantasy sports are inherently unpredictable due to injuries, performance dips, and managerial decisions. My work focuses on these main areas: - Season-long fantasy baseball and football - BestBall Baseball and Football Events - Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS): DraftKings, FanDuel, and Underdog - Long Shot Player Prop Parlays for NFL I participate in various leagues and contests, including NFBC, NFFC, RTSports, FFPC, DraftKings, Underdog Fantasy, FanDuel, and FFWC, with the goal of leveraging my extensive experience and research for success in each game format. A fantasy follower can expect in-depth profiles of NFL and MLB players, along with season-long and weekly projections for each fantasy football season. In addition, I have many strategy articles to help develop fantasy players' learning curves.
