I’m lobbing this in a little late so you might not ever see this comment, but I was somewhat surprised there was no discussion of Austin Wells in this group. He’s #2 in WAR for rookies, and #7 by wRC+. Not to mention he’s a Catcher, so while his $ value isn’t astronomical, it is very valuable particularly considering the $1-$2 most had to spend to draft him in deep leagues. Lastly, his offensive performance has stronger in the 2nd half which is pretty rare for this position. Suggests to me there could be further fantasy value growth in the years to come. Thanks.

He was only left out bc of his PA count. I just did the Top 10 by PA for this episode. We will deep dive the WHOLE rookie class after the season and make sure Wells get his shine!
