FantasyPros Maps 2026 Second-Base Values and Sleepers as ADP Skews to 'Safety'

The site counsels a value-first plan that favors discounted veterans, multi-position stability, and late-round stashes over scarcity premiums.

Overview

  • FantasyPros releases a targeted second-base draft list for 2026 that urges managers to avoid overpaying for perceived safety created by a thin pool and distorted ADPs.
  • Ozzie Albies is labeled the cleanest value based on elite stretches when healthy and a current price that reflects recent injuries rather than long-term decline.
  • Marcus Semien is framed as a rebound value in a stronger Mets lineup, and Jorge Polanco gains volume-driven appeal with MLB.com projecting him to play first base in New York.
  • Jackson Holliday and Jordan Westburg are highlighted for upside tied to real adjustments, underlying power, and multi-position eligibility that can unlock playing-time value.
  • Late targets include Brendan Donovan as Seattle’s on-base stabilizer, Jeff McNeil in Oakland as a post–thoracic outlet surgery flier, and JJ Wetherholt as a stash if he opens with second-base eligibility.
