The top two players by both FantasyPros consensus ranking and NFBC ADP, Mike Trout and Mookie Betts, are outfielders. Another top-four player, Kris Bryant, is outfield-eligible. Two more outfielders, Bryce Harper and Charlie Blackmon, will likely be off the board within your draft’s first 15 picks. There are about three times as many outfielders as any other position in the majors, other than pitcher, but this is not an important-by-default spot. The star power runs deep.
Fantasy owners can find anything their teams need patrolling the grass beyond the infield. Need some power? Eleven outfielders hit 30 homers, and five more hit 29.
