First base, long a bedrock of production in the fantasy game, is undergoing a bit of an existential crisis. There is still plenty of star power at the position in the form of Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Rizzo, Miguel Cabrera, Joey Votto and Edwin Encarnacion. Freddie Freeman is coming off the best year of his career, and most fantasy owners can opt for Kris Bryant at first. If you invest an early pick or significant resources in the position, you will not be disappointed.
After those seven players, however, there are more questions than answers. Jose Abreu had a big second half last year, but his tepid first half brings into question his ability to be a consistent top-tier player.
