2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile

Kyle Tucker continued to be a model of consistency in 2025, delivering another elite fantasy campaign for the Chicago Cubs, though his numbers were visibly dampened by a lingering injury. The 29-year-old outfielder slashed .266/.377/.464 with 22 home runs and 25 stolen bases in 136 games. While he remained a five-category contributor, his power output dipped from his usual 30-homer standard, a regression largely attributed to a nagging issue that plagued him throughout the second half and clearly sapped his slugging percentage. Despite playing through the ailment, his elite plate discipline (14.6% BB rate) kept his floor high, and he still managed to drive in 91 runs and score 91 more, anchoring the Cubs' lineup.

Entering 2026, Tucker finds himself in a new uniform yet again, joining the Los Angeles Dodgers on a blockbuster 4-year, $240 million contract. This move, combined with a full offseason to recover, significantly boosts his fantasy stock. Hitting in one of the most potent lineups in baseball history alongside Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman, Tucker is a prime candidate for a massive statistical bounce-back. Projections are bullish, forecasting a return to 30-homer power and elite run production (100+ runs and RBI). With his health concerns in the rearview mirror and elite lineup protection, Tucker is a locked-in first-round pick who offers a rare blend of power, speed, and safety.
