Jazz Chisholm Jr. Not Providing Fantasy Managers With Much Power
It's been a frustrating season so far for New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who enters Week 7 with a .207 average (30-for-145) with only four home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, 16 walks, and 46 strikeouts in 163 plate appearances across 40 games played in his second full season in the Bronx. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star hit a career-high 31 home runs, drove in 80 runs, and stole 31 bases in his first full year with the Yanks in 2025, making him the clear top option at second base in fantasy going into the 2026 campaign. Chisholm is still providing useful speed on the basepaths, but his power numbers are down early on, and he has a bad combination of ranking in the 20th percentile in strikeout rate and the 26th percentile in hard-hit rate. In 10 games so far in May, Chisholm has gone 8-for-36 (.222) with a homer, double, four RBI, four runs, and two steals. He hasn't had a multi-hit game since April 26. It's still early, though, so there's a buy-low opportunity for his power/speed potential.
