BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 245
CURRENT ADP: ~255 overall
ANALYSIS: New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was having an outstanding 2023 season before suffering a concussion in late May. Rather than hitting the injured list, he played 46 games with post-concussion symptoms and struggled immensely. Overall, his numbers for the year were underwhelming. He posted a .244/.328/.378 slash line and hit just 12 home runs in 99 total games. However, before the injury, he slashed 304/.376/.505 with 62 hits, 11 HRs, 30 runs scored, and 32 RBI. Despite that, his current NFBC ADP is 275.
According to reports, he is feeling healthy going into the 2024 season. With that in mind, Rizzo could be one of the most valuable first-base options in fantasy baseball for 2024 fantasy baseball drafts. ATC projections are on board with this assessment and project the veteran with another 20-plus home run season out of Rizzo in 2024.
