Chandler Simpson - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

Chandler Simpson is a fantasy baseball waiver wire stash for Week 12 (2025). Target Chandler Simpson as a top prospect free-agent waiver wire pickup for fantasy baseball.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues

CALL-UP ETA: July

ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level. In his time in the majors, he hit .285 with 19 stolen bases in 35 games.

Unfortunately, being a valuable fantasy player doesn't always make you a valuable player, as he had an 83 WRC+ and was not a strong outfield defender, generating -.1 fWAR in this stint. That being said, the Rays clearly did value him a decent amount when they needed him to play, as he often hit at the top of the lineup.

You know what you're going to get with Simpson when he gets the call back to the majors. You're getting a lot of speed with a respectable batting average and zero power.

Simpson is going to get another chance in the majors this season. He might need an injury to another Rays outfielder, but he's shown what he can do for our fantasy teams already, which makes him a worthwhile stash in most roto/category formats.

Chandler Simpson is a great fantasy player.

He's not yet a great reality player, which is why he was optioned.

He'll be back.
