Brady House Emerging as a Priority Early-Season Waiver-Wire Target
Washington Nationals third baseman Brady House struggled in his first taste of MLB action in 2025, posting a .574 OPS with just four home runs across 274 plate appearances. Early on in 2026, House appears to have turned a corner. The 22-year-old is hitting .255/.321/.431 with two home runs, five RBI, and seven runs scored across his first 56 plate appearances of the year. House also looks to have locked down every day playing time and a prominent spot in the Nationals lineup, as he's batted third in nine of his 13 games played so far this season. With a 28.6% strikeout rate, swing-and-miss remains a concern in House's profile. Still, he's logged an impressive 11.4% barrel rate and improved his walk rate by six percentage points from 2025. In leagues where he's not already rostered, House profiles as a worthy waiver wire target for fantasy managers across most league formats.
