Landen Roupp a Must-Roster Waiver-Wire Target Amidst Hot Start to 2026
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp is off to an excellent start to the 2026 season, as he's posted a 4-1 record with a 2.28 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 31 strikeouts across his first five starts (27 2/3 innings). In his two most recent outings combined, Roupp has allowed just two hits and one earned run across 11 innings against the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers. While the 27-year-old's elevated 10.9% walk rate is less than ideal, he's raised his strikeout rate from 21.4% in 2025 to 28.2% so far this season. Roupp has also yet to allow a home run in 2026 and owns a 50.8% ground-ball rate. Particularly given his pitcher-friendly home environment in San Francisco, Roupp looks like a potential breakout starting pitcher in 2026. In any fantasy league where he's not already rostered, Roupp profiles as a high-priority waiver-wire target.
