Luis Robert Jr. 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Elite Production When Healthy
11 months agoChicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. played a career-high 145 games in 2023. The 26-year-old slashed .264/.315/.542 with 38 homers, 80 RBI, 90 runs, and 20 stolen bases across 590 plate appearances. He supported his slash line with a .508 xSLG, .344 wOBA, and a 15.2 percent barrel rate. There are some durability concerns with Robert. Before 2023, he played in just 166 games over two seasons, missing time due to a sprained MCL and other injuries. When healthy, he is a top-10 fantasy outfielder, and ATC projections are on board with that assessment. ATC projects Robert with a .271/.320/.495 slash line with 30 home runs and stolen 19 bases over 599 plate appearances. Chicago's offense is near the bottom of the league and isn't projected to improve in 2024, affecting his runs and RBI totals. However, Robert is a solid pick in the early rounds (NFBC ADP of 30) as long as he can stay off the injured list.
