Finding players who can outperform their 2021 Fantasy baseball ADP can help ensure you have the depth necessary to survive the season. As owners everywhere begin their 2021 Fantasy baseball draft prep, identifying potential 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers is a top priority. Last season, Angels first baseman Jared Walsh wound up being a pleasant surprise for anyone who claimed him off waivers.
Walsh hit nine homers and drove in 26 runs while slashing .293/.324/.646 over 32 games. Now, he'll enter the 2021 season as the team's starting first baseman. Considering that Walsh had a .256 BABIP, there's at least some reason to believe that Walsh can build on those incredible numbers, but where does he belong in your 2021 Fantasy baseball rankings? Before you go on the clock, check out the 2021 Fantasy baseball cheat sheets and rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last season, SportsLine's Projection Model identified several top Fantasy baseball sleepers, including Dodgers catcher Will Smith. The 25-year-old was No. 6 catcher in Fantasy baseball last year, outperforming Yasmani Grandal, Mitch Garver and Gary Sanches, who were all drafted well ahead of him on average. Smith wound up hitting eight home runs with 25 RBIs and posting a .980 OPS that was over 70 points better than in his breakout season in 2019.
The team at SportsLine was all over Smith as a Fantasy sleeper from the start. Their model had him listed much higher than expert consensus rankings, and anyone who listened to their advice was well positioned for a league title.
Their model is powered by the same people who powered projections for all three major Fantasy sites. And that same group is sharing its 2021 Fantasy baseball rankings and cheat sheets over at SportsLine, helping you find Fantasy baseball sleepers, breakouts and busts long before your competition. Their cheat sheets, available for leagues on many major sites, are updated multiple times every day. Any time an injury occurs or there's a change on a depth chart, the team at SportsLine updates its Fantasy baseball cheat sheets.
In fact, when it came to ranking players in Fantasy football, SportsLine's Projection Model beat human experts last season when there were big differences in ranking. And the model was the closest to the hole overall, meaning it best pinpointed where every player would finish each week. That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.
Now, the model has simulated the entire 2021 MLB schedule 10,000 times and revealed its top 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers, breakouts, and busts. You can get its Fantasy baseball cheat sheets 2021 here.
Top 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers
One of the 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers the model is all over: Cubs center fielder Ian Happ. The former consensus top-100 prospect has had to battle for opportunities in a star-studded Cubs lineup over the last four years, but he has delivered consistently at the plate with a career .825 OPS and finally appears to be the everyday starter in center field.
Happ slashed.253/.361/.505 with 12 home runs and 28 RBIs in 2020. He also posted a career-high 91.1 mph average exit velocity and a career-high 48.5 percent hard-hit contact rate. The switch-hitter hit 11 of his 12 home runs from the left side of the plate against right-handed pitching and should be near the top of a talented Cubs lineup. That's why the model ranks him ahead of center fielders like Trent Grisham and Luis Robert, who are being drafted 13 rounds earlier on average.
Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy baseball rankings 2021 are extremely high on: Astros outfielder/DH Michael Brantley. He turned in a strong performance during the shortened 2020 season with an .840 OPS to earn a two-year, $32 million contract to stay with the Astros.
Still, Brantley has been the eighth designated hitter off the board in standard CBS Sports Fantasy baseball leagues, even though the model ranks him as its fourth-best option at the position. It puts him ahead of players like Shohei Ohtani, Jorge Soler and J.D. Martinez, who are all being drafted close to six rounds earlier, according to the latest 2021 Fantasy baseball ADP.
How to find proven 2021 Fantasy baseball rankings
SportsLine is also high on a first baseman with a Fantasy baseball ADP 2021 barely inside the top 10 who finishes ahead of studs like defending AL MVP Jose Abreu and Yankees first baseman Luke Voit. This pick could be the difference in winning your league or going home with nothing. You can see who it is here.
So which 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers should you snatch in your draft? And which undervalued first baseman can help you win a championship? Visit SportsLine now to get Fantasy baseball rankings for every single position, all from the model that called Will Smith's huge breakout last season, and find out.
