Starting Pitcher Rankings Analysis: The Tiers

Tier 7

By now, most owners have already selected three or four pitchers, so it’s time to look for upside. Two of my favorite pitchers this year are Kevin Gausman and Carlos Rodon. Both pitchers have one major flaw that have kept them from making the jump to the next level — command for Rodon, keeping the ball in the park for Gausman — and both have the stuff to get over the hump and break out in 2017. Anthony DeSclafani (3.28 ERA, 3.50 K/BB across 123.1 IP in 2016) is also a breakout candidate.

Questions surround several other pitchers in this tier. Drew Pomeranz was dominant in San Diego, but endured some struggles upon his move to Boston (4.59 ERA), so there is a fair amount of risk that comes with drafting him in mixed leagues. Garrett Richards is not only coming off a major injury, but also took a step back across the board in 2015. He remains incredibly talented, but is almost 29 with just one full season under his belt. I’m more likely to take a flier on Richards than on Pomeranz.

Tier 8

The most interesting name here is Sonny Gray. After finishing third in AL Cy Young voting in 2015, he labored through an incomprehensibly poor 2016 season, but the consensus among our rankers seems to be that the 27-year-old will bounce back and maintain mixed-league viability.

Vincent Velasquez, Jerad Eickhoff, Joe Ross and Tyler Anderson all eclipsed 100 innings for the first time in their respective careers last year, and will look to move forward in their second full seasons. Adam Wainwright and Francisco Liriano suffered rough 2016 campaigns and appear to be on the back end of their careers, but could still bounce back with decent performances this year.

Three former Rays — Drew Smyly, Matt Moore and Jeremy Hellickson — have something to prove in 2017. Smyly will be pitching in a new home park in Seattle, and will look to replicate his 2015 success. Moore will need to find his pre-injury form — and sustain it over the course of an entire season — if he wants to hold onto any mixed-league value. Finally, Hellickson must show that his 2016 resurrection was not a fluke in order to regain the trust of fantasy owners. I am most encouraged by Smyly, who is just 27 years old and showed a lot of promise down the stretch in 2016.

Of course, the news of Alex Reyes’ impending Tommy John surgery drops him far down this list.

Tier 9

Here you can find a bunch of promising prospects and a couple of guys who once were top prospects but now come with some concerns. Blake Snell has off-the-chart stuff and can become a hot commodity in mixed leagues if he can limit his free passes. Joe Musgrove and Luke Weaver, on the other hand, possess above-average control and should only improve in 2017 with some added experience.

On the other end of the spectrum, Taijuan Walker saw his FIP skyrocket up to 4.99 in his age-23 season, and while he’s still young — and clearly our rankings suggest that we all still have at least an ounce of faith — time is running out for him to figure it out. Additionally, Alex Cobb missed nearly two full seasons and was dreadful in limited work late in 2016. Two consecutive seasons with a sub-3.00 ERA before the injury provides Cobb with a lingering sense of optimism, but it’s never a guarantee that a guy who has missed this much time will rediscover his top form.

Tier 10

While I do see Jharel Cotton’s potential, it appears my colleagues are much more excited about the 25-year-old’s first full season in the big leagues. He can rack up strikeouts in bunches using a solid fastball-changeup combo, but lacks a strong breaking ball, and major league hitters could begin to adjust.

Alternatively, I appear to be the only who hasn’t given up on Michael Wacha. While I never expected the Cardinals to remove him from the staff, the Alex Reyes injury essentially locks up a rotation spot for Wacha. He is still just 25 years old, and while his 5.09 ERA is far from enticing, a 3.91 FIP and an unusually high BABIP indicate that his 2016 season is likely the outlier. I’m willing to take a chance on Wacha if his price drops on draft day.

I can’t write about this tier without including Bartolo Colon, who, despite joining a new NL East team, has shown no signs of slowing down and remains a reliable, deep-league option.

Tier 11

I’ll start this off by saying I am extremely concerned about Steven Wright’s major fall from grace in the second half (5.06 ERA, 2.68 before All-Star break), and would not take a shot on the 32-year-old this early.

On the other hand, Dylan Bundy belongs in a better tier. The former top prospect got his first chance in the majors last year, posting a respectable 4.02 ERA and managing one of the lowest hard hit percentages (28.0%) in the league.

In retrospect, Chris Tillman probably isn’t a top-250 player and should be moved down on my list— especially considering he may begin the season on the DL with a shoulder injury. Finally, Jordan Zimmermann endured the worst season of his career at age 32, and none of us really expect him to return to form in 2017.

Tier 12

Ervin Santana, Ian Kennedy and Gio Gonzalez have all been inconsistent over the last three years, each posting a sub-4.00 ERA twice in that span. All three pitchers can be used in deeper mixed formats, but lack the upside of many of the guys higher on this list.

Tyler Skaggs displayed some real potential late in 2016 after nearly a two-year absence. His 22.8% strikeout and 3.95 FIP are legitimate causes for excitement heading into 2017. Additionally, Mike Montgomery showed some nice things between roles and teams in 2016, and should be the frontrunner for the Cubs’ fifth rotation spot. In he were to win the job out of spring training, the 27-year-old southpaw could begin to appear on mixed-league radars.

Tier 13

Luis Severino is the most intriguing guy here. He followed up a spectacular rookie season with a 5.83 ERA and a demotion to the bullpen in 2016, but emerges as a post-hype sleeper one year after being drafted as a top-40 starting pitcher. Last year, Severino actually improved upon his strikeout and walk rates and lowered his HR/FB ratio, so there is reason for optimism regarding the soon-to-be 23-year-old.

As for the rest of this tier, Tyson Ross stands out, as well. The 29-year-old started opening day for the Padres but missed the entire rest of the season with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Now with the Rangers, he could return to top form and once again become a must-own in all formats if he can stay healthy. Furthermore, Brandon McCarthy has thrown just 63 total innings over the last two years and has heavy competition for Los Angeles’ No. 5 rotation slot, so I’m surprised to see him ranked in the top 250 for anybody.

Tier 14

The deepest tier features a wide array of arms. Most of these pitchers hold some value simply because they should take the ball every fifth day, accumulating wins and strikeouts in the process. Otherwise, C.C. Sabathia and R.A. Dickey could still be somewhat productive, but are on their way out and could wind up losing their jobs. Mike Foltynewicz and Zach Wheeler each received a vote of confidence inside the top 300, but both will need to earn rotation spots before fantasy owners can fully trust them in mixed leagues.

Most important in this group are Jose De Leon, Lucas Giolito and Jose Berrios. All three have limited major league exposure, each one struggling in his first stint in the big leagues in 2016. Additionally, all three pitch for teams unlikely to make a real playoff push. Still, they are top prospects with immense talent and potential, and, at the very least, make for solid keeper/dynasty-league draft selections.

Tier 15

As with most positions, there’s not much to like about the bottom tier. Whether it’s a pitcher past his prime, a veteran who have never made much of an impact, or a young pitcher with very limited upside, it’s hard to get excited.

One name to keep an eye on is Matt Wisler. A 5.00 ERA for the Braves last year is quite unappealing, but he actually improved upon his 2015 numbers in FIP (4.85), xFIP (4.71), K% (17.1%), BB% (7.3%), BABIP (.279) and GB/FB (1.05). Still just 24 years old, Wisler will have to fight for a rotation spot, but if he does earn one of the five slots, he could be an intriguing NL-only option.

Dallas Goedert Top Landing Spots: 2025 NFL Trade Outlook

The Philadelphia Eagles are apparently attempting to trade their top tight end, Dallas Goedert, for at least a fourth-round pick in compensation. Whether or not they get their wish remains to be seen, but Goedert was still a reasonably productive TE in his final year with the Eagles with injuries aside. Part of the reason […]

NFL Free Agency Tracker - Updates On Every Free Agent Signing (2025)

The NFL offseason is starting to heat up, and the league's legal tampering period is set to begin on March 10 at noon Eastern. Free agents cannot officially sign until the new league year begins on March 12 at 4 p.m. Eastern, but deals will be agreed to, and news will be coming in quickly […]

Kareem Hunt Top Landing Spots: 2025 NFL Free Agency Outlook

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had a decent season filling in for the injured Isiah Pacheco and later serving in a committee with him when he returned from his broken fibula. He was technically signed "off the street" as he wasn't even in the NFL when the Chiefs reached out to him for […]

Joe Flacco Top Landing Spots: 2025 NFL Free Agency Outlook

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco has hit the open market, and the Colts have decided to go in another direction for their backup QB job. They signed former New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daniel Jones to back up Anthony Richardson, though many are rightfully convinced that Jones will end up as the starter, […]

Brandin Cooks Top Landing Spots: 2025 NFL Free Agency Outlook

Wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a free agent for the first time in his career after his contract with the Dallas Cowboys expired this offseason. He is now free to sign with any team he chooses. Cooks did not have his best season in 2024. He only posted a 26-259-3 line in 10 games and […]

Gus Edwards Top Landing Spots: 2025 NFL Free Agency Outlook

The Los Angeles Chargers recently cut Gus Edwards after one season with the team. He had just signed a two-year deal with Los Angeles last offseason, but apparently, the team wanted to go in a different direction. It’s understandable as Edwards averaged a career-worst 3.6 yards per carry in 2024. His advanced metrics weren’t great […]

Ranking Each NFL Team's Group of Pass-Catchers (WR/TE)

The NFL has become a passing league. It's been like that for a while now; it's no mystery. Wide receivers and tight ends are some of the most popular players in the league. For fantasy football, we have continued to emphasize receivers more than running backs. NFL general managers are doing the same. For goodness […]

2025 NFL Draft Boom-or-Bust Prospects: Fantasy Football’s Biggest Wild Cards

It can be hard to determine how successful some players will be in the NFL. There is a vast array of skills players must possess at different positions to succeed at the next level, and while generally only the best college football players are chosen early in the NFL Draft, they don't always pan out.

Fantasy Football Running Back Sleepers For PPR Leagues: 2025 RB Draft Values

A running back who plays a big percentage of the snaps and catches a lot of passes can easily be a league-winner in fantasy football, especially in PPR formats. A catch counts for the same amount of points as a 10-yard rush does, and it's far easier to catch a football than it is to […]
