What the staff says

JD on Ryan Weathers (Jun 17, 2026): I'm higher on Ryan Weathers than most but I am going to have to move him down in the rankings because he has not looked great in his last 3 starts (and 4 of his last 5). I love his stuff and I think he is going to be a great arm as he continues to settle into a rotation spot, but I think I was a little too aggressive ranking him at #36SP initially.

JD on Shohei Ohtani SP (Jul 22, 2026): From Bleacher Report: "The four-time MVP hasn't pitched since July 3 due to irritation in his left knee, but has remained part of the Dodgers' lineup in the meantime. Ohtani's knee troubles forced him to miss the 2026 All-Star Game. He also had a lubricant injected into his left knee to prepare for the second half of the year. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani would miss time before making his return to the mound. "Where we're at right now, how we're proceeding, I would say that it's going to be some time," Roberts said Sunday, per MLB.com's Sonja Chen. "I'd say that it's not going to be a day-to-day thing."" This is what I was worried about when it came to Ohtani and his value as a dynasty pitching asset. While he might be one of the best rate pitchers in the league. It's very unclear to me why the Dodgers would continue to trot him out every fifth or sixth day when he is so much more valuable as a hitter. They don't really have anything that significant to play for in the regular season that requires him to pitch on a regular basis. If I am in a league where Ohtani is split as a DH and SP, I think I am looking to move off of him as a pitcher because I have a hard time seeing a path to him accumulating more than 120 innings in a given season. It is likely that he won't pitch for you in the fantasy playoffs while they get him ready for the MLB playoffs.
