Highlights from this year's C projections

Being a catcher is a selfless gig. Constant 100 mph fouls off the body, messed up knees and a necessary focus on a pitching game-plan (vs your own hitting). As a result, it's tough to find a consistently good fantasy catcher. Guys like Will Smith and William Contreras are rare, especially since they stay relatively healthy and play a lot.

Keep an eye on Rutschman in 2025. Fences are being brought in at Camden and all those young studs are one year more experienced. Adley is one of the captains and should get a solid number of starts at DH (keeping him relatively rested). A second half slide is fairly typical with catchers but we expect him to be locked in from day one.

Sleeper watch

If you've seen him at the plate, O'Hoppe seems to hit nothing but screaming liners. A short, compact swing, he's sort of a bigger version of Trout. Of course, with a much lower ceiling but his approach is comparable. Unfortunately, he's been bit by the injury bug on a regular basis in his career -- a healthy 2025 could finally propel him into the top tier of catchers. Most drafts will see him available around the 15th round -- if you still need a C, don't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Who are the top 5 catchers going into 2025?

This list is still fluid until opening day but as of today, here are the top guys at the position (listed here by projected FanDuel points)...
