2026 Fantasy Outlook

The Astros signed Walker last offseason in hopes that he could replace some of the offense they were going to lose with the departures of Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker. The former Diamondback wound up having easily his worst season in four years from a rate stats perspective, finishing with just a .717 OPS. Walker was perfectly fine in fantasy, though, finishing as the No. 16 first baseman thanks mostly to 27 home runs and 88 RBI. The 35-year-old's chase rate was way up (28.1 percent) and so was his strikeout rate (career-high 27.7 percent), which could point to not meshing with a new hitting coach and/or trying to do too much after signing a big contract. Walker hit just .202/.279/.342 with eight home runs at home, which was odd since he's a flyball, pull-heavy hitter who had the Crawford Boxes to aim at. Some positive regression there is likely, and with Walker's quality of contact in 2025 looking typical, he could be a solid value in 2026 drafts. Read Past Outlooks
