What went wrong, and which disappointing players could become 2027 fantasy baseball values? Plus, Joe and Justin look ahead to 2027 fantasy baseball drafts, discussing PCA’s case for the No. 1 overall pick, Cade Cavalli’s rising draft cost, a potential Devin Williams rebound, George Kirby’s path back to fantasy relevance and several early buy-low candidates.

Joe Orrico is joined by FTN Fantasy’s Mike Mager, a back-to-back NFBC auction champion and one of the most accomplished players in high-stakes fantasy baseball, to break down the 2027 Meatball Draft and what it could tell us about next season’s fantasy baseball rankings and ADP.

Joe and Mike debate whether PCA belongs at the 1.01, how early pitchers should go in 2027 drafts, and whether breakout seasons from Jordan Walker and CJ Abrams justify first-round prices. They also dig into Konnor Griffin’s aggressive second-round selection, Gunnar Henderson’s bounce-back potential, Paul Skenes’ surprising fall, Gerrit Cole’s 2027 value and some fascinating discounts on former fantasy superstars.
