Yes, his command has been spotty, but at least he’s delivering positive value and you know he’s capable of racking up the Ks when he’s on (26 per cent K rate since the start of 2021, putting him in the 82nd percentile).

Similar to Willis, Pickett is ready to start on a pro team for our money, but where he lands will dictate his Fantasy value. If Pickett winds up in Seattle, for instance, his ability to pass the ball downfield would work perfectly with the Seahawks’ compliment of receivers (what sounds better: Lock to Lockett or Pickett to Lockett?).

While it may take a little while to embrace the new controls, the strides made in terms of presentation should be immediately welcomed. Wrestlers look more lifelike, crowds react better, the lighting is excellent, entrances are rendered splendidly, and it just feels more like you’re watching the televised product.

Sanmartin showed enough promise in his brief taste of the bigs last year that he’s now the No. 2 man in the Reds rotation. The southpaw went undefeated in two very impressive starts last season, making him another serious sleeper worthy of grabbing early to see how things play out. Yes, Sanmartin had a rough debut Friday, but we expect much better from him going forward.
