2026 Fantasy Outlook
There were many laggards in the Texas offense in 2025, including Duran, who was a shell of what he was just two seasons ago when the team won the World Series. Duran played himself into a reserve infielder role whose sole usable skill was his speed on the bases. The problem was Duran reached base 58 times all season so that speed was rarely on display. He hit zero homers as the league was more than comfortable challenging him with fastballs and sliders while using his impatience against him. Duran hit .304 gearing up for fastballs but his below .160 off everything else and the league fed him non-fastballs nearly 50% of the time. In this current shape and form, Duran lacks any fantasy value outside of the deepest AL-Only league who wants a flexible player on the bench that can steal a few bases. He is unusually dual eligible at first base and shorstop on draft day, but there is no reason to exercise draft capital here. Read Past Outlooks
