2026 Fantasy Outlook

Edwards showcased his upside in 2024 with a .328 average, 31 stolen bases and an .820 OPS over 70 games, but he was unable to fully translate that success into a full season last year. He finished with a .283/.343/.353 slash line in 139 games during 2025, and he actually saw a drop in his stolen base production (27) despite having more than twice as many plate appearances. His power was unsurprisingly minimal with three homers and a .070 ISO, and he ranked bottom 11 in qualified batters in both average exit velocity (86.8 mph) and hard-hit rate (29.4 percent). Edwards' elite speed offsets some of the weak contact, but he still likely deserved worse results with a .262 xBA and .329 xSLG. His poor defense at shortstop (minus-3 DRS and minus-4 OAA) prompted a position change, and he fared much better at second base with a plus-12 DRS and plus-9 OAA. Edwards will have dual-position eligibility in 2026, but fantasy managers should be wary about expecting too much from the 26-year-old, whose only real upside comes in the form of his average and stolen bases.
