Dylan Nealis
27-Year-Old
New York Red Bulls
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nealis was a rock in defense for the Red Bulls, helping his side reach the MLS Cup final for the first time in history. The center-back posted 35 appearances (30 starts), ranking fourth in interceptions and third in clearances while leading the team with 80 tackles and 93 aerial duels. Nealis remains a locked-in starter when fit, but there isn't a ton of upside for fantasy purposes as he had just three goal involvements on the season. That said, he's a safe option to pile up floor points from defensive actions while playing for a team that should be toward the top of the Eastern Conference standings. He's probably more of a streaming option in good matchups rather than an every-week starter for fantasy.

Nets first goal of season
Nealis scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing once accurately, creating a chance and making eight clearances during Saturday's 1-0 win over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Nealis found the back of the net in the 74th minute claiming all three points for the Red Bulls while leading the team with his lone chance created. The goal was the first of the season for Nealis as he made his first start since April in the match.
