Francisco Lindor

Francisco Lindor followed up his 30/30 season in 2023 with another outstanding performance in 2024. He hit 33 home runs, scored 107 runs, drove in 91, and stole 29 bases in 152 games. He slashed .273/.344/.500, contributing to his career-high xwOBA of .382. The 31-year-old just keeps on keeping on, causing many in the fantasy community to overlook him in that top echelon of shortstops. Lindor will get a boost hitting in front of the newly-acquired Juan Soto, possibly leading to another 30/30 season with 100 runs scored. There are no "Buyer Beware" stickers for one of the highest-floor fantasy players in the game.

Fantasy Impact

Lindor will return to the lineup for the first time since September 15th. He looked set to return on Wednesday before the game was postponed, so hopefully the few extra days of rest did the star shortstop some good. Given the Mets' chase for a playoff spot, they will do everything they can to have Lindor in the lineup as much as possible going forward.
