FACTS/FLUKES: W. Smith, Yelich, Wacha, Av. Garcia, Jos. Gray

Smith solidifies top-tier catcher status … Will Smith (C, LA) followed his 2021 breakout ($15 R$) with a .260 BA and 24 HR in a career-high 578 PA ($19 R$). He enters 2023 with a 51 ADP, making him the third catcher off the board in most fantasy leagues. Is it fair to expect more of the same?
