Gausman, Y. Díaz, Burger, Sheehan, Meadows

Can Gausman remain a top fantasy starter?… Kevin Gausman (RHP, TOR) followed up his career-best 2021 season (2.81 ERA, 1.04 WHIP) with a drop from $31 in rotisserie value to only $14 in 2022, and though he bounced back nicely in 2023 ($24), there was a sizable gap between his first-half ($30) and second-half ($14) performances. Where should we set our expectations for 2024 after all these recent swings in value?
