Ian Happ

Happ doubled home a pair of runs in the first, and then swatted a solo shot off an ineffective Zac Gallen to extend the Cubs' lead to 4-2. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2024 campaign where he socked 25 homers and stolen 13 bases in a solid -- if unspectacular -- fantasy campaign. Happ should be in line for similiar numbers in 2025. You can do a lot worse.

Gallen was given the Opening Day nod over Corbin Burnes, and it didn't go particularly well. He issued four walks while throwing just 43-of-83 pitches for strikes, and he also gave up a solo shot to Ian Happ. It's just one start, but fantasy managers have the right to be disappointed. Just don't do anything stupid. Gallen will try and bounce back against the Yankees next week.

There simply isn't a spot for Alcantara in Chicago with Kyle Tucker, Ian Happ and Pete Crow-Armstrong locked into starting roles and Seiya Suzuki handling DH duty. The 22-year-old top prospect sipped a quick cup of coffee in the big leagues last year and should get an extended opportunity at some point in the near future after some additional seasoning at the Triple-A level.
