2026 Fantasy Outlook

Taillon has found some success for the Cubs the last two seasons, though injuries have ultimately capped his performance. In 2025, the veteran righty posted 3.68 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 98 strikeouts in 23 starts across 129.2 innings while also making two trips to the injured list. Taillon's K/9 has fallen to 6.80 each of the last two years, which has coincided with his average fastball dropping down below 93 mph after sitting around 95 mph earlier in his career. Entering his 10th season in the majors in 2026, Taillon is unlikely to see his velocity or strikeouts ramp back up. However, he has seemingly learned how to be effective with his current repertoire, and he figures to get decent run support from a strong Chicago lineup. Taillon's injury history and lack of elite stuff certainly cap his fantasy upside moving forward, but he could still string together a few wins while not being a drain on ERA or WHIP.
