2026 Fantasy Outlook
Fairbanks finally managed to stay healthy for a full season, posting career-highs in games played (61) and innings (60.1) for Tampa Bay. The 32-year-old also established a new career-high with 27 saves for a 77.1 percent team save share that was seventh-highest among closers. However, for the second straight year, the right-hander's strikeout rate hovered around 24 percent; a steep drop from his career mark (30 percent) and prior outputs from the 2019 through 2023 campaigns. This, combined with Fairbanks' durability concerns, may have played into the Rays' decision to decline his $11M option for 2026, thus making him a free-agent. Fairbanks should still attract plenty of interest on the relief market due to his reliability in high-leverage situations, but save chances are no guarantee. On average, the veteran has been the 15th closer off the board in early 2026 drafts, but it's tough to get behind that ADP until he signs and we know who he's competing with for saves.
