2025 Fantasy Outlook
Espinoza was the only bright spot for San Jose in 2024. He scored four goals and added 14 assists in what was one of the worst offenses in the league. It speaks to Espinoza's talent that he was productive even in such a dreadful year. With wholesale changes throughout the starting XI, the future is uncertain for Espinoza, though it's unlikely anyone takes his set-piece role. If he gets a truly elite striker to finish his chances he could push for MVP candidacy, if not, he could be left making the most of a bad situation for yet another year.
Could miss out Friday
Espinoza is listed as questionable for Friday's match against Atlanta due to a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
ANALYSIS
Espinoza is dealing with a lower-body concern, and his questionable status is one of the more impactful on the entire Friday report, given his role as one of Nashville's primary creative forces. He's a player with real fantasy value when healthy and in the lineup, and losing him on top of Yazbek's absence would meaningfully affect Nashville's attacking output. If he were to miss out, Shak Mohammed or Ahmed Qasem would be possible replacements.
