4 years agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher Zach Britton will be the team’s primary closer if closer Aroldis Chapman isn’t ready for the start of the season, according to manager Aaron Boone. Chapman was diagnosed with coronavirus on Saturday and has been showing symptoms, so fantasy owners should expect Britton to start the season as the closer for the Yankees. An elite reliever with a 1.83 ERA since 2014, Britton becomes a strong value pick at his 498 ADP. Even if Chapman only misses the first week of the season, Britton should be a top-tier fantasy closer during that time, making Britton draftable around pick 200 or earlier depending on Chapman's recovery.--Sam Chinitz
