- Scott White released his weekly two-start pitcher rankings for Fantasy Week 16 (July 6-12), categorizing hurlers into usability tiers for fantasy managers
- Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers tops the must-start, all-formats tier with two road matchups against the Cardinals and Pirates
- Cristopher Sanchez and Zack Wheeler of the Phillies both land in the must-start tier, facing the Royals/Tigers and Reds/Tigers respectively on the road
- Paul Skenes (Pirates) and Tarik Skubal (Tigers) rank in the must-start tier with home matchups against Atlanta/Milwaukee and Athletics/Philadelphia
- Jacob deGrom (Rangers) draws the Angels and Astros at home while Max Meyer (Marlins) faces the Mariners and Guardians, both rounding out the must-start list

Why it matters: Fantasy baseball managers setting Week 16 (July 6-12) lineups get a tiered breakdown separating must-start two-start pitchers from spot-start options, with the Phillies uniquely placing two starters (Sanchez and Wheeler) in the top tier — a stacking opportunity for roster construction.
