Riley Greene had a strong 2024 season with 24 home runs and 64 walks in 137 games. However, despite being on track for 40 home runs in 2025, his 32.3% strikeout rate raises concerns about his value in ESPN standard points leagues. Greene's walk rate has significantly decreased from 11% in 2024 to 6.5% this year. The Detroit Tigers have experienced a recent decline in performance, and Greene has struggled in July, hitting only .182. As a result, fantasy managers are increasingly questioning his value.
Riley Greene emerged as a solid fantasy option in 2024, hitting 24 home runs and drawing 64 walks over a career-high 137 games.
Greene may not end up more valuable in ESPN standard points leagues this season over last, even as he remains on pace for 40 home runs.
With a plummeting walk rate from 11% in 2024 to 6.5% this year, the big picture may well be getting hurt for Greene.
Fantasy managers are slowly dropping Greene, as his fantasy value falls short of matching the hype amid the Tigers' recent struggles.
