2024 Fantasy Outlook
Contreras fully stepped out of his older brother's shadow in 2023, and in fact led all catcher-eligible players in earned fantasy value. Traded from Atlanta to Milwaukee last winter, he logged 611 plate appearances in his first season with the Brewers -- a number padded by 29 starts at designated hitter, in addition to his 108 behind the dish. He hit .314 after the All-Star break to finish at .289 for the season, though Statcast puts his expected batting average at only .253. Contreras grounded into a whopping 23 double plays and still surpassed 160 runs-plus-RBI, and he will be in the middle of everything the Brewers do once again in 2024. While he may not see quite as many starts as the DH, his playing time is secure on account of his hitting and excellent blocking and framing metrics. There's already a lot to like and a jump in power is not out of the question. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have untapped production
Contreras has racked up 12 doubles in addition to three home runs over his past 100 plate appearances.
ANALYSIS
Contreras' .263/.342/.449 expected slash line for the season aligns with his actual production. However, the 25-year-old racking up 26 doubles alongside his 12 home runs indicates that the full extent of his slugging isn't conveying to fantasy production at the moment. Contreras is slashing .330/.362/.540 since the All-Star break.

Known primarily as "Willson's little brother" prior to last season, the younger Contreras is now making a name for himself. The two brothers met in the 2022 All-Star Game, both as starters, becoming the fifth set of siblings to play together in the Midsummer Classic. William was selected via player vote after he hit .260/.345/.533 with 11 homers in the first half. In the end, he reached an even 20 long balls despite making just 376 plate appearances for Atlanta. The batted-ball metrics were impressive, especially for a 24-year-old, though we should expect his BABIP to find a happy medium between his 2021 and 2022 marks (.265, .344). His perceived fantasy value will see a spike following a December trade to Milwaukee, as he not only gets a ballpark upgrade but should also see as much playing time as he can handle.
