ESPN Fantasy Projection: Desmond opted out of the 2020 season for personal reasons, and that he was showing signs of decline as a 33-year-old in 2019 will cause many to doubt his bounce-back ability entering 2021. They should: His speed metrics showed a sharp decline in that season, and he has had a history of all-too-high ground ball rates that cap the advantages that Coors Field can provide a hitter. Desmond should find a good chunk of at-bats on a rebuilding Rockies team looking to fill its games, but he's a batting average risk who isn't as likely to fill your stolen base category to the extent he once did. Consider him merely NL-only material, and mostly in rotisserie formats at that.
