Atlanta was able to steal Markakis away from the Orioles this offseason. He has recorded double-digit homers in nine straight seasons and will be a strong veteran presence in this lineup. He has also played in 155 games in eight of the last nine seasons. Markakis will be a strong fourth outfielder to go after in deeper formats.

ADP: 213.0

Woods was one of the top sleepers heading into the 2014 season. He shined throughout the season and ended with a 2.78 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. Unfortunately, he was forced to spend some time in the bullpen, which limited him to only 24 starts. Woods will be a strong SP5-SP6 to gamble on this spring, but he likely won't pitch much once the summer months come around.

ADP: 137.6

Teheran threw a whopping 221 innings last season. He also added a 2.89 ERA to go along with a 1.08 WHIP. Teheran looked like a workhorse for the Braves in 2014 and he finally had that break out fantasy season we have been waiting for. The young right-hander will be a safe bet as a top-25 pitcher in 2015.

ADP: 66.4

Kimbrel has racked up 40-plus saves in four straight seasons. He posted a similarly impressive 1.61 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. The fireballer is the best closer in all of baseball and deserves to be a top-50 pick in every format.

ADP: 49.2

Despite playing in all 162 games last season, Freeman took a small step back in 2014. He hit only 18 home runs, which was down from the 20-plus home runs he hit in the previous three seasons. Regardless, he still posted a respectable .288 batting average and .386 OBP. Freeman did enough to keep his spot among the top-10 first basemen.

ADP: 26.4
