2021 Fantasy Outlook
Lyles made 28 starts for the Brewers and Pirates in 2019, but his production fell off with Texas in 2020. Across 12 appearances (nine starts) in 2020, the right-hander posted a 7.02 ERA with a 36:23 K:BB over 57.2 innings. Lyles will attempt to have a bounce-back season in 2021, and he's one of the Rangers' top starting options heading into the season. Although his fastball velocity remained fairly steady in 2020, he leaned on his changeup more, which could have contributed to his 13.5 K%, falling from a mark that was over 20% in each of the two prior seasons. He also allowed a 42.0% hard-hit rate that would have ranked worst among qualified pitchers if he had qualified. Lyles was only able to muster one win during the shortened season, and his 5.62 SIERA and 5.92 xFIP were the worst of his career. The 30-year-old will have to bounce back in a major way to regain more fantasy relevance in 2021. Read Past Outlooks

Lasts three innings in no-decision
Lyles allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings in Sunday's win against the Astros. He didn't factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Lyles lasted at least five frames in each of his last five starts, but he was removed fairly early in Sunday's season finale after giving up runs in the first and third innings. The right-hander finished the 2020 campaign with a 1-6 record while posting a 7.02 ERA and 36:23 K:BB over 57.2 innings.

The Brewers claimed Lyles off waivers in August of 2018 and he was an effective reliever the next two months. He departed for a starting role in Pittsburgh the following offseason, but the Brewers acquired him a second time at last year's trade deadline. At the time Lyles was viewed as rotation filler; but whether they realized it or not, the Brewers actually picked up one of their best starters down the stretch. All Lyles did in his second stint with the Brewers was post a 2.45 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 11 starts, doubling his slider usage over the final two months. While Lyles lacks a track record as a starter and his FIP with the Brewers was almost two runs higher than his ERA, he still landed a two-year deal with the Rangers. His fantasy stock has arguably never been higher thanks to his late-season results and a strikeout rate that topped a batter per inning for the first time in 2019.
