Another week is in the books, meaning it is time for the weekly dynasty rankings for 2026. This week is the Top 50 Dynasty First Basemen for 2026.
The good news when it comes to this position is it is by far the strongest when it comes to fantasy baseball. Among the eight positions, as a group first basemen ranked second in batting average and first in OBP, SLG, OPS and wRC+. If you are in need of power, this is the position to target as well as tap into to fill out a corner infield slot.
The bad new when it comes to this position is that a lot of the top players in this group are in their 30s. Here is the age breakdown of this position:
35+: 3
30-34: 14
25-29: 27
20-24: 6
Thirty-four percent of the players ranked are 30 or older. Of those 17 players, seven are in the top 20. There are some good, young first basemen, but they are still behind a host of veterans.
From a dynasty standpoint, if you have one of the young guns, be extremely happy. Otherwise you may want to use this position to fill a hole on the short term and and hope the youngsters you target or currently have actually develop.
So let’s get on with the Top 50 Dynasty First Basemen for 2026.
