Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome to the first installment of the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2026. Over the next two weeks I will take two giant bites out of the countdown as I rank the players from 400-301 this week and then 300-201. After that will come bite sized looks of the final 200 players.

When it comes to these rankings, I know some of you will shake your head when it comes to certain players.

I have my biases and a system in how I evaluate fantasy players – and have done so for decades – and you have your biases. That is what makes rankings so interesting and why you will likely look at a host of rankings as a way to gauge how you view a certain player and how others view a certain player.

So here is a quick rundown about these rankings.

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to my weekly rankings. This week is the Top 50 Dynasty Shortstops for 2026.

When it comes to this position, it is full of young players with great upside or have already reached a high level of play while also featuring older players who can still be great players to have on your team.

Overall, if you need to boost your average or your on-base percentage, this is a group to hoard. Collectively, shortstops slashed .254/.317/.394, ranking first, second and fourth among all positions in those categories. The top end players will help you across the board. As you get beyond those players, you will still find shortstops who will help in at least one category, such has homers or steals or whatever you are looking for.

We’ve officially passed the halfway point of the baseball season. Whether you want to count games, celebrate the 4th of July, or use the All-Star Game as your barometer, the midpoint is here. It would be easy to assume that performances so far will be clear predictors of what’s to come but wise managers know better. There’s still plenty of work to do. While the rest of the country is arguing over ketchup vs. mustard, we’re focused on something far more important: figuring out whether that guy hitting .420 over the last two weeks is legit or just riding a heater. In this week’s hitter profiles, we’re diving into some names who are widely available in leagues and have been swinging hot bats lately. It’s time to break down what’s fueling these surges and, with all the overreaction we can muster, decide who’s worth buying and who’s better left on waivers. It’s been a while, but it’s time for another round of Buy or Sell in our hitter profiles.

How about Framber Suarez! I mean, how about Ranger Valdez! Ramber Suadez! Frager Valrez! How about them all? Can you not put your hands together and celebrate good pitching without them being aces? You’re such a try-hard with your, “Ooh, I need aces,” and I’m like, “These guys are good enough for you,” all preseason, […]
