Happy February Everyone! Last week, we talked about first base and some general draft trends and tiers when taking a broader overall look at the position. Today, we’ll return to our deep-league roots to look further down the first base rankings in search of some gems — or at least escape hatch plans — once […]

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the second installment of the 2026 Dynasty Rankings.
Last week I knocked out players ranked from 400-301. This week I tackle another huge chunk of players: 300-201.
Being such a large group, here is a quick breakdown of the positions and ages of the players:
RP: 21 | SP: 19
1B: 6 | 2B: 4 | 3B: 8 | SS: 4 | IF: 8
RF: 3 | CF: 4 | LF: 4 | OF: 9
IF/OF: 6
Ages 20-24: 17
Ages 25-29: 52
Ages 30-34: 27
Ages 35+: 6
As you can see, there are many relief pitchers in this grouping, and trying to say who will break out and who will regress is always a guessing game. I believe these are the best of the middle relievers with a few closers sprinkled in as well.

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.

Damn, the Phils McCrackin’ homers vs. Miami yesterday, hitting eight! Starting up the dong charger, Kyle Schwarber (4-for-5) hit his 55th and 56th homer. Only 16 players have 55 homers. In the history of baseball. No one is talking about Schwarber and he’s having a legit NL MVP season. Everyone is in the shadow of […]

If you say “Daylen Lile fast,” I say, “He is.” If you pronounce “Daylen Lile” fast, I say, “Don’t do that, you sound kinda racist.” If you say “Daylen Lile is strong,” I say, “He is compared to me.” If you say, “How strong are you?” I’ll say, “Not very.” If you say “Daylen Lile […]

Connelly Early (5 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 11 Ks) was called up by the Red Sox. He sounds like a character in The Banshees of Inisherin who you can’t understand a word they’re saying, so you put on subtitles but the subtitles are phonetic and also impossible to understand so you just nod along […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Dodgers losing two games in three days where their starters didn’t give up hits through seven innings felt like a nightmare scenario dreamt up by Elias Sports Bureau, but it’s just Blake Treinen his best. Sadly, Treinen and Tanner Scott (1 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, the only hit the Dodgers allowed yesterday, and his […]

One of the most glorious things about MLB is when a GM will say something like, “(Player’s name) wasn’t quite ready yet to be promoted, and we didn’t want to be aggressive with him, and have him suffer a setback in his development. The organization believes he’s getting close to a promotion now, and he […]

I was gonna make this about just Blaze Alexander (1-for-4, 3rd homer), but I wrote Just Blaze and started listening to Jay Z songs for 45 minutes. Now if you can’t respect that, your whole perspective is whack, maybe you’ll love me when I fade to black. This was Blaze’s 2nd homer this week, and […]
