Welcome back, friends, to another week of my dynasty positional rankings. This week the Top 50 Dynasty Catchers for 2026 is on the menu after looking at relief pitches and starting pitchers the last two weeks.

When it comes to catchers, let’s just be brutally honest – many of them are not good at helping your offense. As a whole, the catching position ranked last in the major leagues in average, second to last in OBP and SLG and third to last in OPS this past season.

The Top 10 catchers are all players you would love to have on your team. The next 10 you can live with. After that things get dicey.

In leagues that start two catchers, it is always a fight to find a good No. 2 catcher and it is sometimes worth overpaying for that second solid starter as it will give you an advantage over many of the other teams. Otherwise, might as well go for a young catcher with upside as your No. 2 instead of a piddling old catcher who will certainly drag your stats down.

As the All-Star break arrives and the fantasy season hits its midway point, or was that a few weeks back at 81 games? Regardless, it’s tempting to fall in love with the players that drove first half success. Whether via an unexpected batting average, a flurry of home runs, or an unexpected speed spike it can make any manager feel like they’ve struck gold. But not all that glitter is built to last. Now is the time for sharp managers to take inventory not just of what’s working, but if it has staying power. For every first half hero helping to keep your squad afloat, there might be regression lurking beneath the surface for concern. These are the players that represent an opportunity to deal from a position of strength before the second half winds blow in a different direction. This week our hitter profiles focus on some sell-high candidates where winning managers should be looking to deal from a position of strength.
