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.

The 2025 baseball season is still not quite finished, but for dynasty league players, the planning for the 2026 season is, or should be, already started.

It is never too soon to start formulating your plan and compiling your lists of the top players you should target in trades or upcoming drafts or auctions. If you want to win the league title next year, the first steps to do that start now.

This is where I step into the picture? In an effort to kickstart your offseason planning, welcome to the first positional breakdown of the 2026 Top Dynasty players. For the next 10 weeks I will break down who I think are the top 50 (or 100 for the starting pitchers) players at each position, with outfielders broken down into left, center and right fielders – not one big blob.

So get your pencils sharpened and pad of paper out (does anyone actually use a pencil and pad of paper these days) to take notes on the Top 50 Dynasty Relievers for 2026.

My first article back from the break did a great job with the pitchers, but a disappointing performance from the hitters. That’s naturally the more likely outcome when examining streamers because it’s much easier to predict the arms than the bats. What makes it even easier is that we have some of the worst lineups […]

I think many people look at the All-Star break as a time to recharge their batteries and get ready for the stretch run, but that’s not me. I actually hate when we take a week off because I don’t know what to do with myself. The fiend in me needs that baseball every day because […]

I hate to toot my own horn, but I crushed last week’s article. Grant Holmes, Edward Cabrera and Eric Lauer all threw gems, while the hitters were nothing to complain about. What’s truly remarkable is that this is the final week before the All-Star break. It feels like the season just started two months ago, […]

We had another solid showing last week, but Hayden Birdsong crapped on our car once again. That’s the second time he’s burned me this month, and we just have to let those guys go sometimes. I’m still happy with the results, but this will be a tough week. There weren’t many streamers who stood out […]
