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.

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.

Mariners play in an awful stadium. Catchers don’t hit for power–[suddenly something blocks the sun] Is that an eclipse? My “Is There An Eclipse Happening Right Now Or Am I Standing In A Shadow” app says there’s no eclipse but I’m also on a treeless street. Nowhere a house. There’s no shadows here! What on […]

Didja know Ronny Mauricio‘s full name was Ronny Bobby Ricky And Mauricio? If you know, you know, which is pretty self-explanatory. Hey, Biggie, if you don’t know, you don’t know. Biggie Smalls, Mr. Exposition! If Notorious B.I.G. lived, I’m sure he would’ve had an incredibly long and illustrious career, but also, I don’t know, I’m […]

Happy Opening Week! I couldn’t be happier to finally be writing about actual games that are happening after a long offseason of drafting. Well, I could be happier if Jared Jones and Shane McClanahan weren’t injured, but gotta keep moving forward, no? As we settle into the beginning of the season, this week we’ll check […]
