You probably recognize me from my typical Streamers piece, but I’ve added this waiver wire article to my ledger. I can’t wait to dive into it this season because I have so much to say every week when it comes to fantasy baseball! We have a few days of baseball in the books, which means […]

*nudges the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell, and it doesn’t move* “Oh my God, the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell is dead!” Drowsily, the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell begins to wake on the couch, “I’m not dead, you idiot. I’m hungover. Could you please stop screaming?” “Woo hoo! The Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell is alive!” Rubbing temples, sitting up and asking, […]

Angels SS Zach Neto 39.9

Neto might be paying a price for being on the Angels, and that’s not totally unwarranted given that runs and RBI might be hard to find. Still, he hit 26 homers and stole 26 bases while batting .257 in his age 24 season on a team with little lineup protection. He’s going after a trio of first basemen in Matt Olson, Rafael Devers, and Bryce Harper, and I totally understand that impulse to take the safest bats you can find. I just prefer the five-category contributions of a guy like Neto, who’s going almost ten spots higher than this in the NFBC: 30.37 since March 1 (121 drafts).

1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2026

A 6’1” 187 pound switch-hitter with power and plate skills beyond his years, Made is the top prospect for our game in my opinion and a consensus top-five prospect for any purpose no matter who’s sorting the list. In 115 across three levels, Made slashed .285/.379/.413 with six home runs and 47 stolen bases. He was 2.4 years young for the level in Low-A, 4.2 years young for the level in High-A, and 5.7 years younger than the average age at the level during his five-game debut with Double-A Biloxi to close out the season. He was slow to get settled into full-season pro ball after skipping the complex league but was dominant in High-A, slashing .343/.415/.500 in 27 games, and I suspect we’ll see a lot of that moving forward.

After we went over the top 10 for 2026 fantasy baseball and the top 20 for 2026 fantasy baseball in our (my) 2026 fantasy baseball rankings, it’s time for the meat and potatoes rankings. Something to stew about! Hop in the pressure cooker, crank it up to “Intense” and let’s rock with the top 20 catchers for 2026 fantasy baseball. […]

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.

Click here to read Grey’s 2026 Fantasy Outlook for Basallo

In the article, Grey is frustrated by Baltimore’s service-time machinations. Those same concerns caused me to dread writing this list for a few days. I’m not sure why. I used to have little trouble cruising through even the organizations I didn’t love following, but I start feeling like a liar at some point when I’m telling you about a Rockies or Orioles prospect like he’s going to matter someday soon. Then again, they do sneak through sometimes, and Basallo could give you a Hunter Goodman sized boost in the power categories if Baltimore lets him learn on the job. He’s not going to catch everyday with Adley in town, but who knows how much longer Adley will be in town? His production and health are both in downward spirals, and Basallo slugged .589 with 23 home runs in just 76 Triple-A games in 2025. Dang. Managed 27 bombs in 107 games on the year if you combine his minor league dominance with his 31-game big league sample. He’s the rare case where I’ll look past the org setting and cross my fingers he’ll get enough playing time to impact redraft leagues.

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.
