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.

I’m not one to yearn for the long-gone, halcyon days, waning nostalgic for the old stuff. Faster games are nice, I like the pitch clock and I don’t miss watching pitchers hit. 40-man rosters though? Ah, the salad days. Back in the day (2019), rosters would turn from a soda can to a Foster’s. We’d […]

Welcome to a post trade deadline edition of Buy or Sell, where we dig into a handful of players getting a chance to prove their mettle in new lineups. After the beautiful chaos of the deadline, with its flurry of trades and call-ups, we’re seeing a fresh wave of hitters looking to make an impact. This week in our Hitter Profiles segment, we’re expanding the scope to include recently promoted prospects, players traded to new teams, and those stepping into everyday roles due to roster shakeups. With two months to go in the season, this is likely the last major shift for waiver wires across the league. Whether you’re saving your FAAB or weighing a trade, we’re here to help clarify your next move. Let’s dive into this quick-hitter edition of Buy or Sell.

Hello friends, and Happy Day-After-Trade-Deadline Day! It’s another good time to re-group before the home stretch, especially when you realize that we aren’t just a little over halfway though the season, we’re almost exactly two-thirds of the way through the season. If you’re trying to figure out how many counting stats you can add in […]

Howdy there, Razzballers! Before we get into the meat of this week’s analysis, this clip from the 1988 cinematic classic Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is required viewing in order to get the headline reference. Because, you know, every time you have to explain your references to 90-second moments of 40-year-old movies, you’re off to […]

1. OF Lazaro Montes | 20 | A+ | 2026

At 6’4” 256 lbs with a picturesque swing from the left side, Montes invites visual comps to Yordan Alvarez and embraces them, incorporating regular video study and modeling his own game after the Houston slugger’s. In 116 games across two levels, he slashed .288/.397/.484 with 21 home runs, five stolen bases and 105 RBIs. I don’t mention RBIs much around here, but that’s almost a ribbie per game, which you don’t see a lot these days in the minors, especially among guys who take their walks (14.4 percent for Montes in 2024). All in all, I’ve been among the high rankers on Montes throughout his pro career, ranking him first on this list last season. He’s still ranked after Cole Young and Colt Emerson by a lot of outlets despite both of those guys having down seasons in 2024. That’s understandable given they were young for their levels, and Young had to hit in tough park at Double-A Arkansas, but if Montes produces power at 20 years old in that setting, he should earn the prospect shine elsewhere that he’s been getting here.
