Please see our player page for Zach Neto to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.

Draft season is full of hopes and dreams and imagining best-case scenarios. Then the games start, and reality smacks you in the face. Alas. It’s too early to have any drastic changes to the rankings, as the sample size is just way too small. It doesn’t mean that feelings about particular players doesn’t change at all, […]

Eleven years ago, I wrote, “The Rockies made official what seemed inevitable for the last week, Trevor Story will be the starting shortstop in Colorado. As a visiting dignitary gets a key to the city, Story earned the shortstop job and was handed one of Tulo’s old hamstrings. ‘May your hamstrings stay forever young.’ That’s […]

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).

The first week of our rankings was about laying the foundation. The blue-chip anchors. The names that cost you real draft capital but give you category stability in return. Now we turn the page to week two of the Top 100 Hitters for 2026. This is where roster construction gets real. Power sources with batting average risk. Higher variability speed plays that can swing a standings column. Bankable veterans being drafted next to post-hype breakouts. The projections may look similar on the surface, but the paths to getting there couldn’t be more different. As always, this isn’t just a ranking of talent. It’s an evaluation of underlying skill and most importantly draft cost relative to production. We’re not chasing name value. We’re chasing leverage. The middle tiers win leagues. Miss here, and you spend all season patching holes. Nail this pocket of hitters, and you give yourself flexibility when the draft room starts reaching. Let’s keep building the board.

Good morning, afternoon or evening – depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the second-to-last entry for the 2026 Dynasty Baseball Rankings. We started at No. 400 and now I will be featuring the players ranked from No. 50 to 26. 

Here is a quick breakdown of the positions and ages of the players:

SP: 7
1B: 2 | 2B: 2 | 3B: 1 | SS: 6
LF: 2 | CF: 1 | OF: 2
IF/OF: 1
C: 1
Ages 20-24: 3
Ages 25-29: 16
Ages 30-34: 6

Looking at the information above, it is easy to see how I like to build my team early in the draft – load up on the top pitchers and get a top shortstop or two, or three.

Hello, all you brave, courageous, adventure-seekers, you’ve found the wrong website. This is fantasy baseball, not fantasy role playing, unless it’s fantasy roll-playing and this is Stratomatic, but that’s still not right. Still, fantasy baseball. Good, now that we got rid of all those people wearing fedoras and shopping from the Indiana Jones collection at […]

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to my weekly rankings. This week is the Top 50 Dynasty Shortstops for 2026.

When it comes to this position, it is full of young players with great upside or have already reached a high level of play while also featuring older players who can still be great players to have on your team.

Overall, if you need to boost your average or your on-base percentage, this is a group to hoard. Collectively, shortstops slashed .254/.317/.394, ranking first, second and fourth among all positions in those categories. The top end players will help you across the board. As you get beyond those players, you will still find shortstops who will help in at least one category, such has homers or steals or whatever you are looking for.
