Current performance is the most important factor in these rankings, with age and expected future performance just behind it. Hitters will always be safer and more valuable than pitchers, which is why there’s no arm currently in the top-20. Most name top-10 names are elite young bats who contribute across the board. The top players on the list should stick around for years to come. On the flip side, prospects may not produce any fantasy results for a couple of years but still make for valuable trade pieces as they climb prospect rankings. Justin Turner continues to defy Father Time but likely won’t be in the league in three years, hence the lower ranking. Players who are contributing today are valuable to competing teams but may not be of much use to rebuilders. In general, I like to view these dynasty rankings in three-to-four-year windows. Some leagues have additional outfield or infielder slots compared to standard lineups fantasy managers in those leagues may value certain positions higher, especially in a dreaded two-catcher format. Those leagues allow more non-closer bullpen arms, such as Yennier Cano and Justin Topa, to be relevant. For saves + holds leagues, top closers don’t have the same impact as in saves-only formats. In leagues that score OBP instead of AVG, players like Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and Kyle Schwarber have more value due to elite walk rates. These are standard rankings that can be adjusted based on different league settings.

There’s subjectivity as well, and it’s normal to have preferences. Plenty of factors go into these rankings, including age, recent performance, expected performance (both short and long-term), injury concerns, and plenty more.
