Dynasty: Aaron Judge. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Judge ahead, Judge #36 and DeLauter #51, and the expert consensus agrees (#18 and #85). The community agrees too, FRV 81.3 to 57.8.
JD on Aaron Judge (Jun 8, 2026): You always have to wonder when the shine wears off with Judge, he's getting old and is so physical that any lingering issue can become a significant problem if not handled thoroughly. This rib injury is not the biggest deal in the world, but it could always be a cascading issue. Moving him from top 10 to number 25 while we see where things stand.
JD on Chase DeLauter (Sep 11, 2026): The only the thing standing in the way of this ranking being not aggressive enough for Chase DeLauter is his injury concerns. Just in the last month alone he has had a hamstring issue and a wrist issue pop up that caused him to miss multiple games (but not go on the IL). Both seem like anomalies but this was the concern with him coming up through the minors as he never had a full season due to various injuries. DeLauter is one of the handful of guys that I think realistically can hit 300 in a given year in a very sustainable way while not sacrificing his power potential. A full season for him looks like a .300 / 25HR / 15 SB in a premium lineup position, which is easily a top 25 player. I imagine I will be even higher on him heading into 2027 when I do my offseason deep dive. Buy wherever you can.
