Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Matt Olson. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Harper #68 and Olson #70, but the expert consensus has Olson ahead (#51 to #65). The community leans Harper, FRV 71.5 to 68.0. For 2027 redraft, the consensus has Olson ahead, #35 to #44, but Frank's 2027 projection has Harper ahead ($17.8 to $12.5).
JD on Bryce Harper (Nov 5, 2026): My previous take on Harper still stands, as he is one of the most consistent performers in baseball and continues to be: "I have a hot take, I think Bryce Harper is criminally underrated. He had all the expectations in the world levied on him as a sixteen-year-old in a sport where star players cannot make the same impact as they can in a sport like basketball. LeBron James lived up to the expectations because he was able to single-handedly carry his teams and win championships. Baseball is not a sport where you can be dependent on a single player's performance so long-term exceptional performance can be overlooked if it doesn't result in accolades every year. All this is to say that Bryce Harper has had an incredible career and really shows no signs of slowing down into his mid-30s. He still has a > .400 xwOBA and a wRC+ of 144. I have him at 60 here just because of how old he is but he is a pretty good player to have for the next three to five years because I don't see performance dropping off too much." This is a player who has not finished outside of the Top 100 IN HIS CAREER.
JD on Matt Olson (Nov 5, 2026): Olson is similar to Schwarber and Harper, as you know what you are going to get at this point of their careers and you can rely on the hot streaks to follow the cold spells. To Matt Olson's credit, he has done a good job of staving off any decline in his underlying metrics, actually increasing his bat speed by 0.9 mph this year and continuing to barrel balls at a 14% clip. The only confusing part of his game is that he contributed -1 run against four-seam fastballs while putting a positive run value on every other type of pitch (CB was -3 at 7.7% of pitches seen, but don't let the truth get in the way of a good narrative). He also saw them only 30.4% of the time, easily a career low for him. I wonder if he's taking an approach to focus only on non-fastballs and daring pitchers to beat him with a pitch that he has historically crushed in every other year. As pitchers are throwing fewer and fewer fastballs, I am surprised more hitters don't adopt a similar approach where they hunt the breaking ball and try to take advantage of the lack of fastballs in today's game. Back to Olson, he's as steady as they come. At 33 years old, he profiles as one of those graceful decliners and should be valuable for years to come.
