Chase DeLauter, in dynasty and redraft. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has DeLauter ahead, DeLauter #49 and Buxton #62, but the expert consensus has Buxton ahead (#84 to #85). The community rates them even, FRV 60.0 and 57.8. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has DeLauter ahead, #135 to #162.
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.
