Dynasty: Chase Burns. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Burns ahead, Burns #28 and Benge #32, and the expert consensus agrees (#76 and #24). The community agrees too, FRV 69.4 to 62.3.
JD on Carson Benge (Oct 20, 2026): Benge really snuck up on me in the second half of the year and he looks like he's going to be a DUDE. He really flourished after the All-Star break, slashing .311/.375/.475 and crushing 9 HR across 242 at-bats. It seemed like he only got more comfortable as the season went on, and I'm sure he was as bummed as anyone to see the season end as he was picking up steam. There's a little bit of concern for some batting average regression as his BABIP was pretty high at .341, but I think he is finding his power swing and any batting average dip in 2027 should coincide with a power increase. Look for an opportunity to buy low on him at the end April next year, as he started off the season cold in 2026 and sophomore slump whispers might open the buy window. I think Benge is going to be a fixture in the Mets lineup for a long time to come, and this is a shame: the team around him doesn't inspire a lot of hope for the next couple of years.
JD on Chase Burns (Oct 20, 2026): It was a shame to see Chase Burns be such a league winner right up until the fantasy playoffs started for most people, at which point he got shut down and lost all of his value. When you're in a dynasty league and young guys click like this, it's a shame that you are punished in the playoffs when players on non-contending teams don't finish the end of the season. Chase Burns himself is very elite and you should be happy with him leading your rotation if you roster him. It's also really impressive that he has managed to do this with effectively two pitches, since he features his changeup only 5% of the time (with a -9 run value). He's got the classic heat maps that you'd want to see from a pitcher with his velocity: fastballs at the top of the zone and sliders down and away to righties. The slider alone accumulated +18 runs and contributed to a -1.05 reduction in ERA vs. the league average, making it one of the best in baseball. With a slider that good he can afford to be a two-pitch pitcher for a long time. I would like to see him develop a third pitch eventually to take him to the next level but he's so good that he doesn't have to. Let's just hope next season he doesn't get shut down in September and he gives everyone 30+ elite starts.
