Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Drew Rasmussen. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Williams #45 and Rasmussen #46, and the expert consensus agrees (#93 and #70). The community leans Williams, FRV 61.1 to 57.3. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Rasmussen ahead, #55 to #125, but the rest-of-season engine has Williams ahead ($14 to $13).
JD on Drew Rasmussen (Jun 11, 2026): What a start by Rasmussen against the Red Sox, 13ks over 7 innings with less than 100 pitches. I feel like it's a true sign of a player's talent when you see them with huge K numbers with a relatively low pitch count. The pitch count issue is the thing that's holding me back with Rasmussen right now. It feels like the Rays don't want to let him off of the leash (for better or worse) and that is what's keeping him from putting up top-tier caliber pitching numbers. Also, he is already almost 31 years old so I don't know how long the good times roll. For now, I would treat him like Brandon Woodruff circa 2017 through 2019 without the innings and counting stats upside.
JD on Gavin Williams (Aug 3, 2026): Glad my Gavin Williams take lasted all of 1 start, because he just absolutely dominated the Diamondback with 5 perfect innings to start the game off before mother nature humbled Gavin in the 6th inning. Despite the torrential downpour in the 6th derailing what otherwise looked like his most impressive performance of the season, I think Gavin has proven that his stuff is elite enough to overcome some of the command warts. I moved him up to SP10 and struggle to find a reason the pitchers behind him would be more valuable. The wheels might come off or at least get wobbly at some point, but you can be confident investing in him as a low end #1 and if you can get him for the price of a solid #2 SP I would jump all over it.
