Dynasty: Eli Willits. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Willits ahead, Willits #81 and Anderson #98, but the expert consensus has Anderson ahead (#55 to #134). The community rates them even, FRV 57.3 and 55.5.
JD on Eli Willits (Jun 22, 2026): I feel pretty silly being so low on him, but I'm also not willing to fully change my initial read on him. Guys can dominate the lower levels of the minors and see their skill set hit a wall at the upper levels despite I'm seeming like I can't miss prospect. I think I'll be the one to sit out the Eli Willits hype train but I can see myself being very wrong on it in a couple of years.
JD on Kade Anderson (Aug 20, 2026): Kade Anderson gets the call! He is universally considered a top 10 prospect and he is number 1 in a couple of different places. He has absolutely dominated AA this year with a 1.06 ERA over 93 innings and a 40% K rate. What should we expect from him for the rest of the year? I don't think he has any innings concerns so I would expect him to be able to make 6-8 starts through the end of the season and be a big contributor in the fantasy playoffs. One of those starts might come at Coors so we may want to bench him there but everywhere else he should be a bona fide, no question, plug-and-play SP. It's pretty incredible that he is able to do this without really premium velocity. It's a fast ball that really only touches 97 on the highest end but has incredible shape due to the carry he is able to generate. It's very similar to how Bryan Woo was able to succeed with an elite fastball due to his elite shape but Kade Anderson is doing it from the left side with just as good (if not better) command. I'm typically conservative when it comes to minor league pitching so I'm probably lower on him than most but a couple of really solid starts will catapult him higher in my rankings. He could easily be a top 50 dynasty asset heading into 2026 if he excels in his first taste of big league action. Saturday's start will be must watch TV!
