Dynasty: too close to call. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Made #39 and Williams #41, and the expert consensus agrees (#60 and #40). The community leans Made, FRV 74.8 to 61.1.
JD on Gavin Williams (Oct 20, 2026): Every start for Gavin feels like a ride on Mr. Bones' Wild Ride. If you don't know that incredibly niche piece of internet culture, here you go. It's incredible how dominant he can look and how hard it can be for him to find the zone sometimes. In his Game 5 start against the White Sox in the Division Series, he goes out there and absolutely mows down guys for five innings and 12 Ks and then loses the strike zone and can't make it out of the sixth. The crazy part is it's not like his walk rate was obscenely high like it was in previous seasons at an 8.2% BB rate, but it's the fact that he can still get all these Ks while making so many uncompetitive pitches when his command disappears. I think Gavin is one of the highest-upside arms in baseball right now and if anyone outside of the top five was going to challenge for the #1 ranked SP next year I think he is the safest bet. However, it's a pretty high-variance play because he also is the most likely to regress with his command and post a mid-4 ERA with bad walk rates. His floor will always be somewhat stable because of the absurd Ks that he will give you, but be prepared to take the good with the bad.
JD on Jesus Made (Oct 20, 2026): WE DID IT! We made it to the first prospect on this dynasty list. I know a lot of you guys scrolled past 26 through 38 to figure out when the first prospect would hit, so congrats to everyone who made it this far. Now let's get serious about what Made actually will turn into as a big leaguer. I have a tool that comps prospects to players of similar skill sets and stat lines at similar points in their career and here are Made's closest comps after his 2026 season. Excluding Franco, you effectively have a 5 out of 9 hit rate of becoming a star at the big league level, which is about as good as you are going to get from a prospect IMO. As a physically mature 19-year old prospect with loud batted ball data and the ideal fantasy profile, he has earned himself the #1 prospect in baseball title. He is an incredible blend of a high-ceiling (although not the highest in the minors I would argue) and the highest floor that should make you comfortable taking him as the first prospect in any dynasty draft. The quickest path to the big leagues for Made would be to sign a long term deal in the offseason and give the Brewers no reason to continue to hold him down. I don't think Made is as far along developmentally though, as someone like Chourio was when he signed a long-term deal, so I don't know if it's in either party's best interest to be in the big leagues next year. But the numbers that could get thrown around to lock Made down would be insane. Look at Cooper Pratt, he got an 8-year, $50 million deal without stepping foot in the big leagues. Heck, even Luis Lara got a 7 year, $31mm deal and he barely registered on the hype meter for prospects. I think Chourio's 8 year / $82M contract is a pretty good comp, but that was signed three years ago at this point, which makes me think Made could push for $100M BEFORE STEPPING FOOT ABOVE AA.
