Dynasty: too close to call. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Wetherholt #39 and Made #40, and the expert consensus agrees (#40 and #29). The community leans Made, FRV 74.8 to 67.2.
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.
JD on JJ Wetherholt (Oct 20, 2026): This might be one of the first rankings where I'm using the eye test rather than the player's actual statistics to make this call. On the surface a slash line of .242/.339/.365 really doesn't scream top 50 dynasty asset. He also really struggled in the second half of the season with an anemic .608 OPS. However, I think that JJ may have run out of steam playing his first full season in the big leagues and there are bigger things ahead of him entering his age-24 season. For one, an 89.7 EV from someone with this profile should have resulted in more power than 17 home runs. He also pretty significantly underperformed his xwOBA of .347 at a .318 wOBA and I think he is bound to improve on that in 2027. There's also something to be said about playing for a team that really isn't competitive in the second half of the year, and I think this may have plagued both Walker and Wetherholt a bit. As I'm writing this, I feel like I'm just coping with some flawed underlying metrics and wouldn't blame you for having JJ lower than this, but I'm a believer in the skill set and think that he will improve on his 2026 season next year.
