Oneil Cruz, in dynasty and redraft. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Cruz ahead, Cruz #18 and Walker #27, but the expert consensus has Walker ahead (#28 to #43). The community agrees too, FRV 67.3 to 52.1. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Cruz ahead, #26 to #50, but the rest-of-season engine has Walker ahead ($9 to $3).
JD on Jordan Walker (Jul 14, 2026): I thought for sure we were going to see Jordan Walker put on a display of hard ground balls up the left side during the Home Run Derby but he really surprised me and took the crown. I don't know how much longer I can be a hater without looking foolish. At this point I might be fully bought into the Jordan Walker story. My apologies to all of the Jordan Walker fans I have let down this season.
JD on Oneil Cruz (Aug 18, 2026): Oneil Cruz with a CRUISE MISSILE in his first game back from the IL at 107.7 off the bat, going 422 feet. I think I am higher on Cruz than anyone in the industry, but I will continue to bang the drum that he is a special talent that few players can match from an upside perspective. He could be a league winner the rest of the year (or he could be an absolute dud) but in dynasty leagues I would be doing whatever I can to grab him for his age 28 season in 2027. BUY BUY BUY!
