Dynasty: Riley Greene. Redraft: Jordan Walker. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Greene ahead, Greene #25 and Walker #37, but the expert consensus has Walker ahead (#28 to #42). The community agrees too, FRV 70.9 to 54.2. For 2027 redraft, the consensus has Walker ahead, #26 to #75, and Frank's 2027 projection agrees ($23.5 and $20.3).
JD on Jordan Walker (Oct 20, 2026): Jordan Walker's season stats really overshadowed a concerning trend that we saw post All Star Break and especially September, the batted ball quality really regressed overall to look more in line with his pre-2026 breakout. Here are his Pre-ASB / Post-ASB splits: xwOBA: .373 / .292 Avg EV: 94.2 / 90.4 Barrel %: 14.1% / 11.9% I'm willing to chalk part of this up to my unscientific data point of the post-Home Run Derby championship blues that sometimes effect winners, but I do believe there is a concern trend her that you don't notice if you are looking at the season numbers. At the end of the day he's a 24-year-old with a lot of experience under his belt and the ability to ride the ups and downs of a full season. I still think if you can get him in the third round of a dynasty startup, then you're probably looking at a pretty good asset, but I would stay away from getting him in the second round due to some of the warts in his profile that I don't think he has fully resolved yet.
JD on Riley Greene (Oct 2, 2026): There are a couple of notable guys that you may notice are missing from the top 25 and I'll get to them in the next article. But for me, Riley Greene is more attractive than them because he's actually performing and seemingly has been doing it under the radar. Nothing about his profile screams elite (89.9 Avg EV, 26.5% K Rate) but when you put it all together he puts up elite performance (.369 xwOBA). He has arguably done this for three straight years now, but I think this year was his strongest showing despite the step back in home runs from 2025 (36 HR vs. 21 HR in 2026). He also took a major step forward against lefties this year with an OPS of .806 in 156 at-bats versus .620 in 2025. This is a major single for me that everything is coming together as he enters his prime. Don't be surprised when Riley Greene puts together a career year next year. I would not be shocked if he combined his power from 2025 and his batted ball profile from 2026 to put together a . 900 OPS season with 35+ home runs. My only nitpick is that he should be able to steal more than a couple of bases a year with his above-average sprint speed; but I'd rather he focus on being healthy and performing with his bat than chipping in a couple of extra stolen bases.
