Dynasty: Ronald Acuna Jr. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Acuna ahead, Acuna #37 and Paula #50, and the expert consensus agrees (#77 and #26). The community agrees too, FRV 87.3 to 67.0.
JD on Josue De Paula (Jul 10, 2026): De Paula is flying up everyone's prospect rankings pages across the board and I would feel silly if I didn't also get on the hype train. I will be very curious to see if he really leans into his power potential or if he never really blossoms and is a high-ish average doubles guy. To me that is what's going to separate him from being a top 100-ish asset to a top 30 asset. My main issue with De Paula is that he's blocking a bunch of other Dodgers outfield prospects (Hope, Tibbs) and there's not enough playing time to go around for all these young exciting guys. I guess it's true that the rich get richer huh?
JD on Ronald Acuna Jr. (Oct 20, 2026): No one has drawn more consternation from his lack of ranking in the top 25 than Ronald Acuna Jr., and I think I understand why: it's hard to separate out the incredibly high highs from the current player that he is now. I left this comment on a Reddit question regarding Acuna: "Acuna just missed the top 25, so they aren’t as far off as they seem (Greene vs. Acuna). But it’s a fair question, for me it comes down to where I think they are on the aging curve. Acuna (29 in 2027) might be start to lose a step with the injuries catching up with him. Bat speed is the biggest indicator for me, it’s dropped steadily since 2023 and it resulted in his lowest exit velo of his career last year. " This was before I really got into my top 50, and as I worked on my rankings I kept finding situations where I would rather have a younger player with his prime ahead of him. I think of these rankings as tier based, so if you want to argue Acuna over Walker I won't fault you, but I think guys like Greene, Julio, and Harris are in a league of their own, if for no reason other than the age difference. This is a different story in redraft leagues. If you have a team ready to go for it next year, I could see paying a top 25 price for Acuna because of the value he can provide in 2027 and 2028. But I think over a 7-year period, he is a safe bet to decline pretty severely towards the tail end of that window.
