Dynasty: Josue De Paula. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Paula ahead, Paula #50 and Gillen #67, and the expert consensus agrees (#75 and #98). The community agrees too, FRV 67.0 to 50.9.
JD on Josue De Paula (Oct 21, 2026): I know some people are hyping up the Paula to be as high as their No. 1 overall prospect, and I want to pump the brakes just a tiny bit while still being reasonably optimistic. I think he is a very high-end prospect and anyone who is currently rostering should be thrilled with how much he has developed in 2026 alone. However I still think what I said earlier this year is true: that there is a chance the game power doesn't catch up to the raw power and he has trouble lifting the ball. I can't help but see Jason Heyward when I look at De Paula, I remember how hyped everyone was on Jason Hayward when he first came up. I also remember how he eventually lost the ability to lift the ball and his fantasy value went with it. That's really the only flaw and hesitation I see with this game because otherwise he has some of the best power in the minors, with incredible plate discipline and tools that should all add up to be a premium player for years to come. Even if the launch angle issues manifest, he's still going to be a very valuable player for a long time and I don't think I'm insulting him by ranking him as my fourth overall prospect. Congratulations if you found him early and held on to him, he should be a treat for many years to come.
JD on Theo Gillen (Nov 5, 2026): Oh, do the Rays have another top prospect to salivate over? I can't help but think that Theo Gillen should have been getting at-bats in the playoffs for the Rays. The combination of DeLuca, Vilade, Williamson, and Walls feeling like automatic outs at the end of their lineup was ridiculous. Theo Gillen really took another step forward this year, hitting 22 home runs after hitting only 5 across his first two minor league seasons. That was really the one piece missing and the piece that I wasn't sure would ever develop when he was first touted as a top prospect. When you pair that with a .968 OPS and a double-digit walk rate, he looks like he will be a mainstay in the big leagues for years to come. I feel like Carson Benge is a pretty good comp to Gillen. I think if he gets a full season of at-bats next year, he could put together a similar standout rookie campaign. That would catapult him into (or close to) the top 25 dynasty rankings at the end of 2027 heading into 2028.
