Dynasty: Tarik Skubal. Redraft: too close to call. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Skubal ahead, Skubal #23 and Harris #27, and the expert consensus agrees (#39 and #14). The community agrees too, FRV 83.5 to 65.6. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has them close, Harris #20 and Skubal #21.
JD on Michael Harris II (Oct 20, 2026): I had all but written off Michael Harris after his 2025 season. He looked like a guy who the league had adjusted to and was going to continue to deteriorate until he was fantasy irrelevant. 2026 turned that narrative around, and now I see a guy who is a true four-category contributor entering the prime of his career (excluding stolen bases). His profile reminds me a lot of Jackson Merrill (free swinger, low walk rate) with a little more batting average and fewer steals. I think the stolen bases are gone for good, as his sprint speed has effectively gone in a straight line down and now is roughly league average. The path to Harris become a 30 HR bat seems inevitable, and I am fully confident that Harris will return steady, unspectacular value for at least the next couple of years. If you are looking to compete in 2027, he is one of the highest floor options in the MLB and great to build a team around.
JD on Tarik Skubal (Oct 2, 2026): I love writing these blurbs about hitters, because I feel like you can judge dynasty value based on potential performance without having to make an injury caveat in every paragraph. When it comes to pitchers, it's just so hard for me to separate out the injury risk from the performance and I have to have to balance the weights of these risks in my head when ranking pitchers. I think this is why I'm lower on pitchers on an absolute basis compared to a lot of other ranking sources, so keep that in mind when comparing lists. Skubal is very clearly a high-end arm that really only entered his peak in 2024 (from a usage perspective, he was dominate in 2023 in a limited sample size), which means he hasn't incurred as much mileage as you'd expect for someone his age. However, he's been ridden hard since 2024, accruing the fourth-most innings of anyone in baseball, only behind Cris Sanchez, Logan Webb, and Kevin Gausman. He's also managed to do that without throwing over 200 innings, which would have been unheard of 10 years ago. There's so much to like about his profile, but one of my favorite parts about him is that he just doesn't walk guys, averaging only a 4.4% walk rate over the last four years while striking out over 30% of the hitters faced in every year. That's led to WHIPs under 1.00 since 2023, and should result in one of the largest contracts ever signed by a pitcher this offseason (if not the largest). I guess if a major league team is willing to throw $200+ million at him, you should be willing to ride him in your dynasty league and throw caution to the wind with injuries.
