Pete Alonso, in dynasty and redraft. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Alonso ahead, Alonso #40 and Skenes #43, but the expert consensus has Skenes ahead (#13 to #41). The community disagrees, leaning Skenes, FRV 86.7 to 69.5. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Alonso ahead, #9 to #92.
JD on Paul Skenes (Oct 20, 2026): What do you do with Paul Skenes? I really don't think I'm overreacting to his second-half performance, because he very clearly lost a tick or two on all of his stuff. Unfortunately, that made him much more hittable and he limped to a post-All-Star break stat line of 4.23/1.27 across 66 innings. His value seems to be carried more so by velocity that any other pitcher ranked this high, as every minor step back seems that much more hittable. If you remember back to his draft year, one of the main concerns was that his fastball shape was not elite and people were worried that would make him very hittable in the big leagues. When he was averaging 98+ MPH, those concerns seemed to go away, but as soon as that velo started to drop you saw the issues rear up again. What does Skenes look like at a 95 mph average fastball? What about 94? I'm worried about what kind of pitcher he becomes if this trend continues into 2027. I'm not sure if he's hiding an injury or he lost something mechanically over the course of the season that caused this regression in stuff. If it's just a mechanical issue, that makes me optimistic that he can bounce back to his dominate self in 2027. However, I think it is far more likely that something is breaking down and he will either need to get something fixed or his stuff will never be the same. The other option is that Livvy Dunne is slowly draining his life force away and within 2 years he will be a shell of himself as she makes her MLB debut for the Pirates. If I am being realistic, all 3 of these are equally likely options. If you are in a dynasty league holding Skenes, I'd love to know what you're thinking and what your plan is heading into 2027. Are you a believer that the stuff will return, or are you starting to hit the panic button?
JD on Pete Alonso (Oct 20, 2026): Old, steady, reliable Pete probably has a good 3 or 4 years left in him of elite fantasy production. Right-handed bat-first first 1B with his "build" typically don't age gracefully, but his all-around stellar performance this year makes me think there's more in the tank than I would have thought at the beginning of 2026. Alonso edges out other bat-first mashers like Schwarber and Judge for me because he's got a couple of years of youth on his side. Just don't run too fast to pick him up in dynasty drafts this offseason or you might end up looking like this:
