Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Zach Neto. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Neto #29 and Tolle #31, and the expert consensus agrees (#46 and #42). The community leans Neto, FRV 76.0 to 59.4. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Neto ahead, #41 to #79.
JD on Payton Tolle (Oct 20, 2026): I was overall really impressed with Payton Tolle this year and I think he has the potential to stick around for a very long time. I made this comment in an earlier blurb a while ago but he kind of reminds me of Schlitter from the left side because he does a lot of his work with the fastball and doesn't need too much else. Between his four-seam, sinker, and cutter he effectively throws a variation of the fastball 88% of the time and both the four-seam and cutter have positive run values, with the sinker being just about break-even, just slightly negative. When you're able to do that from the left side, I really think that you have a long career ahead of you, especially with his 6'6" frame. He also arguably put up his best stats in September, meaning he finished stronger than a lot of pitchers with a full season under their belt would do as they start to hit a wall. The 7th overall SP might be a little aggressive, but his combination of youth and stuff makes him the most attractive starter left on the board after the first six are gone. I feel like you can rely on Tolle to put up great numbers as he enters his prime.
JD on Zach Neto (Oct 20, 2026): It's a shame that Zach Neto gets overlooked as one of the truly elite players in the game. For all the hate that the Angels get about their player development skills and rushing prospects, Neto seems to be one of the players who has thrived despite the accelerated timelines. He has put up three straight years of 20/20 seasons and been an overall net positive contributor in both runs and RBIs. This was really the first year where his batting average was a liability, but at .239 you can stomach it when the other four categories are great, if not elite. Sure, he's not putting up these numbers with amazing peripherals and he does strike out a lot, but you don't have to pay a top-25 price to get him and his contributions. In a lot of dynasty rankings he sits outside of the top 40, which is insane to me for a guy entering his age 26 season coming off of arguably his best season as a major leaguer. I would be taking the discount here if it's available in your league all day.
