Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Yamamoto #24 and Acuna #25, and the expert consensus agrees (#23 and #22). The community leans Acuna, FRV 87.3 to 76.2. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Yamamoto ahead, #13 to #26.
JD on Ronald Acuna Jr. (May 27, 2026): I'm not sure what to think of Acuna. We know that there's a 40-70 season potential in there but I think those days are past him with his knee injuries. The weirdest thing about that season was the insane batted ball profile and K-rate he was able to maintain that's seemingly anomalous at this point. I think there are people out here who will treat him like a top 10 player and if you happen to have him and there's someone out here willing to make a trade for him like he's a top 10 player, then I would be willing to move on from him. I think those days are behind him and can't bank on him in the future for anything other than solid contributions across the board and topping at maaaaaybe 30 home runs a year.
JD on Yoshinobu Yamamoto (May 27, 2026): I surprised myself here by ranking Yoshi SP4 as I've always been a bit skeptical of him and how he would hold up. In reality there's nothing in his profile that scares me off from putting all of my chips into him and building a staff around him in a dynasty league. He backs up his pretty great stuff with incredible command and I think he has a profile that is going to age very well in the scenario where his stuff takes a step back, I don't think he will be affected too much. Honestly as I'm thinking about it, he's more like a right-handed Cris Sanchez and it's about the highest praise I can levy on a pitcher right now.
