Dynasty: Theo Gillen. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Gillen ahead, Gillen #67 and Jenkins #76, but the expert consensus has Jenkins ahead (#73 to #98). The community disagrees, leaning Jenkins, FRV 66.0 to 50.9.
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.
JD on Walker Jenkins (Nov 2, 2026): For anyone that has watched Silicon Valley on HBO, do you remember the legendary clip where Russ Hanneman describes why you never want to start bringing in revenue as a startup? Clip here (https://youtu.be/BzAdXyPYKQo?si=Y2wLb6ifSkxbjvJ6) Here is the dynasty fantasy baseball version of this clip: "If you get called up to the big leagues people will ask how is he performing and it will never be enough...but if you're a highly touted prospect and you can say you're Pre-MLB you're a potential Pure Play. It's not about how well you perform in the big leagues it's about what you're worth as a prospect and who's worth the most? Prospects that haven't been called up yet. I kid you not, this is the exact thing I think every time a prospect comes up and doesn't immediately dominate at the big league level. All of the shine and excitement that a player had on him before he came to the big leagues seems to immediately go away as soon as they put up a slash line that doesn't look out of this world. Are people still enthusiastic? Sure there's still some hope, but managers will offer you a fraction of what they would before he got called up. All this to say, Walker Jenkins is still an elite prospect, if he didn't come up at the end of 2026 a lot of people would feel a lot differently about his prospects heading into 2027. I still see Astros-era Kyle Tucker with more of a motor in his profile, and am excited to see what he does in his first full big league season.
