Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Wyatt Langford. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Jenkins #76 and Langford #77, but the expert consensus has Langford ahead (#36 to #73). The community leans Langford, FRV 76.3 to 66.0. For 2027 redraft, the consensus has Langford ahead, #105 to #251, and Frank's 2027 projection agrees (-$8.6 and $13.7).
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.
JD on Wyatt Langford (Jul 23, 2026): I may have been too harsh on Wyatt Langford and rumors of his demise may have been exaggerated. I originally had him ranked outside of the top 100 because I didn't see him really contributing any meaningful value as a dynasty player since he came up in 2024. He's shown it in bits and pieces but he hasn't really put together a full season that jumped off the page and said, "Wow this guy is a top 50 asset." I think it might be coming together for him. I have watched him over the last couple of weeks and things seem to really be turning the corner. His xwOBA is over .400 for July and his hard hit % has jumped to over 41%. I think there is an interesting buy low opportunity here because his Statcast page doesn't necessarily reflect the improvement yet because his April was so poor this year. If he's still available as a buy low in your league, I would be making the move now and trying to ride a strong second half to Wyatt Langford being a top 50 asset heading into 2027.
