Dynasty First Base Rankings 2026

Updated October 5, 2026. As of today, the top three dynasty first basemen are Nick Kurtz (ATH), Ben Rice (NYY), and Sal Stewart (CIN). The top 66 first basemen for dynasty fantasy baseball, sliced directly from our hand-built staff dynasty board of 718 players, so every 1B rank below is consistent with where the player sits overall, not a separate list that drifts out of sync.

How We Rank First Basemen in Dynasty

First base skews older than any other position: deep in steady veteran bats but thin on youth. That makes the few young first basemen with real upside disproportionately valuable in dynasty, and it's why age sits next to every rank on this list. Players are valued on a multi-year window for 5x5 category leagues, with age, role security, and prospect upside weighed alongside current production. Prospects are ranked inline and flagged (P).
