2024 Win Now Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Rankings
Chris Clegg ranks his top 500 players for dynasty in leagues where you are built to win now.
My general AVG and OBP Dynasty rankings focus on a three-year window. But, I feel there is often a need to differentiate value depending on your contention window/draft approach. I decided to create both a win now and a rebuilding list because everyone values players differently depending on where your team is. Take older pitchers, for instance. They bring very little long-term value to the table and are hard to trade in a dynasty, but bring a ton of value to a win-now team.
A couple of important notes when looking at these rankings:
I omitted Wander Franco and Julio Urias completely. Not much else needs to be said.
With many dynasty leagues using saves+holds instead of saves, I value relievers that way for this list. In saves+holds, I would much rather wait on relievers with great ratios that will get holds since they are valued the same as saves. Therefore, you will find fewer relievers on my list than others. I try to tier the relievers based on skill level and the number of Sv/Hld they can provide.
These rankings are designed for teams in win-now mode.
For league type, I assume a 15-team, one-catcher league. In a shallower format, catchers become less valuable, and high-end players are more valuable because the replacement level is higher.
These rankings factor in weekly lineup leagues.
