AI Power Rankings

The Kookaburra Polks are the most complete team in this league, and it's not particularly close. They lead the entire league in both 2025 actual production (9,020 FPTS) and 2026 projections (9,292 FPTS), which means they're not just hot — they're sustainably elite. The 3-3 record is a mirage; this team has been unlucky in matchups, not deficient in talent. Their roster is a masterclass in construction.

The batting lineup is absurd. Cal Raleigh (838 FPTS) is the best catcher in the league by a country mile, providing elite power from a premium position. Brent Rooker, Josh Naylor, Brice Turang, Willy Adames, and C.J. Abrams form a core that covers power, speed, and OBP. There's no weak link in the everyday lineup, and the bench features Blake Snell (519 projected), Sean Manaea (426 projected), and Quinn Priester (447 projected) waiting to contribute.

The pitching staff is headlined by Paul Skenes (831 FPTS in 2025, 796 projected), who is a fantasy cheat code. The bullpen is stacked with high-value arms like Cade Smith, Abner Uribe, Emilio Pagan, and Luke Weaver — all of whom rack up holds and saves in this scoring system. Chase Burns and Sandy Alcantara provide upside. The only knock is some dead weight on the bench (Rocker, Graterol), but with 33 keepers, this team is built for dynasty dominance.

Aaron Judge is doing Aaron Judge things — 1,012 FPTS in 2025 with 898 projected for 2026. In a scoring system that awards 8 points per HR and 2.2 per RBI, Judge is essentially a one-man wrecking crew. But this team is far more than just Judge. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (626/700), Fernando Tatis Jr. (646/677), and Junior Caminero (638/621) form a murderer's row that rivals any lineup in the league.

The pitching rotation is quietly devastating. Bryan Woo (752 FPTS in 2025, 716 projected) has been a revelation, and pairing him with Logan Webb (700/629) and Chris Sale (504/614) gives this team three aces. The bench is loaded with upside arms like Edward Cabrera, Nick Lodolo, and Logan Henderson. The 9,154 projected FPTS for 2026 is second only to the Kookaburra Polks.

The weaknesses are real but manageable. Brandon Woodruff's health is a perpetual concern, and the bottom of the batting order (Jeremiah Jackson, Liam Hicks) is thin. But with Bobby Witt Jr.-caliber talent... wait, that's the wrong team. The depth here — Steven Kwan, Jazz Chisholm, Maikel Garcia — means injuries won't sink this ship. The 4-2 record and 2,700 points (most in the league) are well-earned.

Take Maholm Tonight sits atop the standings with 2,853.2 points — the most in the league — and a 4-2 record. This team's strength is its remarkable balance. The batting lineup doesn't have a single MVP-caliber superstar, but it has no holes. Yandy Diaz (585 FPTS), Jarren Duran (532), Jose Altuve (490), Luis Arraez (490), and Zachary Neto (449) all produce consistently. In a points league, floor matters, and this lineup has one of the highest floors around.

The pitching staff is where this team gets dangerous. Jacob deGrom (648 FPTS) is pitching like vintage deGrom, and Kevin Gausman (593), Trevor Rogers (514), and Sonny Gray (501) give this team four legitimate aces. The 4.8x INN multiplier and 2.0x SO multiplier make workhorse starters incredibly valuable, and this rotation eats innings. The bench is absurdly deep too — Christian Yelich (554 FPTS), Robert Suarez (486), and David Peterson (400) are sitting in reserve.

The concern is the four injured players, including Altuve and Neto, two key lineup pieces. If both miss extended time, the lineup gets thinner. But the bench depth — Yelich, Luis Garcia, Jameson Taillon — provides a cushion most teams can only dream of. This is the most well-constructed roster in the league.

Don't let the 3-3 record fool you — James Estrada's squad is loaded. The 8,809 projected FPTS for 2026 ranks third in the league, and the 7,534 actual FPTS in 2025 confirms this isn't just projection fluff. This team has Tarik Skubal (905 FPTS) and Kyle Schwarber (826 FPTS), two of the top-5 individual producers in the entire league. That alone makes them dangerous every single week.

The lineup construction is aggressive and high-upside. Corbin Carroll (709), Byron Buxton (628), and Schwarber form a terrifying top of the order. Nick Kurtz (592 FPTS, sitting on the bench!) projects for 691 in 2026 — he's a future cornerstone at $10. The prospect pipeline is deep: Sal Stewart (409 projected), Moises Ballesteros (454 projected), and Kurtz give this team a dynasty runway that's second to none.

The pitching is elite at the top — Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (727 FPTS) are a 1-2 punch that can win any week. Andres Munoz (489) provides elite closer value. The middle of the rotation is where things get dicey: MacKenzie Gore is injured, Dustin May is a health risk, and Zac Gallen (374 FPTS) has underperformed. Three injured players and some volatile arms keep this from the top tier, but the ceiling is the highest in the league.

The John Rocker All-Stars have the look of a perennial contender — 4-2 record, 8,968 projected FPTS (second-highest in the league), and a roster stuffed with household names. Julio Rodriguez (650 FPTS), Vinnie Pasquantino (602), Jesus Luzardo (599), and Nico Hoerner (550) form a productive core. The 7,994 actual FPTS ranks third in the league, confirming this team is genuinely good, not just projecting well.

The star power is undeniable. Gunnar Henderson (516/584), Ronald Acuna Jr. (420/562), Riley Greene (517/514), and James Wood (514/473) give this team four outfielders who could all finish as top-20 fantasy players. The pitching staff features Logan Gilbert (436/597), Tyler Glasnow (307/484), and Mason Miller (446/520) — a mix of workhorses and elite closers that plays perfectly in this scoring system.

The red flags are significant, though. 34 keepers at $500 salary means this team is at the salary cap with zero flexibility. Three currently injured players, plus Josh Hader, Justin Steele, Grayson Rodriguez, Tommy Edman, and Shane McClanahan all dealing with various health concerns on the bench. That's a staggering amount of injury risk concentrated in one roster. If the stars stay healthy, this is a top-3 team. If the injury bug bites, the lack of salary flexibility means there's no escape hatch.

Honey Nut Chourio has one of the most star-studded lineups in the league, headlined by Bobby Witt Jr. (702 FPTS in 2025, 743 projected for 2026) — the single best position player in fantasy outside of Judge and Ohtani. Add Kyle Tucker (619/685), Pete Alonso (661/515), Manny Machado (572/614), and Jackson Merrill (377/614), and this lineup can go toe-to-toe with anyone.

The pitching is where this team separates from the elite tier. Cristopher Sanchez (820 FPTS) has been a revelation, and Joe Ryan (576/558) and George Kirby (354/551) provide solid rotation anchors. But beyond those three, the active pitching staff thins out quickly. Will Warren (324/154) is trending the wrong direction, and several RP slots are filled with low-value arms (Bryan Baker, Foster Griffin, Robert Garcia, Bradgley Rodriguez).

The bench is where the future lives. Bryan Abreu (422/526), Merrill Kelly (572/490), Tanner Bibee (413/427), Andrew Abbott (530/472), and Trey Yesavage (41/445) represent a pitching pipeline that could transform this staff. The 3-3 record is fair — this team is good but not great right now. If the bench arms get activated and William Contreras returns from injury, the ceiling jumps significantly.

The Hamate's Tale has quietly assembled a very solid roster that earns its 4-2 record. Jose Ramirez (786 FPTS) is an absolute monster in this scoring format — his combination of HR power (8x), RBI production (2.2x), and stolen bases (2x) makes him one of the most valuable players in the league. Geraldo Perdomo has been a stunning breakout at 748 FPTS, though regression to his 545 projection seems inevitable. Ketel Marte (580/698) is the quiet engine that keeps this lineup humming.

The pitching staff is solid if unspectacular. Freddy Peralta (688 FPTS) has been excellent, and the bench contains some real gems: Matthew Boyd (598/675) is a top-tier SP sitting in reserve, Ranger Suarez (518/483) is another ace-level arm on the bench, and Jhoan Duran (473/436) provides elite reliever value. The active pitching staff, however, features too many low-value arms — Rico Garcia, Bryce Elder, Mike Soroka, and Paul Sewald are all replacement-level or worse.

The disconnect between the bench quality and the active roster is this team's defining feature. Spencer Steer (373/450), Boyd, Suarez, Mitch Keller (366/466), and Duran are all sitting on the bench while weaker players start. If this manager optimizes the active roster, this team jumps into the top 5. As currently constructed, there's too much dead weight in the starting lineup to rank higher.

On paper, Diamonds Aren't For Devers has a championship-caliber roster. Shohei Ohtani (942 FPTS) is the second-most valuable player in fantasy, and he's paired with Max Fried (746), Garrett Crochet (895), Rafael Devers (619), and Eugenio Suarez (592). The 8,722 projected FPTS for 2026 ranks fourth in the league. So why is this team ranked 8th? Because it's falling apart in real-time.

Seven injured players. Let that sink in. Gleyber Torres, Luke Keaschall, Willson Contreras, Garrett Mitchell, Lourdes Gurriel, Reid Detmers, and Kris Bubic are all hurt, and Caleb Durbin on the bench is also injured. That's a staggering amount of attrition. The 1,699.2 total points — dead last among 4-2 teams — tells you this team has been winning ugly despite massive roster holes. The 4-2 record is a mirage built on favorable matchups, not sustainable production.

When healthy, this is a top-3 team. Ohtani + Crochet + Fried is arguably the best three-player core in the league. Roman Anthony (246/482) and Daulton Varsho (294/531) provide exciting upside. But the injury concentration is terrifying, and the active roster is held together with duct tape. Javier Baez (249 FPTS) starting at SS is a sign of desperation, not depth.

The Deville Dandies have a 4-2 record and some genuinely impressive names — Bryce Harper (522/545), Freddie Freeman (576/542), Oneil Cruz (314/545), and Gavin Williams (543/503). But the 5,607 actual FPTS and 7,286 projected FPTS both rank in the bottom half of the league, and the 2,493 total points are modest for a winning team. This roster has star power but lacks the depth to sustain it.

The lineup has some real concerns. Austin Riley is injured and only produced 249 FPTS when healthy. Mike Trout (364 FPTS) is a shell of his former self and carries enormous injury risk. Luis Robert ($26 keeper, 274 FPTS) has been a massive disappointment. Cole Young (101 FPTS) is a prospect playing a starting role he's not ready for. That's a lot of underperformance and risk in one lineup.

The pitching staff is the bigger problem. Nolan McLean (215/547) is the highest-upside arm but hasn't produced yet. Spencer Arrighetti (26 FPTS) has been essentially invisible. Beyond Williams, the rotation is filled with question marks — Steven Matz, Emerson Hancock, Randy Vasquez — none of whom inspire confidence. The bench has intriguing names (Jack Flaherty, Andrew Painter, Dylan Crews), but they're bench players for a reason. This team needs its prospects to hit to compete long-term.

Rebels Cum is the definition of a middle-of-the-pack team — solid everywhere, elite nowhere. The 3-3 record and 2,369.2 points are perfectly mediocre. Francisco Lindor (697 FPTS) is a legitimate superstar, but he's currently injured. Tyler Soderstrom (516/490), Kyle Stowers (453/537), Andy Pages (490/373), and Ramon Laureano (468/480) form a productive but unspectacular outfield corps.

The pitching staff is where this team has quiet strength. Brady Singer (440/470), Casey Mize (400/466), Jeffrey Springs (395/402), and Nick Martinez (334/413) are all solid mid-rotation arms. The bench adds Brayan Bello (454/413), Jeff Hoffman (373/368), and Hunter Gaddis (377/424). It's a deep pitching staff, even if it lacks a true ace. In a scoring system that rewards innings (4.8x) and quality starts (6x), having six or seven reliable starters is valuable.

The problem is the lineup's ceiling. Without Lindor, this team lacks a true difference-maker. Brooks Lee (273/278) and Kevin McGonigle (144 projected) are below-average starters. Colt Keith (300/363) hasn't broken out yet. The bench has intriguing pieces — Jacob Wilson (443/520) and Bryce Eldridge (417 projected) — but they need to be in the active lineup to matter. This is a team that could sneak into the playoffs but won't scare anyone once there.

THE Bathing Beauties' 4-2 record is the most suspicious in the league. With 2,506.4 total points and 6,659 actual FPTS, this team is winning despite being outproduced by several .500 teams. The roster has some genuine stars — Elly De La Cruz (550/550), Yordan Alvarez (153/650, but injured), and Shea Langeliers (510/439) — but the overall construction is thinner than the record suggests.

The batting lineup has a strange mix of high-end talent and replacement-level filler. Luke Raley (72 FPTS) and Dominic Canzone (206 FPTS) are not fantasy-relevant starters. Xander Bogaerts (357/447) is fine but not exciting. The team is essentially banking on De La Cruz, Alvarez (when healthy), Randy Arozarena (504), and Ben Rice (453/456) to carry the load. That's a lot of pressure on four players.

The pitching staff is concerning. Robbie Ray (540/439) has been the ace, but his projection drops significantly. Michael King (203/478) has underperformed badly. Eury Perez (248/430) is still developing. The bench has Cole Ragans (170/531) — a potential ace who's been terrible in 2025 — and Mark Vientos (245/389). This team needs Alvarez healthy and Ragans/King to pitch to their projections to justify the record. Right now, it's a house of cards.

The name is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. At 1-5 with 1,800.6 points, The South Side Fuck Ups are in freefall — but the underlying roster is better than the record suggests. The 7,653 actual FPTS and 8,358 projected FPTS both rank in the upper half of the league, which means this team has been spectacularly unlucky in matchups or has had its production concentrated in losing weeks.

The lineup has legitimate firepower. Cody Bellinger (662/592) has been excellent, Nathan Eovaldi (618/628) is pitching like an ace, Framber Valdez (558/557) is a workhorse, and Taylor Ward (538/478) has been a pleasant surprise. Seiya Suzuki (522/481) and Trevor Story (521/420) add solid production. The problem is four injured players — Isaac Paredes, Lawrence Butler, Seth Lugo, and Eovaldi — gutting the active roster.

The pitching staff is actually quite good when healthy. Eovaldi, Valdez, Devin Williams (334/371), Ryan Helsley (208/290), and JoJo Romero (358/416) provide a nice mix of starters and relievers. Bubba Chandler (108/337) is a high-upside prospect. The bench has Pete Fairbanks, Heliot Ramos, and Kazuma Okamoto (411 projected). This team isn't as bad as 1-5 — but the injuries and some questionable keeper investments (Seiya Suzuki at $51, Bellinger at $45) limit the ceiling.

At 0-6, Guys I Have Coached is the only winless team in the league — and while the roster isn't as hopeless as the record suggests, there are real structural problems that explain the losing. The 6,848 actual FPTS and 8,248 projected FPTS indicate a team with talent that hasn't translated to wins. The 1,767.8 total points is second-worst in the league.

The lineup has some genuine stars. Trea Turner (581/612) and Matt Olson (597/536) are elite producers. Alex Bregman (425/581) projects for a big 2026. Wyatt Langford (409/493) is a rising star. But the supporting cast is thin: Carter Jensen (87 FPTS) at catcher is a black hole, Jac Caglianone (50 FPTS) is a prospect playing a starting role he hasn't earned, and Matt Wallner (255/364) is a below-average starter. Ozzie Albies ($41 keeper, injured) is a terrible value even when healthy.

The pitching staff has upside but lacks consistency. Shota Imanaga (416/564) and Luis Castillo (533/542) are legitimate aces. Drew Rasmussen (505/439) has been solid. But Jacob Misiorowski (180/435) hasn't arrived yet, and the bullpen (Seranthony Dominguez, Brad Lord, Gabe Speier, Grant Taylor) is a wasteland. The bench has Bo Bichette (571/486) and Chris Bassitt (398/453) — two players who should probably be starting. At $498 salary with 22 keepers, the financial flexibility is limited. This team needs better roster management and some luck to climb out of the cellar.

Clark's No Pants Party is in full rebuild mode, and the numbers confirm it. The 4,200 actual FPTS is dead last in the league by a massive margin — nearly 2,100 points behind the next-worst team. The 5,236 projected FPTS for 2026 is also last by over 2,000 points. The 1-5 record and 1,879.6 total points are the natural result of a roster that simply cannot compete right now.

The batting lineup has some interesting young pieces — Pete Crow-Armstrong (609/513) has been the team's best player, and Jo Adell (456/416) is having a nice season. Drake Baldwin (428/380) provides decent catcher production. But JJ Wetherholt has zero 2025 stats, Chase DeLauter has zero 2025 stats, Jordan Walker (102 FPTS) has been terrible, and Colson Montgomery (281/474) is a prospect on the worst team in baseball. The lineup is a collection of lottery tickets, not a competitive roster.

The pitching staff is even worse. Ryne Nelson (482/494) is the only reliable arm. Jose Soriano (360/398) is injured. Beyond that, it's Mick Abel (23 FPTS), Rhett Lowder (no 2025 stats), Graham Ashcraft (239/116), and a bunch of nobodies. The bench has some future value — Michael Busch (571/541), Noah Cameron (431/540), Shane Smith (354/492), and Noelvi Marte (270/431) — but this team is at least a year away from competing. The $252 salary and 18 keepers suggest the owner knows this is a rebuild. Smart long-term play, but brutal right now.
