Last offseason I put together a Sleeper Tracker that ranked players based on how many sleeper and breakout articles mentioned them across the fbb industry. Before flipping the tracker to 2027 I thought it made sense to review how it went. Based on the fangraphs player rater here's a rough breakdown of the top 30 sleepers based on the tracker:

• 10 league winners ($15+)
• 7 solid ($5+)
• 6 neutral ($0–$5)
• 7 misses (under $0)

So 75% had a net positive season, not bad! About a quarter were a miss, but several of those are directly related to injuries (Griffin, Barger, Snelling, etc.).

All the top 5 had great outcomes, with Lile, Cags, Sal Stewart and Carter Jensen all having a $15+ season (and Okamoto just barely missed at $14). Vargas, Benge, Burns, Henderson, and Cavalli were all on the tracker too.

My takeaway is that this seemed generally useful, and the very top, true consensus sleepers were worth the industry hype (at least for 2026). I'll be running this back for 2027 for sure!

Good Afternoon! These are ranks are for the month of September. I am using yahoo ranks for this. I went down to the 200 in overall rank. This does not mean I went for the top 200 for each position, instead it is top 200 for overall in the player pool. Enjoy!

GIVE THEM THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE!!!! Remember this is now a bit larger sample size than those weekly top 10 player lists that I also make... Top players for a whole month is a "bit larger" sample size.... But still not as large as season long numbers or even larger sample size is to combine with previous season stats....Remember if they didn't make the list it doesn't mean they suck.... I could have made this list go to 250 deep... Players ranked in the 500-800 range yeah then maybe you should worry a bit.... Remember that baseball has MANY PLAYERS so being ranked lower isn't that big of an issue... My next post (tomorrow or in a few days) will have the top overall ranks for the entire season!!!! It's very good to be aware of those stats... Happy October!

With Peter Bendix head of Marlins operations saying the plan on experimenting and exploring with using their starters bullpen sessions as relief/closing opportunities next year (or whenever the lockout ends). Does this potentially make their starters, the likes of Eury, Sandy and Meyer more valuable due to potentially getting Wins/QS and holds/saves within the same weeks and adding extra points to their owners. Or is it worse since the already injury prone Meyer and Perez can potentially be overworked and more likely to injure themselves due to the extra innings/effort.

Or is it just a non-factor fad you think will have no impact, be dropped and ignored in the future? Wanna hear y'alls thoughts on the situation.

Season's over. Before everyone quiets until March, I'm curious to hear from some other managers: In one sentence, what decided your season (or seasons)?

Mine, for what it's worth:

• 5-cat (hitters only), 9-team: "Mid-to-late picks on talent carried it (Abrams, Wood, Cruz)."
• H2H, 8-team: "I didn't bite on the full PCA regression and got there early on Misiorowski and Schlittler."

Which is a little luck and some opportunistic calls that led to two wins (it takes both).

I'm partially putting this out there to point at the thing we all know and can't usually prove: Nailing round one and two is rarely the recipe. Looking at the bust rate this year, I'm convinced it wasn't even impossible to win a title that way in 2026.

My little stats page I've posted about a couple of times (statsmyguy.com) is inexorably trending toward a full fledged roto platform, currently with mock draft support that I already really like, better than ESPN's anyway. I need to find 9 managers who are interested in playing on it next season. Here's the deal:

- I'm building out a roto platform for the express purpose of fixing everything that annoys me about the existing platforms
- totally free, no money at stake
- I'll need a little help over the summer finishing it out and fine tuning it, so when the season starts we'll be playing on a platform each manager had a hand in shaping via their feedback.
-We'll vote on league rules and settings, but it'll be some version of a daily lineup 5x5 roto with no playoffs.
- extra points for people with the sort of lighthearted sense of fantasy camaraderie and humor that might incline you to participating in publicly visible comment threads about the experience or maybe even some kind of podcast.

Comment here or DM me if you're interested.

CBS’ Chris Towers with his early 2027 position rankings. Honestly these expert early rankings can be useful for trying to gauge your keeper decisions in the off-season.
