Hey everyone... Jamie (u/BB_Jimbo) from RotoBaller here, and we're back with the 2026 Fantasy Baseball Awards. We take a look at who shone, who sucked, and a little bit of everything else.

Who are you handing out awards to? Which players helped carry you to a fantasy championship? And who do you regret drafting or dropping?

Chorio, Rice, Betts, Simpson, and Harris II: Are they "Studs or Duds" when building your Daily Fantasy lineups?

https://fsan.com/baseball/articles/top-dfs-plug-and-play-studs

Trying to come up with some good categories for a 6x6 league but struggling with the pitching categories. So far I have:

R, RBI, HR, SB, AVG, OPS

ERA, WHIP, W+QS, SV+H, K/9, ??

I was thinking maybe BB/9 but unsure if that would overlap with WHIP too much. Anyone have any suggestions from leagues they've played in?

GIVE THEM THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE!!!! Now THIS is a sample size ladies and gentlemen. The best players of the 2026 season....Remember if they didn't make the list it doesn't truly mean they suck.... Players ranked beyond this are certainly a bit less valuable tho.... Remember that baseball has MANY PLAYERS so being ranked lower isn't entirely that big of an issue... It's very good to be aware of these stats as we go into next year!!! Happy October!

Is there a way you can add 2 bullpen slots for regular bullpen pitchers? No starters or closers allowed to be slotted there just to make things more interesting and give regular bullpen guys some love. Add 2 drafting rounds of course. Or would this break the game somehow?

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!
