Top 25 MLB Players by 2026 Fantasy Points Projections – AthX Exclusive Data March 24, 2026

Q: How often is this list updated?

The underlying player projections refresh when AthX runs batch projection updates (for example after material stat or roster changes). This article is a snapshot dated March 24, 2026; the live marketplace always shows current eligibility and prices.

Q: What happens if a player goes on IL?

The 60-day injured list takes players off the active marketplace, so they drop out of this ranking. Short injured-list stays (for example 10-day) do not by themselves change the stored season projection—that number updates when AthX re-runs projections from stats and roster context, not on every IL move. Live share prices can still move with games played and pace; use the player page and marketplace for current trade status.

Q: Are these fantasy points the same as AthX share price?

No. Projected fantasy points feed tiers and IPO-style starting levels. The price you see on a player updates with dynamic pricing: real games played, pace versus expectation, trading activity, and platform rules—not a 1:1 copy of this table.

Q: What do Buy, Sell, and Hold mean here?

Informal labels for this article only: how the projection compares to last season’s AthX points and how the story looks (breakout, steady, pullback). Not trading advice and not a guarantee of returns.

Q: Can I trade these players on mobile?

Yes. Download the AthX Android app from Google Play to trade player shares.

Q: Where do I sign up for the April 5 promo?

Create an account at getathx.com/signup before the April 5 deadline for up to $1000 in free share grants for qualifying users.

Q: Why is a well-known player missing from the top 25?

They may be on the 60-day injured list, suspended, in a pending IPO, or otherwise not offered on the AthX marketplace—even if a raw projection would rank them higher. This article lists marketplace-eligible players only.

Quick takeaway

Here are the top 25 MLB players on AthX by projected 2026 fantasy points among players who are active and tradeable on the marketplace (see below). We leave off 60-day IL, pending IPO, suspended, and other non-tradeable cases. These points use AthX’s own scoring rules—the same ones behind dynamic pricing—not a copy of ESPN or FanGraphs. Use this list to spot strong MLB shares to research, then open each player’s page and trade at live prices.

Why AthX rankings are different

Most online “fantasy” lists are built for season-long fantasy games with their own stat mixes. AthX is built for owning and trading player shares in one simple economy.

When we say 899 projected points, we mean 899 AthX fantasy points for the full 2026 season. That number comes from last season’s stats, age and role, team context, and longer-term injury history in the projection run—not from day-to-day or short IL moves. Share prices still update with games played, pace, and trading—see dynamic pricing.

Dividends: AthX can pay dividends when you hold shares and players perform. The dividends guide explains how that works. Stars with steady playing time and big ceilings often matter most for long-term holders.

Where this data comes from

These ranks use live AthX player data as of March 24, 2026. “Vs 2025” compares each player’s 2026 projection to their 2025 AthX fantasy total so you can see who we expect to step up or cool off. Signal is our short label (Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Caution)—a quick read, not a promise of profit.

Only active, tradeable players: Everyone here is on the 40-man roster, on the active roster, not on the 60-day injured list, and tradeable on the AthX marketplace (same rules as the marketplace—for example, we skip pending IPO players and anyone not offered for trading, including suspended players). Raw projection rank can differ; this table matches who you can actually buy and sell today.

Top five names (quick take)

1. Shohei Ohtani

899 projected points and +22% vs 2025 on AthX. We expect big two-way value and a full-time bat in a strong Dodgers lineup. Dividends: how it works. Player page: Shohei Ohtani.

2. Tarik Skubal

546 points and −6% vs last year—still a Hold. After a huge year, we trim the ceiling a bit so the forecast stays fair. He still looks like a true ace for Detroit. Profile: Tarik Skubal.

3. Jose Ramirez

545 points and +2% vs last year—stable star at third. He wins on playing time and steady stats, not hype. Profile: Jose Ramirez.

4. Garrett Crochet

545 vs 308 last year (+77%)—Strong Buy if he stays healthy as a starter. Big jumps can mean wild price swings—you trade your own view. Profile: Garrett Crochet.

5. Aaron Judge

541 points and −7% vs last year—still top five in our system. We already expect a small step back from a monster season. Hold is fair. Profile: Aaron Judge.

How AthX builds these numbers

Season projections are built from prior-year performance, aging and role, team factors, and history-driven injury context inside the projection engine. Short injured-list stays do not rewrite that stored projection on their own; updates happen when AthX re-runs the projection batch. Scoring rules are the same ones that drive fantasy points during the season; share prices layer on pace, volume, and market activity (dynamic pricing). Other sites rank for their games—AthX ranks for AthX trading.

FAQ

How often is this list updated?

Underlying projections refresh when AthX runs batch updates (for example after big stat or roster changes). This post is a snapshot: March 24, 2026. For live eligibility and prices, use the marketplace.

What happens if a player goes on IL?

60-day IL: they leave the active marketplace, so they are not on this tradeable list. Short IL (e.g. 10-day): that does not by itself change the stored season projection here—projections update on re-runs, not on every roster move. Prices can still move with games and pace. Always check the player page before you trade.

Are these fantasy points the same as AthX share price?

No. This table is projected fantasy points for the season. Share price follows dynamic pricing: performance pace, games, trading, and platform rules.

What do Buy, Sell, and Hold mean here?

Labels for this article only—momentum vs last year’s AthX total, not a buy/sell recommendation and not financial advice.

Can I trade these players on mobile?

Yes—download the AthX Android app.

Create your account before the deadline.

Why is a well-known player missing from the top 25?

They may be 60-day IL, suspended, stuck in a pending IPO, or otherwise not offered on the marketplace—even if a raw projection would rank them higher. This list matches who can trade today.
