Power ranking of the Top 20 fastest risers in the updated Top 700 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Rankings

Here is the official power ranking of the fastest-rising dynasty targets from this group.

We are focusing strictly on the rate of ascent—who is gaining the most helium right now and forcing dynasty managers to aggressively re-evaluate their price tag.

Each time we update our fantasy baseball Top 700 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Rankings, we keep track of the players who are rising the quickest to let fantasy baseball owners know who is gaining momentum. This list comes out in tandem with the updated Top 700 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Rankings list.

Here’s a quick look at the Top Three:

1. Pete Crow-Armstrong, OF, Chicago Cubs

Current Level: MLB
The Profile: The power-speed breakout has arrived—and it’s historic. Crow-Armstrong’s 2026 season featured a .280/.372/.570 line, 45 home runs, 107 RBI and 41 stolen bases, making him just the seventh player to join MLB’s 40-40 club. That five-category production makes the jump from No. 42 to No. 1 an easy case to make: he’s no longer just a high-upside dynasty pick, but a cornerstone.

2. Elly De La Cruz, SS, Cincinnati Reds

Current Level: MLB
The Profile: De La Cruz remains one of the most electric dynasty assets in baseball, pairing premium speed with growing power. He reached the 30-30 club for the first time in 2026, finishing with a .283 average, 30 homers, 79 RBI and 30 steals. Holding at No. 2 reflects the rare ceiling of a shortstop who can change a fantasy matchup with both his bat and his legs.

3. Jackson Chourio, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

Current Level: MLB
The Profile: At just 22, Chourio has already established a compelling blend of hit, power and speed. In 127 games during 2026, he hit .291 with 25 home runs, 75 RBI and 23 stolen bases, posting an .838 OPS. His climb from No. 26 to No. 3 reflects the appeal of that well-rounded production—and the dynasty upside of a young outfielder who’s already delivering across categories.
