Third Base 2026 Fantasy Rankings

Changelog

  • 12/16/2025 – First Release

Ranking Methodology

  • ADP is based on 30-day rolling NFBC Draft Champions Leagues.
  • $ Values are based on standard 5×5 12-team league using the FanGraphs Depth Charts and these Auction Calculator settings. They default to a player’s most valuable position, so if the first base list includes a catcher, it will show that player’s value at catcher.
  • ADP and $ Values are updated as of the last update date on this post.
  • 5-game eligibility was used for these lists to cast the widest net.

Hello, and welcome to the first 2026 3B rankings of the offseason! Third base has been a weird position for a while, one that fits a bunch of different types of players; there’s no one archetype that works above all the others. That makes ranking them a little tough, but hey, at least Nos. 1 and 2 were layups (that’s a basketball term). For now, we’ve just got write-ups on the top quartet of third basemen, with plenty more to follow.

One quick note regarding the bottom tier, those in Free Agent Limbo: I don’t actually think those are the least-valuable fantasy third basemen. What I do think is that their value is dependent on where they sign. Will they sign as a regular? A platoon bat? Will they even maintain 3B eligibility? That’s all up in the air for the free agents not named Bregman or Suárez.

See you next week with more write-ups and maybe some shuffling!

Hot Ones at the Hot Corner

The best of the best.
Hot Ones at the Hot Corner
Rank Name Team Pos Change ADP $
1 José Ramírez CLE 3B 5 $32
2 Junior Caminero TBR 3B 14 $34
3 Jazz Chisholm Jr. NYY 2B/3B 22 $19
4 Maikel Garcia KCR 2B/3B/SS/OF 90 $15

There’s little that Ramírez is yet to accomplish in MLB, though winning MVP might forever be his white whale. (He’d also love to go 40/40 at least once, I’m sure.) His counting stats at the plate took a little bit of a step back as he had even more wear and tear than usual in 2025, but he’s showing no long-term signs of slowing down and continues to command the zone while not striking out as well as anyone.

At the onset of the 2025 season it looked like Caminero would be missing some valuable plate appearances as he was frequently replaced for defense, but he improved enough at third to actually play full games with the Rays leading as the season went on. The massive homer power is Caminero’s calling card and considering his precocious youth combined with a lack of big swing-and-miss, the sky is the limit. He was weirdly average away from Steinbrenner Field but I don’t have much concern there since his BABIP was a ridiculously low .197 on the road.

Enjoy the 3B eligibility while you can! Jazz won’t be sniffing the hot corner any time soon after couping DJ LeMahieu out of a roster spot so he could move back to second base, and he responded with a career year despite missing time with an oblique strain. Coming off back-to-back almost-fully-healthy seasons in which he proved he’s got star output to go with his star-level skills, here’s hoping we can finally see what 150 games of Jazz looks like.

Are Garcia’s gains at the plate legit? The Royals sure think so, rewarding his breakout with a five-year, $57.5 million extension. He’s got almost three years of service time but is still just 25 years old, so it’s entirely possible we haven’t seen the best of him yet. He’s more of a “jack of all trades, master of none” than a guy who will give you insane production in a particular category, but there’s .300/20/40 potential in there.

Position Player Playing Time Changes: September 10, 2025

Sam Navarro – Imagn Images

Hello, and welcome to one of the last Position Player Playing Time Changes roundups of the year! We’ve got plenty to go over this week, as usual, but before we dive in it’s important to note how the methodology makes for some large swings this late in the season.

Because we’re looking at remaining playing time and there’s so little time left in the season, even the most minor of injuries — like an IL stint for Alec Bohm that’s expected to be the minimum ten days — can lead to massive swings in playing time because the Phillies only have 18 games left. For example, if this was Opening Day and Bohm was expected to miss only ten games, his projected playing time would only go down six percent. But now even a relatively minor injury means his playing time goes down 50 percentage points. Basically, there’s an inverse relationship between games remaining in the season and the significance of an individual injury, which is why our list keeps getting longer with each week!

With that explanation out of the way, let’s get to it:
