It’s Part 2 of my OF Rankings! Today, I look at guys I have ranked 31st through 60th. Again, I have gone Objective! I aggregated 4 projection systems and then converted them to auction values. I neglected to mention that these auction values are for a 15 team league with 5 starting OF’s and a 23 man active roster. It’s essentially based on the NFBC Main Event, even though I am using auction values to rank everyone. And I skew it a little towards power and away from steals. I then compare my values to Median Auction Values (MAV).
Oh, and also, I used 20 games played at OF last year to qualify. I realize some leagues use fewer, so let me just note where a few guys would rank here. Kyle Schwarber would be worth $32.30, which would rank him 8th, between Corbin Carroll and Brent Rooker. Yordan Alvarez ($28.90) would then slot in behind Rooker and Jackson Chourio and ahead of PCA. And finally, there’s Christian Yelich ($13.46) at 25th, behind Oneil Cruz and ahead of Andy Pages.
Anyways, onward to my 31st to 60th (or 34th to 63rd if we count the above 3).
Heliot Ramos
$10.40 vs. $6 MAV
Boring is beautiful sometimes! Ramos is still kind of young at 26, but he profiles with a very stable skill set. He had a mildly disappointing 21 homer, 6 steal, .256 AVG season last year. I saw mild because he almost exactly duplicated his homers and steals from 2024, but it was in 157 games as opposed to 120.
And he projects for almost exactly the same in 2026, along with 78 runs and 75 RBI’s. He will likely get every day starts in the middle or top of a Giants batting order that itself is kind of boring but decent.
I’m keying everything here to a deep 15 team format, and it works very well to roster guys with this kind of profile. Brandon Nimmo, Ian Happ, and Bryan Reynolds are three other examples. You don’t want to go crazy with too many of them, you need some upside surprises to win your league, and you’re not likely getting it from this group. But I do like to have one of this archetype and the numbers say Ramos is the best option.
Ramon Laureano
$8.02 vs $6
OK, here’s another guy in this Ramos bucket, just a more volatile version. Laureano is 31 now, and the 488 PA’s he put up in 2025 were a career high. And he was a phenomenal waiver wire add in deep leagues as he put up a 24 homer, 7 steal .281 season with 148 combined runs and RBI’s. He’s lingered as an interesting power speed guy back to 2019 in Oakland, but has turned into a journeyman amid injuries and a PED suspension.
He’s projected very similarly to the Ramos group above, but he’s in a better lineup than all but Happ, and he could really break out if he can stay on the field. I like him at price, $6 in auctions and 219 in ADP (15th round).
Mickey Moniak
$7.73 vs. $3
It took nearly a decade, but the top pick of the 2016 draft officially arrived in 2025! Moniak hit .270, with 24 homers and 9 steals, Most encouragingly, he lowered his scary awful K% to 23.9% from a career level in the low 30’s. He spiked career highs in 73.9% Contact%, 45.3% HardHit%, and 13.8% Barrel%. That’s a super encouraging combo.
So why does he remain so affordable? Those numbers come with 2 scary splits. He had just a 54 wRC+ vs. lefties vs. 119 vs. righties. And he had an 83 wRC+ on the road vs. 130 wRC+ at Coors Field. That all makes it impossible to use him as a set it and forget it OF. Everyone makes fun of the Rockies for blocking their prospects with useless vets. But Moniak is 28 now, he’s not likely to play for the hypothetical next great Rockies team. He’s going to see the pine vs. lefties. By all means roster Moniak in most formats, but just know you will need to replace him often.
Jakob Marsee
$5.68 vs. $12 MAV
Please allow myself to disagree with ……myself. A byproduct of my underpricing steals a bit is that I have to grab steals guys here and there to balance my team. Marsee is a guy I really like in that niche. Unfortunately, he’s spiking a bit. His ADP is about 145 (10th round), and his $12 MAV is the same as Cedanne Rafaella and Jose Altuve, and they both go a couple rounds earlier.
Marsee hit .292 in his 234 PA Marlins debut last year, with 5 homers and 14 steals. Now he’s not a .292 hitter, but his xBA was .275 so his metrics suggested he was still very good. The projections have him batting just .230, which is clearly why his projected value is so low. I’d definitely take the over. He’s not a big strikeout guy, he’s had a history in the high teens and low 20’s and was 20.5% with the Marlins. His small sample contact metrics were good, especially LA Sweet Spot% and Squared Up%.
He’s not going to wow you with power or RBI’s, but he likely hits 10-15 homers with a plus in Runs and 30+ steals. And I think he’s at least neutral in Avg. That’s a very nice combo.
Chandler Simpson
$2.87 vs. $6
I don’t disagree with myself on this one. Simpson has no power, will strong-side platoon at best, and at worst will spend half the season or more in the minors. He can’t field (15th percentile as per Statcast), which makes him hugely vulnerable to not playing. Yes, he could bat .290 and steal 80 bases in a full season, but I would only draft or auction buy him as a sub given the risks here. Marsee is a good all around player, Simpson just is not.
Jurrickson Profar
$5.35 vs. $10 MAV
Profar has nice plate skills with a career 10.3% BB% vs. 16% K%. But his pop is kind of minimal. He hit 14 homers in half a season last year, but it came on just 19 barrels (7.3% Barrel%) so don’t go pro-rate that onto a full season. He’s projected for about 17 bombs, which sounds right, to go along with about 8-10 steals and a .250 average. It’s really kind of a bland profile, arguably worse than the Happ’s and Reynold’s of the world, but at a higher cost. Yes, he will likely bat towards the top of a good Braves lineup, but he’s 32 now and just not that interesting or good imho.
Noelvi Marte
$0.16 vs. $12 MAV
I get the prospect pedigree here, and that he’s shown flashes of power-speed Fantasy excellence. But it’s really just brief flashes, he’s an incredibly mediocre actual baseball player so far. He got 360 PA’s in 2025, and it turned into a sea of Statcast blue.
He had 14 homers and 10 steals, so yeah, if you project that over a full season, it looks promising. But will he really play a full season? He had a 101 wRC+ last year with a bad glove at 3rd and a mediocre one in RF. The Reds have a mediocre corner OF group overall, but the Eugenio Suarez signing pushes Spencer Steer into the mix, so there’s a lot of bodies out there fighting for plate appearances. Marte is still only 24, but this team made the playoffs last year and is trying to win in a competitive division. He will not get endless run here.
