1. Pete Crow-Armstrong , OF, Cubs: PCA has skyrocketed up the fantasy rankings and will now be the top pick in nearly every draft. After all, he is just 24 years old and may finish among the top five in homers, steals, RBI and runs.
2. Junior Caminero , 3B, Rays : This year, Caminero proved that he can hit for power in Tropicana Field. Back-to-back 40-homer seasons from a 23-year-old who is eligible at a scarce position makes him part of a deep group of No. 2 overall options.
3. Shohei Ohtani , UT, Dodgers : One of the best players in baseball history is now puzzling from a fantasy perspective. Ohtani no longer produces a lofty steals total, missed time this season due to injury and experienced a notable power decline. He's still excellent, but has likely peaked.
