Fantasy Baseball Player Rankings: SP
2019 Season, Updated Mar 28
These 2019 fantasy baseball rankings are based on Last Player Picked dollar value calculations using Draft Buddy projections,
(which are Steamer projections applying our own playing time adjustments).
League settings are 15-team NFBC 5x5 Roto format, starting 14 hitters and 9 pitchers. Expect ranking updates through Spring Training to Opening Day due to projection and
playing time changes.
