Welcome to my 2026 July and NBA Offseason dynasty rankings! With a new crop of rookies, free agency having dealt its hand (mostly!), and a full season sample to reflect on, there is a litany of changes to my dynasty rankings. I’ve been hard at work the last few weeks curating these rankings, ensuring they balance and reflect value for teams of various dynasty states.
42 rookies made the cut inside my Top-350. Obviously the top four (Cameron Boozer, AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson) are a notch above the rest of the rookies, but I am fairly high on the lottery range of this year’s class. Quite a number of rookies made their way into my top-100 and even approached the top-50, indicating my faith that there will be plenty of impactful dynasty players in this year’s draft class. In addition to the rookies, four additional players made their way into my top-350.

Once again, tiers are a loose guideline. Players within a tier are somewhat close together in my eyes, with factors such as fantasy team state (contending or rebuilding), stat preference, upside, and aging playing a role in stratifying players. Don’t sweat over the actual ranking too much — the general range in which players fall is much more important than the specific ranking. In this version, I’ve also included rank changes to log trends.
It’s important to keep in mind that with so many new players added to the dynasty pool, there will be a greater volume of players that dropped in rankings rather than rising. While that is partly reflective of the individual’s failure to increase their dynasty stock, it is also just a function of intriguing rookies with a wide band of variance entering into the dynasty rankings.
I’ve noted the 46 players that have fallen out of the Top-350 below, with their previous rank in parentheses. I have also included the four non-rookies that were previously not in my Top-350. Note that for formatting reasons, the new players and rookies entering the Top-350 have their ranks as “0” in the full rankings.

Mark C’s FREE Dynasty Category Rankings – July 2026
Rank Player Rank Change Age Team Notes 1 Victor Wembanyama 0 22.5 San Antonio I have a feeling Wembanyma is going to take the NBA Finals loss personally. I'm ready for him to return with some greater offensive oomph and cement himself as fantasy's best player. 2 Nikola Jokic 0 31.4 Denver Jokic is getting up there in age, but he was clearly the best player in fantasy last season. With huge strengths in points, boards, and assists, he is a fantastic base to build your team around. 3 Luka Doncic 1 27.4 LA Lakers I think Doncic is set to have a career season. The Lakers will be his team, leading to massive counting stats and triples on respectable efficiency. 4 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander -1 28.0 Oklahoma City SGA remains the most efficient scoring option in the game. Efficient points with a smattering of other useful stats is what you get when you roster the reigning MVP. 5 Cade Cunningham 0 24.8 Detroit Cunningham makes the jump into the next tier. He proved he can handle the insane usage, and the Pistons have only made his job easier in the offseason. I'm penciling some modest efficiency gains. Don't slouch on his defensive stats either! 6 Cooper Flagg 0 19.6 Dallas I'm slightly concerned that the Mavs team-building is not ideal for Flagg. That said, he is well on his way to being a 9-cat monster. Flagg's scoring game is already ahead of where I thought it would be. 7 Tyrese Maxey 0 25.7 Philadelphia It's hard to see how Maxey doesn't continue carrying a huge load on the Sixers. The only concern may be if the minutes go back down after leading the league per night. I'm not overly worried about Jaylen Brown entering the fold. 8 Anthony Edwards 0 25.0 Minnesota With the acquistion of LaMelo Ball, Edwards's passing probably won't improve that much. On the other hand, maybe we see him up his scoring to a new level. 9 Jalen Johnson 0 24.6 Atlanta The Hawks have firmly cemented Johnson as the face of the franchise. I'll reiterate that Johnson isn't actuallly a great on-ball option at this level of usage, but it doesn't matter if he will maintain that level. 10 Scottie Barnes 0 25.0 Toronto Barnes' fantasy game level-upped last season with nearly 3.0 "stocks" and improved efficiency. The scoring is a step below others although his 9-cat game cannot be denied. 11 Jalen Williams 2 25.3 Oklahoma City Williams had a lost season, and I understand the worries over his jumper. I'm willing to look past it all, especially considering OKC has a glaring hole for any additional on-ball punch. 12 Cameron Boozer #N/A 19.0 Memphis Say hello to our first rookie! Boozer will be a 9-cat beast sooner rather than later. He takes little off the table and is the easy #1 pick in all dynasty formats. He will be the focal point for the Grizzlies right away. 13 Alperen Sengun 1 24.0 Houston Sengun isn't helped by a poor offensive structure. The improvements around him may not come this year, yet I would be holding faith that improvements can come. 14 Tyrese Haliburton 2 26.4 Indiana I'm hopeful Haliburton can pick up where he left off coming from his Achilles injuries. Returns from other players have been promising. 15 Jayson Tatum 2 28.4 Boston Tatum had a little rust upon returning from his Achilles injury. The fact he played as many minutes as he did gives me belief we'll see him close to his best when the new season tips off. 16 Giannis Antetokounmpo -4 31.6 Miami Giannis will be required to carry this Miami team night in, night out. The nagging injuries and FT% woes are fair concerns. 17 Chet Holmgren -6 24.2 Oklahoma City Can Holmgren find another gear in his offensive game? The uncertainity to that question forced me to drop Holmgren a tier. 18 Evan Mobley 1 25.1 Cleveland Mobley's offensive drive waxes and wanes too much for my liking. Maybe I'm selling hiim short, but I need to see some serious offensive growth before assuming it will happen. 19 Donovan Mitchell -1 29.9 Cleveland One wonders how long Mitchell can keep this scoring load, but in the meantime he's one of the best scoring guards in the league. Treat him as such as he completes his fantasy prime. 20 LaMelo Ball -5 24.9 Minnesota Ball should excel working off Anthony Edwards and rim-running bigs. If Ball can maintain his health, I believe he's a bargain in dynasty leagues and is viewed less highly than I rank him. The ranking drop more reflects some slight overestimation from myself last season. 21 Jamal Murray 1 29.4 Denver We finally saw a full season of Murray at his best, and it was fantastic. The question is if he can keep this level up for a few more seasons. 22 AJ Dybantsa #N/A 19.5 Washington Dybantsa won't produce the most well-rounded stat set, but his impact scoring lands him here. If he engages a bit more on defense, he will easily justify this spot. Wizards lack this sort of scoring creation, so Dybantsa slots right in. 23 Amen Thompson -3 23.5 Houston While I think Thompson has a higher ceiling than this, the current Rockets structure isn't the one to let him cook. 24 Deni Avdija -1 25.5 Portland Avdija remains in position to be the offensive focal point for the Blazers. He is a monster for counting stats with some room for growth in his shooting. There will be some clash with Ja Morant in town.
