2021 Consensus Top-40 Fantasy Baseball First Base Rankings

That’s right, it’s finally Fantasy Baseball draft season! While some of us degenerates were drafting back in October and November, January is the first month where fantasy baseball drafts really kick into high gear. We here at FantraxHQ have been pumping out a ton of great content all offseason long and now are diving head-first into our 2021 Fantrax Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit. A big part of any draft kit is rankings, and we’re continuing our staff consensus rankings for 2021 with our fantasy baseball first base rankings.

Below you’ll find the consensus rankings that nine of our MLB writers were involved in. Those being Eric Cross, Chris Clegg, Mick Ciallela, Justin Johnson, Jorge Montanez, David Mendelson, Micah Henry, Nic Civale, and Dave Swan. Each writer provided anywhere from 40-60 first basemen so we could create our consensus top-40.

While the first base position isn’t quite as good as it was 5-10 years ago, there’s still plenty of talent and value at this position from two potential first-round picks to plenty of intriguing late-round options. Hopefully, these rankings can help guide you in the right direction for all of your drafts. Enjoy!
