2021 Consensus Top-40 Fantasy Baseball Relief Pitcher Rankings

February 2, 2021 by Fantrax Staff Leave a Comment

FantraxHQ is the official content sponsor of Fantrax.com, the hottest Fantasy Site of 2018 and 2019.
Dynasty Relief Pitcher 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 are the rankings, and we’re continuing our staff consensus rankings for 2021 with our fantasy baseball relief pitcher rankings.

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

Formulating relief pitcher rankings can be a pain in the butt. That’s especially true in 2021 as there are several of those dreaded “closer by committees” which always makes outlooks a bit murky while limiting the fantasy value of all involved in it. But we did our best and hope that these rankings can help give you an edge in your fantasy drafts.


What?! Your league is not planning on using Fantrax? Inconceivable! Check out everything Fantrax has to offer and I’m sure you’ll come around to our way of thinking.
