Konnor Griffin leads Eric Cross’ September 2025 dynasty rankings, with a crop of risers like Rainiel Rodriguez, Alfredo Duno, and Ryan Waldschmidt joining the top tier. Yesavage’s debut, plus Duno’s late-season power surge, underscore the mix of proximity and projection that fantasy managers crave.

The piece keys on PPP—profile, performance, projection—to balance long-term upside against near-term value, guiding dynasty rosters as the 2025 season closes and 2026 pivots begin.

Braves history flashes with a mix of all-time pitching, blazing speed, and era-defining power. Warren Spahn’s 1960 no-hitter with 15 Ks anchors a pitching peak, while Otis Nixon’s 1991 NL-leading 72 stolen bases collided with a 60-day suspension that altered that season’s playoff odds. Lance Johnson’s 1996 NL 20+ triples, Eddie Perez’s 1997 grand slam spree, and a quirky 2007 trio of Joneses show lineup quirks shaping franchise lore. MLB milestones—DiMaggio’s 300th HR, Bonds’ walk cadence, and Thome’s 500th HR—round this arc, offering fantasy projections and historical context for discerning rosters.

Logan Gilbert anchors a volatile 11-game MLB slate, with clear upside on DraftKings and FanDuel as Seattle pushes for the AL West. Andrew Abbott offers a primo pay-down spot in a favorable lefty matchup against a struggling Cardinals offense, while Geraldo Perdomo leads a near-minimum Arizona stack with strong baseline numbers and recent power against right-handers. Yandy Díaz lures exposure in a juicy one-off spot against Jose Berrios, Sal Stewart brings salary relief with multi-sport upside, and Jackson Chourio and Julio Rodríguez provide high-ceiling outfield/SLG raw power in solid spots. Coors-field considerations and weather risk loom for Miami and Arizona stacks, but the slate still rewards patient lineups with a few clear value anchors.

Stack-heavy angles center on Arizona, Milwaukee, and Miami, each with favorable opposing arms and park effects. The value tier leans on Stewart and Heriberto Hernandez as pay-downs, while premium bets around Chourio, Rodríguez, and Gilbert anchor most optimal builds. Monitor late-injuries and rain risk in Seattle–Kansas City, and pivot if delays threaten innings. This slate rewards balance: stable core arms, selective long-shot stacks, and a few underpriced bats with hot recent forms.
