Quick takeaway
Sunday, March 29, 2026 closed the weekend with Emerson Hancock at 30 AthX fantasy points—highest pitcher total on the card. Yandy Díaz, Alex Bregman, and Colson Montgomery tied for the hitter lead at 12 each. This post uses two tables—five arms and five bats—so you are not mixing roles on the same ladder.

How we built these leaderboards
We ranked pitchers (positions SP, RP, P) and hitters (everyone else) separately against daily_player_stats for March 29, 2026, then took the top five in each group. Not a rest-of-season projection. For trading context, see dynamic pricing and understanding dividends.
Why we publish separate pitcher and hitter tables is explained once in the March 26 Top 10 post.

Hitter spotlight
T-1. Yandy Díaz, Alex Bregman, Colson Montgomery (12 FP each)
Díaz led Tampa Bay’s 17-hit attack in an 11–7 game—see the Rays–Cardinals recap. Bregman and Montgomery posted parallel ceiling lines elsewhere on the slate.
T-4. Brendan Donovan (Mariners) and Zach Neto (Angels)
Both at 11 fantasy points. Donovan’s homer keyed Seattle’s middle-inning rally against Cleveland.
Ties, tiers, and how to read them
Hancock clears the pitcher field at 30. Behind him, 20 and 15 clusters look like a normal Sunday—starters and leverage arms stacking without one obvious 40-point outlier. On hitters, 11–12 fantasy points bunch at the top when several lineups erupt the same day.
What this means if you use AthX
Daily fantasy points tell you who won the box score under AthX Engine rules for one night. They do not replace season projections, and they do not predict the next session’s price. They do help you line up what you watched with what the platform stored.
If you trade shares, treat this as context, then layer dynamic pricing and your own read on matchups and health.
