Early Dynasty Risers from the AFL
The weather is hot, but these players are hotter! With all the hype surrounding Kevin McGonigle—and rightfully so—23-year-old infielder Max Anderson has quietly pushed his way into the dynasty mix and is a very real option for the Tigers’ Opening Day roster in 2026.
Success is nothing new for Anderson, a former second-round pick in 2023 out of the University of Nebraska. Anderson was the 2021 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and earned all Big Ten honors in each of his three seasons with the Cornhuskers.
In his debut season (2024), Anderson climbed two levels, slashing .266/.315/.387 with 11 homers and 22 doubles, finishing at Double-A. An aggressive approach kept his walk rate just under 7%, but he struck out just 14% of the time thanks to outstanding contact skills.
Anderson carried his skills over to 2025. He played his first 90 games at Double-A Erie before finishing the season with Triple-A Toledo. In 122 games, Anderson hit .296 with 19 home runs, 78 runs scored, and 88 RBIs.
Author's summary: Max Anderson rises in dynasty rankings.
