AFL Fantasy 2026 Keeper League Rankings | Top 100 Breakdown & Dynasty Rookie Targets

The pre-season rolls on, and we’re back with another episode of The Keeper League Podcast — this time diving deep into keeper rankings and dynasty draft strategy.

Joining us this week is Matty D’Sena as we unpack Heff’s Top 100 keeper league rankings and what they mean for coaches building for both immediate success and long-term upside. Keeper leagues are all about balancing scoring, age profile, role security, and future growth — and this episode is designed to help you navigate that landscape with confidence.

We break down how to interpret and apply the Top 100 rankings, where value pockets exist, and how different team builds should influence your draft decisions. Matty also shares his top dynasty rookie draft targets, highlighting the young players with the strongest mix of opportunity, talent, and long-term fantasy potential.

We cover:

• How to use keeper rankings to shape draft strategy
 • Interpreting Heff’s Top 100 for short- and long-term builds
 • Value tiers and draft philosophy in keeper formats
 • Matty’s top dynasty rookie draft targets
 • Younger players worth prioritising in long-term leagues
 • Strategy discussion around roster construction and timeline planning

An extended version of this episode is available for Keeper League members, featuring additional dynasty rookie discussion and deeper analysis of Matty’s rankings.

This episode is focused entirely on draft and keeper leagues — not salary cap formats — helping coaches make smarter decisions today while planning for sustained success.
