| Dominic Libassi | +450 | Ran away with the power rankings (47/48 pts) and has the league's most consistent career mark. The clear favorite by both measures. |
| Dylan Wilson | +550 | 2nd in the power rankings (41 pts) and the best debut record in league history (10-4) — the favorite nobody's crowned yet. |
| Damon Libassi | +650 | Two finals appearances in two years, and the panel still respects him (34 pts, 4th) despite a losing career record. |
| Michael Gilpin | +700 | Reigning champ, but the panel wasn't as sold this time (26 pts, tied 5th) — a real "prove it again" season. |
| Nick Howard | +900 | 3rd in the power rankings (35 pts) on the strength of the Taylor/Jeanty backfield — the league sees the 3-11-to-contender leap coming. |
| Aayush Iyer | +1100 | No track record, but the panel likes this roster more than seniority would suggest — tied 5th at 26 pts in his very first ballot. |
| Nathaniel Bloss | +1300 | Steady .500 career, quietly the best non-champion postseason record (5-2) in the league — voters have him mid-pack at 21 pts. |
| Tommy Rock | +1400 | Three seasons of streaky play, and the lowest power-ranking score (17 pts) among the founders — voters aren't betting on a bounce-back yet. |
| Matthew Upton | +1800 | No track record, but the panel graded this roster better than his rookie-manager status alone would suggest (24 pts, 7th). |
| Chris Strife | +2000 | Boom-or-bust career mark, and the power rankings split the difference — 22 pts, comfortably middle of the pack. |
| Alex Drake | +2400 | Runner-up once, trending the wrong way since — and the panel agrees, dead last on all 4 ballots at just 4 points. |
| Dalton Difondi | +2600 | No track record, and the power rankings weren't kind either (15 pts, 2nd-to-last) — the field's biggest unknown, voted accordingly. |
