First Base (1B) Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Points Leagues - February Updates (2025)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. - Fantasy Baseball

RotoBaller's first base (1B) points league fantasy baseball rankings, updated for February 2025. Win your drafts with our points league and H2H points rankings.

At RotoBaller HQ, we know many fantasy managers play in fantasy baseball points leagues and have generated rankings designed specifically for points formats. Today we're looking at our team's 2025 fantasy baseball first base rankings and tiers for points leagues and H2H points leagues.

In these formats, we are looking to prioritize first basemen who get on base with power. Four first basemen round out the top 20, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Freddie Freeman, Matt Olson, and Bryce Harper leading the way. First base isn't as deep as it's been in years past, and the talent at the cornerstone can wane down once the top eight 1B are off the board. However, there are some first basemen with upside, such as Triston Casas, Michael Toglia, and Jake Burger, who can be drafted in the middle rounds. 

The 1B rankings below are specifically designed for points leagues, put together by RotoBaller's MLB points expert Nicklaus Gaut. We also have many other fantasy baseball rankings, tools, and resources to help you win in 2025, including our constantly-updated fantasy baseball points rankings for all positions. Be sure to also download our free fantasy baseball mobile app so you can stay on top of all the MLB news and analysis articles.

1B Points Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (February)

These first base rankings are for points and head-to-head points leagues. You can also see our roto fantasy baseball rankings.

Before we get to the rankings, let's quickly review points leagues and how they differ from other formats. Typically, points leagues have different league settings and scoring formats than other fantasy baseball leagues. Different MLB stats and categories are assigned different point values, and those can vary by individual league settings. Those different point buckets are then added up over the course of a scoring period or season.

In many cases, hitters who walk more and strike out less are preferred for points leagues. Also, many league formats tend to give more weight to pitchers than normal, as they can easily accrue points through categories like Innings Pitched. These are the general frameworks that we use for our points league rankings below, and explain why they look different than more standard 5x5 roto fantasy baseball rankings.
