Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more fantasy baseball rankings. The All-Star break is next week, and we are officially at the halfway point of the 2024 MLB regular season. With that being said, it's time for another rankings check-in. Today, we are focusing on points leagues with our updated 2024 fantasy baseball points league rankings for points leagues and head-to-head (H2H) points leagues. There have been many injuries to navigate through, as well as highly touted players who have struggled in the first half of the season. Throughout the MLB season, we'll publish rankings, tools, and analysis articles all geared for fantasy baseball points and H2H points leagues.
In the article below, we will be taking a look at our list of overall points rankings for the rest of the season, put together by RotoBaller MLB analyst Andy Smith. These rankings are specifically designed for points leagues and to help you assess your rosters moving forward. Which of the hot starts do we take seriously, and when is it time to put less stock into struggling players?
Hopefully, these points league rankings below will give you some perspective on our thoughts on these topics and help guide you when evaluating your rosters. Let's see where players such as Paul Skenes, Christian Scott, Mike Trout, James Wood, Jordan Westburg, Brooks Lee, Jarred Kelenic, Jake Irvin, Mark Vientos, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Anderson, and Jose Miranda are listed in our latest points league rankings. The rankings below are specifically designed for points leagues. We also have many other fantasy baseball rankings, tools, and resources to help you win in 2024.

Rest-of-Season Fantasy Baseball Points Rankings (July Update)
These points leagues rankings will be updated every week throughout the season, so some of these situations are very fluid. It's not panic time yet, and we may not be ready to elevate hot-starting players into the elite yet, either, but it's certainly a good checkpoint for the long fantasy season. 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.
