My 2018 De Facto Favorites

The Dynasty Guru’s Top 50 Dynasty League Catchers, #1-20
It’s been a slow off-season. Like, a really slow off-season. With the hot stove frigid, fantasy baseball players haven’t had many ways to quench their thirst, unless they’ve thrown themselves head-first into football, basketball, or hockey. January and February can be some of the darkest months of the year (figuratively
Rankings Debate: J.T. Realmuto vs. Salvador Perez vs. Francisco Mejia
Every year at The Dynasty Guru, we meticulously rank over 600 players for our loyal readers.

Scouting the Minor League Leaderboard
My wife will tell you that I’m very quick to discard things. I think the most frightening show on television is Hoarders. Not The Walking Dead, or Game of Thrones, or ESPN’s First Take. I’m more terrified of a cluttered home than the zombie apocalypse, or White Walkers, or being

Congratulations on surviving another off-season. Now that the new year is upon us, it’s time to spend the next month traveling across the positional landscape, labeling players with numbers that correspond to their value. It’s the very definition of freedom. A ton of hard work was put into these rankings,

We’ve finally made it. Over the next 31 days, the writers at TDG take you through our rankings position-by-position. As I mentioned in the primer, this year we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of having my personal rankings up on this site, like last year, these rankings for 2014
Do Not Fall In Love With Mike Zunino
Perhaps you drafted Jesus Montero as your starting catcher this season. Maybe you’re in a league that starts two catchers. Maybe you were drunk and thought Tyler Flowers would be good this year. Perhaps you put all your eggs in Ryan Doumit’s basket. There are plenty of reasons why Fantasy
