Join The Ranks: dynasty fantasy baseball advice

It's Week 6 of the Ranking Season at The Dynasty Guru and we're ranking the catchers!
Who might keep catcher eligibility, what are the Diamondbacks doing, and who forgot Joe Mack?
Chris and Drew preview the TDG Prospect and Dynasty Rankings for first base, giving their take on some of the risers, fallers, and possible bounce back candidates. Be sure to check the full lists this week on TheDynastyGuru.com
And back by popular demand and still waiting for this year's first entry, the RIOT contest. If you're the first to correctly identify the Randomly Inserted Obscure song Title, we'll give you a free pass into the TDG Discord! And if you guess the most correctly all season long, you'll get a free pass to next year's Discord.
