2022 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 30 Catchers

The start of positional weeks here at Fake Teams is always an exciting time. There’s a new year, and with it the promise of the ensuing fantasy baseball season.

Unfortunately, due to the MLB lockout we don’t have much of a Hot Stove season to discuss as we dive into each position. But we all need something to look forward to, right? I’m hoping the two sides come up with an accord that allows for baseball to be played on time this year—on time for an Opening Day of March 31st.

As for positional weeks, we’ll begin with catchers. You know the drill if you’ve been here before. It’s a solid week devoted to each position. Here’s the proposed schedule:

These rankings are presented without much preamble, as further analysis will follow throughout the week. We’ll share our targets, avoids, sleepers, prospects to watch, and more. And if you aren’t into catchers, at least we are getting the position over with first...right?

Below, you’ll see a few ties, at least when it comes to average ranking. Feel free to settle those in the comments! There are three such battles: Stephenson vs. Ruiz, Kirk vs. Stassi, and Stallings vs. Gomes. Was there ever a trio of more exciting duos? I don’t think so.
