This past week at The Dynasty Guru, we examined infield, outfield, and pitching prospects with increasing and decreasing fantasy value. In addition, TDG updated the Top 500 Dynasty League Players, including 145 prospects, in mid-July. As the culmination of the monthly review and update, we shall revisit the Top 240 Fantasy Prospects, published in June.

Fantasy value is ever-changing. Like the stock market, there are stable assets and volatile, high-risk / high-reward assets. When it comes to prospects, value swings are common and often drastic, and the astute fantasy owner must quickly adapt. As nearly two months passed since the last update, there is plenty of movement in the Top 240.
