Here is the June edition of my rest-of-season position rankings and overall top 300 for 5x5 leagues. I’m behind on comments, a consequence of being a little under the weather these last few days, but I’ll be filling in some more throughout the day Thursday.

- I’d love to have Christopher Morel higher, but it seems like a bad sign that he was already on the bench Monday and Wednesday and that he’s been utilized as a DH for the most part lately. I think he’s at least a top-15 fantasy second baseman if the Cubs stick with him, but he may not be particularly consistent about it and the Cubs aren’t going to be very patient with his slumps if he’s not contributing defensively.
- I might have dropped Thairo Estrada too much, but there haven’t been any updates on his status since he went on the IL and wrist injuries scare me. If he shows some progress over the next week, then I’d move him back up closer to where I had him last month.
