Jaylen Wright a Buy-Low Candidate as a Handcuff?

Make no mistake about it, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane's four-year, $68 million contract extension that he signed on Wednesday is bad news for Jaylen Wright's fantasy stock in dynasty leagues. In Wright's second NFL season in 2025, he had nearly identical numbers to his rookie campaign while playing in five fewer games, although […]

Ollie Gordon II's Dynasty Value Takes a Hit After Teammate's Extension

The Miami Dolphins signed starting running back De'Von Achane to a four-year, $68 million contract extension on Wednesday, which is bad news for both Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Should Michael Soroka be Rostered in More Fantasy Leagues?

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Michael Soroka was definitely not on the radar in many fantasy leagues entering his seventh season in the big leagues after posting a 4.52 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 95:29 K:BB in 89 2/3 frames across his 22 appearances (17 starts) in 2025 with the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs. The stuff wasn't […]

Is Landen Roupp's Strong Start for Real?

San Francisco Giants right-hander Landen Roupp has become a popular waiver-wire pickup because of his strong start in his third year in the big leagues, but can he keep it up, or should fantasy managers sell high on him?

JJ Bleday Continues to Thrive With Reds, Homers Twice on Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder JJ Bleday has looked like a different hitter since joining the Reds this year, as he came into Thursday's action with a .292/.443/.646 slash line, a 1.088 OPS, four home runs, 12 RBI, and eight runs scored in just 15 games played.

Malik Willis Not Set Up for Immediate Success in Miami

Quarterback Malik Willis is guaranteed a starting role in 2026 after signing a three-year, $67.5 million deal with the Miami Dolphins in free agency this offseason. But that doesn't mean that he should be a QB target in dynasty/keeper leagues. The 26-year-old former third-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of Liberty was efficient […]

Terrance Ferguson has Promising Receiving Skills in Crowded TE Room in L.A.

Los Angeles Rams second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson might be one of the most talented pass-catchers at the position for the Rams, but it's still difficult to envision a substantial role for him given the team's stacked TE room.

Steelers Ready to Move on From T.J. Watt?

Some NFL teams could see the Pittsburgh Steelers at least considering moving on from star linebacker T.J. Watt, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. If Pittsburgh ends up signing fellow linebacker Nick Herbig to a long-term extension, the Steelers would have three large contracts (Watt and Alex Highsmith as well) allocated to one position. The […]

Washington Commanders second-year running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (also known as Bill) came into his rookie campaign in D.C. as a sexy sleeper at the position in 2025, and his path to regular playing time in his first year in the NFL was wide open when veteran Austin Ekeler tore his Achilles early on. The 25-year-old […]
