Derrick Henry Still an RB1 in Fantasy Football?

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was a top-eight fantasy option at his position for the fourth year in a row last season. He ranked as the overall RB8 in 2025 with 1,745 scrimmage yards and 16 touchdowns. Even at 32 years old, Henry has proven to be a productive and reliable ball-carrier, as well […]


Andrew Painter Scratched from Start Due to Migraine

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitcher Andrew Painter (head) is experiencing a migraine and has been scratched from Sunday's start against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to Tessa Peloso of PHL17. Right-handed reliever Zach Pop will start in his absence, paving the way for a bullpen game. It's a last-minute change with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 p.m. […]


Kyle Harrison Optimistic About Knee as Brewers Await Test Results

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Kyle Harrison (knee) was "cautiously optimistic with how his knee felt this morning," according to Todd Rosiak of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Manager Pat Murphy noted that the team is still awaiting results from Harrison's medical tests. The 24-year-old southpaw was injured after first baseman Gary Sanchez made an abnormally hard […]


Tyler O'Neill Remains Sidelined on Sunday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the San Francisco Giants. The veteran outfielder hasn't played since last Wednesday, when he went 1-for-2 with a walk and run. For the second consecutive day, Colton Cowser will start in his absence, batting seventh and playing left field. […]


George Springer Placed on 10-Day Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer (toe) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, Eloy Jimenez was selected to the major league roster. Springer fractured his left great toe while fouling a ball off his foot on Saturday. His absence leaves a major void, as he had led off […]


Giancarlo Stanton Not in the Lineup on Sunday

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In his absence, Aaron Judge will be the designated hitter while Randal Grichuk starts in right field. Stanton's power output has declined this season, as he's hit just one home run through 54 plate […]


Jacob Wilson Gets First Day Off This Season

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets. Darell Hernaiz will start in his absence, batting eighth and playing shortstop. This is the first time Wilson has missed a game this season. Presumably, he's just getting the day off, so managers shouldn't be concerned […]


Dodgers Monitoring Edwin Diaz's Velocity

The Los Angeles Dodgers are monitoring closer Edwin Diaz's velocity, manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of The California Post. While Roberts said that Diaz was unavailable on Saturday because he had pitched on Friday, the manager also noted that the team would be keeping a close eye on the reliever's velocity going forward. His […]


Jonathan Taylor Back to High-End RB1 Tier with QB Returning?

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was a high-end RB1 and a dark-horse MVP candidate throughout the first half of the 2025 NFL season. Across his first 10 games of the year, he was averaging 113.9 rushing yards, 3.0 receptions, 26.0 receiving yards, and 1.7 touchdowns per contest. He ranked as the overall RB1 in […]


Jahmyr Gibbs a Real Threat to Bounce Back as the RB1?

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had another spectacular season in 2025, totaling 1,223 rushing yards, 77 catches, 616 receiving yards, and 18 total touchdowns. He scored a career-high 366.9 fantasy points in PPR leagues, but despite this new personal-best mark, he actually dropped in the overall ranking from RB1 in 2024 to RB3 last […]


Is Jaxon Smith-Njigba the WR1 in Dynasty Fantasy Football?

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba took another substantial step forward in 2025, catching 119 of his 163 targets for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns. He set new career-highs in all four categories, and he also had the best fantasy finish of his young career, ranking as the overall WR2 in PPR leagues. He and […]


Can Keon Coleman be Dropped in Dynasty Fantasy Football?

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is coming off another disappointing season in which he caught a modest 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns. He didn't live up to his expectations as a former first-round pick, ranking as the WR60 in PPR leagues. He wasn't a worthwhile fantasy starter, and yet that was […]


Does Chris Rodriguez Jr. Fill a Need for Jacksonville?

The Jacksonville Jaguars went out and signed running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. to a two-year, $10 million deal this offseason. He replaces Travis Etienne Jr. in the Jags' backfield, but that doesn't mean that we should pencil Rodriguez in to acquire all of Etienne's vacated carries (260) and targets (52). Rather, Rodriguez will compete with […]


Darnell Washington Lacks Ties to New Coaching Staff

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington should take over exclusive responsibility of the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Pat Freiermuth, but his lack of ties to the new coaching staff could complicate the situation. Washington was drafted by former head coach Mike Tomlin, and he had the best season of his young […]


fantasy baseball prospects MLB prospects rookies call-ups

Juan Brito, George Klassen, Brandon Valenzuela - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Risers, Fallers

Welcome to Week 3 and the third installment of RotoBaller's Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report for the 2026 MLB season, looking at prospect risers and fallers. As we advance deeper into the regular season, we'll take a closer look at Juan Brito, George Klassen, and Brandon Valenzuela. Each is a top talent in their team's farm […]


Xavier Legette Trending Down Ahead of Year 3

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has not lived up to his hype as a first-round pick, and he could continue to trend in the wrong direction for fantasy football in 2026. Legette has ranked outside the top 60 fantasy receivers in each of his two NFL seasons. Last year, he ranked as the WR71 […]


Rashod Bateman a Cut Candidate in All Dynasty Leagues?

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been extremely underwhelming in fantasy football throughout his five-year career. Despite having high draft capital as a former first-round pick, Bateman has never finished higher than WR40 in fantasy football. He has finished as WR69 or worse in four of his five pro seasons. Most recently, in 2025, […]


Can Ja'Tavion Sanders Break Through in the Panthers' Offense?

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders has struggled to emerge as a relevant fantasy option through his first two seasons in the NFL. He showed some upside near the end of his rookie campaign in 2024, but he has yet to finish higher than TE36 in PPR leagues. It's not for a lack of talent, […]


Can Jayden Reed Bounce Back as a WR3/Flex in 2026?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed had an underwhelming campaign in 2025. Between his reduced role and 10-week injury absence, he finished the season with just 19 catches for 207 yards and one touchdown across seven games. The injury definitely contributed to his down season, but even when he was healthy, he averaged just […]


Travis Hunter to be Full-Time Cornerback, Part-Time Wide Receiver in 2026

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter (knee) should be a full participant by training camp, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Hunter suffered a torn LCL during practice in October and missed the entire second half of the 2025 campaign. When he returns to the field, he'll be a full-time cornerback and part-time receiver. While […]


Broncos Prioritized Re-Signing J.K. Dobbins

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that re-signing running back J.K. Dobbins "was a priority ahead of all others," according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. It was very intriguing to hear Payton go out of his way and identify Dobbins specifically. This could be a sign that he'll continue to have a large […]


Francis Mauigoa to Undergo Additional Imaging on a Back Issue

University of Miami offensive tackle prospect Francis Mauigoa (back) will attend Combine Rechecks on Friday to undergo additional imaging on his back, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Mauigoa experienced discomfort late in the NCAA season while dealing with a back issue that Rapoport described as "minor." All in all, the injury doesn't sound too […]


Kaleb McGary Retires After Seven Years in the NFL

Atlanta Falcons starting right tackle Kaleb McGary (leg) has decided to retire after seven years in the NFL, agent Collin Roberts told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound lineman was Atlanta's first-round pick back in 2019. He started 92 of his 93 career games, but he missed all of the 2025 season due to […]


Jawaan Taylor Signs with the Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have signed free agent offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor to a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The contract includes a base value of $5 million and an additional $1 million available in incentives. Taylor previously spent four seasons in Jacksonville and three seasons in Kansas City. He has started all […]


Henry Bolte - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Rookie Rankings

Hot MLB Prospects to Watch for Fantasy Baseball - James Tibbs III, Kohl Drake, Henry Bolte, Joseph Dzierwa, Rodney Green Jr.

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Not only are we thrilled that Major League Baseball is back in full swing, but we're even more excited that the Minor League Baseball schedule is also underway. Monitoring the top fantasy baseball prospects who have turned heads thus far is imperative. The players listed here are coming off dominant weeks and […]


Patience Dwindling for Ray Davis' Dynasty Managers?

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has failed to establish any sort of standalone value in fantasy football, leading to him being nothing more than a mid-range handcuff. The Kentucky product drew excessive hype during and after the 2024 NFL Draft, but he has yet to get on the fantasy radar consistently with RB40 and […]


Ja'Marr Chase a Real Threat to Finish as Overall WR1?

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a terrific season in 2025 from a fantasy football perspective, ranking as the overall WR4 with 125 catches, 1,412 yards, and eight touchdowns. It was a step back from his overall WR1 finish in 2024, but at least he can still say that he was a top-12 fantasy […]


Javonte Williams Returning to Face Minimal Competition?

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had the backfield to himself for most of the 2025 season, and we could see a similar dynamic in 2026. The Cowboys re-signed Williams to keep him in tow as their primary ball-carrier. He's coming off a breakout campaign in which he finished as the overall RB12 with 1,201 […]


Terry McLaurin the Undisputed Focal Point of Washington's Offense

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin continues to face minimal competition for volume ahead of the 2026 season. McLaurin finished last year with 38 catches, 582 yards, and three touchdowns across 10 games. Missing seven weeks hurt his fantasy stock, but he made the most of his opportunities when on the field, especially in a […]


Justin Herbert a Dynasty Target with New-Look Offense Around Him?

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is coming off his best fantasy season since 2021, and there's a real chance that he could continue to trend upward going forward. Herbert was the overall QB10 in fantasy football last season, tallying 26 passing touchdowns but throwing 13 interceptions. It was his highest interception total since, ironically, […]
