I've been contributing to RotoBaller since January 2024 producing fantasy content for NFL, MLB, and NHL. I am also a member of the operations and staff and the editing team. I have been playing fantasy sports for nearly my entire life and believe in the importance of data analysis leading you to victory. I began my sports writing career with my university newspaper and was eventually promoted to sports editor and was nominated for several awards such as Best Editorial piece by the Press Club of Long Island. In my content, I emphasize data and historical trends as it is the key to finding the edge in our competitions. By analyzing the data given to us, we can make informed decisions and in turn, become sharper fantasy players. I am also an accredited member of the FSWA.

Men's Hockey 2026 Milan Winter Olympics Power Ranking: Every Team from Worst to First

After not appearing in the Winter Olympics since 2014, the National Hockey League will finally send its players for a "best-on-best" tournament in the 2026 Milan Olympics. With NHL players returning to the Olympics after over a decade, it's time to power rank the 12 participating teams and determine which has the best chance of […]


Mikey Romero in Line for 2026 MLB Debut?

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Mikey Romero is in line to make his MLB debut sometime during the 2026 campaign. Romero joined the Red Sox in the opening round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Orange Lutheran HS. Romero opened the 2025 season with Double-A Portland, where he looked quite comfortable, holding a .254/.315/.440 […]


Ryan Clifford to Compete for Early MLB Debut?

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford is unlikely to break camp with the MLB roster, but should be in the mix to reach Queens early in the campaign. Per MLB.com, Clifford is the team's No. 6 prospect and is considered the sport's No. 5 overall first base prospect. Clifford was drafted in the […]


Max Anderson Could Compete for Opening Day Role?

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Max Anderson could compete for a role on the team's Opening Day roster during spring training. Anderson, the team's No. 9-ranked prospect, is often underrated in the system, given Detroit's elite prospects at the top, including outfielder Max Clark and top infielder Kevin McGonigle. However, Anderson tuned up solidly in 2025 […]


Ben Hess Earns Invite to MLB Spring Training

New York Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Ben Hess earned an invite to MLB spring training. Hess is currently ranked as the team's No. 6 prospect by MLB Pipeline and could make a strong case in camp to begin the 2026 season with Triple-A. Hess joined the Yankees with the 26th overall selection in the 2024 […]


Edward Florentino a Budding Star in Pittsburgh System?

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Edward Florentino is a name to keep a close eye on in dynasty formats during the 2026 campaign. Florentino is currently ranked as MLB.com's No. 81 overall prospect and Pittsburgh's No. 5-ranked prospect. However, Florentino looked quite comfortable in his first full season as a professional and could find himself much […]


George Klassen Will Attend Big-League Spring Training

Los Angeles Angels right-handed starting pitcher George Klassen will attend big-league spring training. The right-hander enters the 2026 campaign sitting as the team's No. 3-ranked prospect on MLB.com. Klassen was a sixth-round selection by the Phillies back in the 2023 MLB Draft and is now steps away from making the MLB Opening Day roster. In […]

Outfield Fantasy Baseball Breakout Candidates: High-Upside Draft Targets for 2026

Every season, managers look for the next league-winning lottery ticket in the final rounds of the draft. Last season, past pick 200, managers could have selected George Springer, Nick Lodolo, Byron Buxton, and Nico Hoerner, who all greatly exceeded their ADPs and tuned in career-best seasons. In this piece, we will spotlight five outfielders who […]

Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Busts? Potential Landmines for Drafts (2026)

Navigating the early rounds can be the difference between setting yourself up for success and creating a major hole to dig out of. While leagues are not won (or lost) in the opening rounds, avoiding landmines can be the difference between finishing within the top three or the bottom half of your roto league. In […]


Jaxon Smith-Njigba Returns to Super Bowl After Injury Scare

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (concussion) has returned to the Super Bowl. Smith-Njigba exited the contest in the third quarter after being evaluated for a concussion. However, in the early stages of the game's final frame, the team's top wideout cleared protocol and returned to action. Before exiting, the 23-year-old caught three of his […]


Jaxon Smith-Njigba Being Evaluated for Concussion, Questionable to Return

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (concussion) is questionable to return to the Super Bowl due to being evaluated for a concussion. The team's star wideout was seen jogging to the locker room in the game's third quarter after taking a hit. Before suffering the injury, New England held the 23-year-old to just three catches […]


Tyrice Knight Questionable to Return with Concussion

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Tyrice Knight (concussion) is questionable to return to the Super Bowl due to a concussion. Knight sustained this concussion in the game's third quarter. Before exiting, the 25-year-old linebacker logged one solo tackle. While he remains on the sidelines, fantasy managers should expect Seattle to turn to Drake Thomas to have a […]


Jahlani Tavai Returns to Super Bowl Following Short Exit

New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai (shoulder) has returned to the Super Bowl. Tavai made a brief exit earlier in the second quarter witha shoulder injury. However, Mike Reiss of ESPN reported that the 39-year-old has been cleared to return to action. During the regular season, Tavai logged 42 tackles and is expected to remain […]


Ty Okada Questionable to Return with Calf Injury

Seattle Seahawks safety Ty Okada (calf) is questionable to return to the Super Bowl due to a calf injury. The safety suffered this injury in the game's second frame. Before suffering the injury, the 26-year-old did not get himself on the box score. Throughout the regular season, the free safety served as the No. 2 […]


Jahlani Tavai Questionable to Return in Super Bowl

New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai (shoulder) is questionable to return to the Super Bowl, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. The 29-year-old linebacker sustained this injury when attempting to make a tackle on a third-down stop. Tavai was seen immediately going to the blue medical tent for further evaluation. Before exiting, he did not […]


The #1 Overall Running Back for 2026 Fantasy Football - Sneaky Candidates for RB1

If the fantasy football season taught us anything, it taught us to stop discounting running backs in drafts. This season, we saw Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and De'Von Achane all live up to other Round 1 price tags and provided significantly more value than most early-round WRs such as Justin Jefferson, Brian Thomas […]


Brandon Nimmo Carries High-Floor Profile into 2026

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo continues to have a high floor in category formats heading into the 2026 campaign. Nimmo was shipped to the Rangers in the early stages of the offseason in exchange for infielder Marcus Semien. Over the past two seasons, Nimmo has hit at least 23 home runs while swiping double-digit bases. […]


Can Trevor Story Remain a Consistent Fantasy Option?

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story appeared in 157 games in 2025, which matched a previous career high he set in 2018. Since joining the Red Sox in 2022, Story never appeared in more than 94 games in a season and has only surpassed the 50-game mark once, until 2025. Last season, Story looked like […]


Spencer Strider Carries High Risk Entering 2026

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider had a slight delay to his 2025 campaign after recovering from an internal brace procedure he underwent in 2024. However, once he returned to the bump, the 27-year-old did not look like his usual dominant self. Across 125 1/3 innings, Strider stumbled and posted a 4.45 ERA with a […]


Drake Baldwin Poised for More Productive Year 2?

Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin looked quite comfortable in his debut campaign in the major leagues as he took home NL Rookie of the Year honors. In his first season in Atlanta, Baldwin would hold a strong .274/.341/.469 line with an .810 OPS. Baldwin would tally 18 doubles and 19 home runs, while scoring 56 […]


Ben Rice Could See More Time as Catcher Following Free-Agent Addition

New York Yankees first baseman/catcher Ben Rice could shift to a larger role behind the dish following the signing of veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt split time at first base with Rice last season and typically kept the young first baseman in a platoon role. However, earlier this offseason, Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted […]


Clarke Schmidt Still Targeting Second-Half Return

According to Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network, New York Yankees right-handed starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt (elbow) is still targeting a second-half return. Schmidt underwent an internal brace procedure last July and remains on track to return to the bump during the back half of the 2026 campaign. Before suffering the injury last summer, Schmidt […]


A.J. Ewing a Name to Watch in Mets Pipeline

New York Mets shortstop prospect A.J. Ewing is progressing quite quickly through the minor leagues and is a name to keep a close eye on during the 2026 campaign. Ewing joined the Mets in the 2023 Draft out of Springboro HS. The 21-year-old began the 2025 campaign with Low-A but was able to finish the […]


Cooper Ingle to Contend for Early MLB Debut?

Cleveland Guardians top catching prospect Cooper Ingle is expected to be in the mix for an early MLB debut in 2026. Ingle joined the Guardians in the fourth round of the 2023 MLB Draft out of Clemson. Ingle began 2025 by making his second appearance at the Double-A level. Through 92 games, the young backstop […]


Luis Pena Expected to Begin Season at High-A?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Luis Pena will likely begin the 2026 season at High-A Wisconsin. Pena is considered one of the top prospects in the sport. On MLB.com, the 19-year-old infielder sits as the No. 2-ranked prospect in the system, behind only Jesus Made, and is the sport's No. 18 overall prospect. Pena joined the […]


Carlos Lagrange Earns Ticket to MLB Spring Training

The New York Yankees have invited right-handed pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange to MLB spring training. Lagrange is currently viewed as the team's No. 2-ranked prospect on MLB.com and the No. 74 overall prospect in baseball. Lagrange began the 2025 campaign with High-A Hudson Valley, but would eventually spend the second half with Double-A Somerset. Through […]


Sean Sullivan to Attend Big-League Camp

Colorado Rockies left-handed pitching prospect Sean Sullivan will attend MLB spring training. Sullivan is one of the top budding arms in the Colorado system and now has a path to make his MLB debut later in 2026. The southpaw is currently ranked as the team's No. 12 prospect on MLB.com. The former second-round selection out […]


Jared Thomas Earns Invite to Spring Training

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Jared Thomas earned an invite to big-league spring training. Thomas will join several of the other top prospects in the Colorado system, including Charlie Condon and Cole Carrigg. Thomas is currently ranked as the team's No. 8 prospect on MLB.com. Thomas joined the Rockies in the second round of the 2024 […]


Carlos Estevez Poised for Regression After Career Season

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Carlos Estevez surpassed all expectations during the 2025 campaign. In his debut season in Kansas City, Estevez would tally 42 saves, which were the most in the major leagues. Through 66 innings, the right-hander would post a strong 2.45 ERA with a 106 WHIP. Even though he would strike out […]


Matt Olson Carries High Floor at First Base

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson continues to carry a high floor for fantasy purposes heading into the 2026 regular season. Olson has played in all 162 games since joining the Braves in 2022 and has continued to deliver high-end counting stats. Since 2022, Olson has hit at least 29 home runs in each campaign […]
