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 […]


David Bednar Poised to Remain Elite Closer in New York

New York Yankees relief pitcher David Bednar continues to hold value as one of the top relievers in fantasy baseball heading into the 2026 regular season. Bednar joined the Yankees shortly before the 2025 trade deadline and was quite impressive during his first stint in the Bronx. Over his first 24 2/3 innings in New […]


Angels Closing in on Contract with Brent Suter

The Los Angeles Angels are closing in on a contract with relief pitcher Brent Suter, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Suter has bounced between the rotation and bullpen throughout his 10-year MLB career, but has begun to settle in as a primary reliever over the past five campaigns. Last summer, the reliever spent his […]


Ty France Linked to Three Suitors Ahead of Spring Training

Free agent first baseman Ty France remains linked to several clubs on the open market. According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the veteran infielder could sign in Cleveland, Colorado, or San Diego. The Padres recently added depth outfielder Miguel Andujar, but have shown interest in France. Last summer, France began the campaign with the Minnesota […]


Kyle Finnegan Not Expected to See Many Save Opportunities?

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan may not see many save opportunities to open the season. On a recent podcast, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch broke down his bullpen plan for the start of the season. While he suggested that Kenley Jansen would be the favorite to open the season as the team's primary night-inning option, […]

Jhostynxon Garcia to Compete for Starting Role in Spring Training

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia is expected to be in serious competition for a starting job during spring training. The Pirates acquired Garcia from the Red Sox earlier in December in a package that sent Johan Oviedo to Boston. Garcia made a brief debut in the major leagues last season, posting a .143/.333/.286 line […]


Spencer Jones Facing More Competition for Role on Opening Day Roster?

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones will have a much tougher task to crack the Opening Day roster during spring training, following the signing of Cody Bellinger. Before Bellinger was slated to return to the Bronx, Jones was expected to be considered for a role in left field, competing alongside switch-hitter Jasson Dominguez. However, […]


Josue Briceno Invited to Big-League Camp

Detroit Tigers top catching prospect Josue Briceno was invited to MLB spring training. Briceno will join the team's other two top hitting prospects, Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark. Per MLB.com, Briceno is ranked as the sport's No. 33 prospect while he sits as Detroit's No. 3, sitting behind the two previously noted hitters. Briceno opened […]


Eduardo Quintero a Budding Star in Dodgers System?

According to MLB.com, Quintero is currently listed as the team's No. 3 overall prospect and the No. 34-best prospect in the entire sport. Quintero spent most of the 2025 campaign in Low-A but earned a brief […]
