Zach Thompson is a fantasy sports analyst and writer at RotoBaller, a multi-award-winning fantasy sports media company. He has been covering fantasy sports across multiple platforms since 2008 and has been playing fantasy sports since the late 1990s, when he manually calculated fantasy scores using box scores from the newspaper. Zach has covered a wide range of sports from a fantasy perspective, including baseball, basketball, football, golf, and hockey, while also exploring more niche formats such as Australian Rules Football and rugby. Simply put, if a sport has a fantasy format, Zach is willing to participate. Although he grew up nearly 8,000 miles away in Guam, Zach was raised a passionate Boston sports fan. After playing soccer competitively throughout high school and college, he now lives in central Massachusetts with his wife and four children. Zach enjoys attending as many sporting events as possible and has developed a particular passion for minor league baseball and tracking player development. His fantasy analysis often focuses on identifying undervalued players in overlooked situations, and few things are more satisfying than seeing a low-rostered player lead you to a fantasy championship!

Masyn Winn Is "OK" After Single-Car Accident

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn was involved in a single-car accident on Wednesday after the team's walk-off win against the Mets. Winn had the game-winning hit and is 4-for-25 (.160) with two doubles, two walks, and a stolen base in his first six games. The team said the accident was a result of wet […]


Lucas Erceg Tallies Second Save, Emerging as Must-Roster Closer

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Lucas Erceg earned his second save of the season on Wednesday night by closing out the Twins in the Royals' 13-9 win at Kauffman Stadium. Erceg didn't start the ninth inning, since his team had a seven-run lead, but after Bailey Falter allowed three runs, bringing the tying run to […]


Trevor Rogers Sharp Again on Wednesday, Continues to Produce as High-End Starting Pitcher

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Trevor Rogers turned in another outstanding outing on Wednesday, pitching six strong innings against the Rangers. Rogers had just three strikeouts, but allowed only six hits in six innings against Texas, improving to 2-0 in his two starts this season. Rogers has only allowed two runs in his 13 innings this […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! After an awesome Opening Day, baseball feels so back. On the first full day of baseball, 28 different players hit a home run to deliver big wins on their home run props. I'm excited to jump back into home run props this season, trying to identify which players have the best chance […]


Killian Hayes Ruled Out Tuesday Against Charlotte

Sacramento Kings guard Killian Hayes (foot) was downgraded from questionable to out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets. He left Sunday's win early due to foot soreness and will join Russell Westbrook (foot) on the sidelines. Without both veterans, Sacramento could let Devin Carter and Malik Monk carry more of the load. Carter is interesting […]


Precious Achiuwa Will Not Play Tuesday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (back) was downgraded from questionable to out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte. Achiuwa has been playing significant minutes lately, reaching double-digit points in six straight games, highlighted by a 14-point, 15-rebound performance against the Nets in his most recent outing. With the veteran out on Tuesday, Dylan Cardwell, Doug McDermott, […]


Coach Billy Donovan Stepping Away From the Bulls at the End of the Season?

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan may be leaving the team at the end of the season, according to the latest from Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, who reports that there has been "growing momentum around the building that Donovan could step away." It has been a very tough season for the Bulls coach, […]

8 Breakout Hitters For Fantasy Baseball Drafts: Zach Thompson's Picks

In the middle of fantasy baseball draft season, every manager is on the hunt for the same thing: breakouts. Every year is full of players who step up and produce better numbers than they have in the past and improve their fantasy baseball standing significantly, from where they are drafted to where they actually produce […]


T.J. Rumfield Ready for a Real Role?

Colorado Rockies first baseman T.J. Rumfield has emerged as a breakout candidate to watch this spring training. The Rockies added Rumfield from the Yankees, who didn't have room for the 25-year-old lefty who hit .285 with 16 dingers in Triple-A last season. Rumfield seems to have claimed the wide-open job as the Rockies' starting 1B […]


Can Carson Benge Be a Waiver-Wire Wonder?

New York Mets outfielder Carson Benge is set to make a splash early in the season. He has officially made the roster and should play a regular role in the outfield. The lefty could end up in a platoon with righty Tyrone Taylor, but he should get enough time to make a real impact as […]


Chase DeLauter Emerging as a Top Early Season Waiver-Wire Pickup

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter is having an outstanding spring training and makes a great pickup from the waiver wire or an awesome last-round snag. The 24-year-old lefty hasn't played a regular-season game but made his MLB debut in the playoffs last year. He hit .278 in 34 games at Triple-A with five homers and […]


Austin Hedges Will Have Scans After Early Exit

Cleveland Guardians catcher Austin Hedges (hand) was forced to leave Monday night's game after taking a fastball off the back of his right hand. The 33-year-old veteran was visibly upset and will undergo further testing on Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury. Hedges was set to split time behind the plate with Bo […]


Caleb Durbin Can Be a Great Late-Round Sleeper

Boston Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin is expected to open the season in an everyday role with plenty of potential, and he can be a great way to add some infield depth late in your fantasy draft or even off the waiver wire if he slips through your draft. Durbin shipped up to Boston […]

Top Second Base (2B) Fantasy Baseball Prospects for 2026

As you construct your fantasy baseball team for 2026, second base can be a challenging spot to fill. Aside from a few elite options that go very early, there isn't a lot of depth that possesses upside. The elite options offer strong combinations of power and speed, making them even more valuable because they produce […]

Today's NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineups, Values, Stacks (Monday, 3/23/26)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The NBA has 10 games on the scoreboard this Monday, and both DraftKings and FanDuel are including the first eight of those 10 games on the main NBA DFS slate. The two late games in Portland and Inglewood are not on the main slate, but with 16 teams in the player pool, […]

5 Fantasy Baseball Breakout Candidates at Second Base - Undervalued Draft Targets (2026)

Second base can be a challenging fantasy position since it lacks depth. The top couple of options at the position are superstars who can contribute in multiple categories and are typically drafted early, but after the first few reliable selections are gone, there is a sharp dropoff to the rest of the group. However, if […]


Wendell Carter Jr. Will Not Play Thursday in Charlotte

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (rib) will not play on Thursday due to a rib contusion. Even though he wasn't on the team's initial injury report, they downgraded him straight to out on Thursday afternoon. Carter had been playing well with double-digit points in four straight and six of his last seven, and without […]


Jalen Smith Questionable for Thursday Against the Cavs

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for the team's home game on Thursday night against Cleveland. Since returning from a multi-game absence with a calf injury, Smith has started four of the last five games, sitting out the second night of a back-to-back. While he only played 17 minutes in the […]


Donovan Mitchell Downgraded to Questionable

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) was added to the team's injury report for Thursday against the Bulls as questionable due to a left eye contusion. Late additions to the injury report often lead to absences, and if Mitchell is unable to play this game in Chicago, it will be a great spot for Dennis […]


Bilal Coulibaly Will Not Play on Thursday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will miss Thursday's rematch with the Pistons, which will be his second straight absence. With Trae Young (quad), Kyshawn George (elbow), and Coulibaly all sidelined, there should be plenty of work for rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley, along with Bub Carrington and Jaden Hardy, who chipped in 16 […]


Alexandre Sarr Will Play on Thursday Against Detroit

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (toe) was upgraded from questionable to available for his team's home game against Jalen Duren and the Pistons on Thursday night. Sarr has a very high ceiling when he's at full strength and is averaging 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 28 minutes per game on the season. He […]


Kawhi Leonard May Not Play Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is on the team's injury report on Thursday, listed as questionable for the second game of the two-game, back-to-back set in New Orleans. Kawhi had 25 points in 29 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, but it isn't certain if he'll be able to play as the […]


Darius Garland Ruled Out Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not play on Thursday, as his team finishes a back-to-back set against the Pelicans in New Orleans. Garland played 29 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, but only had 13 points to go with six assists. While he is out for injury maintenance on Thursday, Kris […]


Austin Reaves Uncertain for Thursday's Game Against the Heat

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (forearm) was listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup in Miami, joining LeBron James (foot) and Luka Doncic (hip), who also have questionable tags. If Reaves plays and either or both of the other two stars sit, he'll have a very high ceiling against the Heat, but there's also a […]


LeBron James Questionable for His Return to Miami

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) may not be taking his talents to South Beach after all--at least not for Thursday's game against the Heat. James was listed as questionable for the second game of the team's back-to-back, along with Luka Doncic (hip) and Austin Reaves (forearm). If any one or two of the […]
