Zach Thompson

1506 articles

Zach has been covering fantasy sports across multiple platforms and websites since 2008, and he's been playing fantasy sports since the late 90s, when he totaled the fantasy scores from the box scores in the newspaper. He has covered a variety of sports from a fantasy perspective, including the main ones like baseball, basketball, golf, football, and hockey, while also jumping into some more exotic options like Australian Rules Football and rugby. Basically, any sport that has a fantasy format--he'll play it! Even though he grew up almost 8,000 miles away in Guam, he was raised a diehard Boston sports fan. After playing soccer competitively throughout high school and college, Zach now lives in central Massachusetts with his wife and four children. He attends as many games in as many sports as possible and has found a passion for watching minor league baseball and tracking player development. Zach specializes in finding bargain plays from obscure spots, and nothing is sweeter than when a low ownership bargain option carries your fantasy team to the win!

Alperen Sengun Listed as Questionable for Thursday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (ankle) was listed as questionable for his team's road game in Atlanta against the Hawks on Thursday due to a right ankle sprain. Sengun has played in 10 straight games for Houston since missing three games early in January. Over that stretch, the 23-year-old has averaged 20.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, […]


Onyeka Okongwu Will Not Play Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (dental) left Wednesday's win in Boston early with what was called a facial contusion but has now been updated to a dental fracture, which will keep him out of Thursday's game against the Rockets. Okongwu has averaged 16.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 32 minutes per game in his […]


Jalen Johnson Questionable Thursday Against Houston

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (calf) was listed as questionable for Thursday night's home game against the Rockets, as his team finishes out a back-to-back. On Wednesday, Johnson had 19 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists to help Atlanta get a nice road win in Boston against the Celtics, but his is now dealing with […]


Wilyer Abreu Earning a Full-Time Role?

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors this offseason, due to his team's apparently overcrowded outfield. However, Boston hasn't been willing to part with him at his current value on the open market, and Abreu has also drawn praise for his work this offseason. Both GM Craig […]


Gabe Klobosits Signs Minor-League Contract With Cubs

Free agent pitcher Gabe Klobosits will look to earn a spot in the bullpen for the Chicago Cubs after agreeing to a minor-league deal with the team before the start of spring training. While he hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021, when he went 0-1 with a 5.56 ERA in 11 games for the […]


Jordan Groshans Agrees to Minor-League Deal With Braves

Free-agent infielder Jordan Groshans joined the Atlanta Braves organization on a minor-league deal, and the former top prospect will look to get back on track with a new team. After being the No. 12 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, Groshans eventually made his big-league debut with the Marlins […]


Darren McCaughan Signs Minor-League Deal With Reds

Free-agent pitcher Darren McCaughan will try to earn a spot with the Cincinnati Reds after signing a minor-league contract that includes an invite to spring training. The right will be 30 years old at the start of the season and has spent time with the Mariners and Twins over the last several seasons. He pitched […]


Kevin Gausman Ready to Keep Rolling in 2026

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman has been extremely reliable and consistent for the Blue Jays in the first four years of his five-year deal signed as a free agent before the 2022 season. The 36-year-old righty is entering the final year of his contract, and over the last five seasons (including his last […]


Cam Thomas Will Be Available Tuesday in Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) was listed as available to play Tuesday after he was forced to miss Sunday's game against the Clippers with a sprained ankle. The 24-year-old still has a very high ceiling, even though he has been limited to only 20 games by injuries this season and is only averaging 16.2 […]


Malik Monk Ruled Out on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to out for his team's matchup in New York on Tuesday. With Zach LaVine (back) also unavailable, Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, and Keon Ellis will need to step up with Monk on the shelf. After spending part of the season out of the rotation, Monk […]


Zach LaVine Will Not Play Tuesday in New York

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (back) was downgraded from questionable to out on Tuesday for this team's matchup at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks. This will be the 30-year-old's second straight absence due to a sore lower back, and when he missed Sunday's game, Nique Clifford stepped in and produced 15 points and three […]


Bilal Coulibaly Ready to Return to Action Against Portland

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (back) is listed as available for his team's Tuesday night home game against the Trail Blazers. Coulibaly has been sidelined for almost two weeks with back soreness, missing the last five games. The 21-year-old has started all 25 of his games this season, averaging 10.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, […]


Deni Avdija Draws Another Questionable Tag on Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Deni Avdija (back) missed his second straight game with a back strain on Monday, but head coach Tiago Splitter was hopeful that Avdija could return on Tuesday. He has a chance to take on his former team, the Wizards, but he's still uncertain to return since he got another questionable tag. […]


Jusuf Nurkic Will Not Play Tuesday Against Clippers

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) was downgraded from doubtful to out before Tuesday's home matchup against the Clippers. The veteran has been a regular on the injury report with an illness, but he has been playing very well when available, producing a triple-double in each of his last three games. Keyonte George (rest) will […]


Lauri Markkanen Available Tuesday Night

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (conditioning) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday night's matchup at home against the Clippers. The Finnish star will return after missing seven games with illness and return to competition conditioning. He could step right into a big workload since Keyonte George (rest) will get the night off. George's absence […]


Aaron Sanchez Agrees to Minor-League Contract With Royals

Free-agent starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Royals after an impressive showing in the Dominican Winter League. Sanchez compiled a 1.55 ERA with 34 strikeouts and 9 walks in 46 1/3 innings to earn the Pitcher of the Year award in that league. Sanchez hasn't pitched in the majors […]


Nelson Velazquez Signs Minor-League Deal With Cardinals

Free-agent outfielder Nelson Velazquez has reached an agreement with the St. Louis Cardinals on a minor-league deal that includes an invite to spring training. Last year, Velázquez played 51 games in Triple-A for the Royals and Pirates, hitting .234 with 11 homers, 31 RBI, and a .334 wOBA. The 27-year-old righty showed some power potential […]


Dylan Moore Could Be a Fit in Boston

Free-agent infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore has had conversations with the Boston Red Sox, which makes sense since the team still has a ways to go before finalizing its infield setup for 2026. After Alex Bregman departed via free agency, the team has potential openings at 2B and 3B, with youngsters Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell potentially […]


Paul Goldschmidt Plans to Play in 2026

Free agent first baseman Paul Goldschmidt does not have a contract for 2026, but the 38-year-old is still planning to play in the upcoming season. After eight seasons in Arizona and six in St. Louis, he spent last year with the Yankees. His power production dropped, and he hit only 10 homers in 146 games, […]


Bryce Miller Bulks Up in the Offseason

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller is looking for a bounce-back 2026 season, and he reported on X that he's added 12 pounds this offseason and gained a little velocity. Miller went a solid 12-8 in 31 starts in 2024, with a 2.49 ERA and 3.58 FIP. He battled multiple injuries in 2025, making 18 […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! This Monday, the NBA tips off another great week of action on the court with seven games spread throughout the day. After a couple of afternoon tilts, the five games starting at 7:00 p.m. ET or later make up the main slate for DFS fantasy basketball on both DraftKings and FanDuel. With […]


Davion Mitchell Uncertain to Play Thursday Against Portland

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) was a late addition to his team's injury report ahead of their Thursday night matchup against the Trail Blazers. Mitchell missed two games with a shoulder contusion before returning Monday and playing 25 minutes against the Warriors. He also played on Tuesday against the Kings, logging 19 minutes, but […]


Kel'el Ware Ruled Out Thursday Against the Trail Blazers

Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware (hamstring) was downgraded from questionable to out for his team's Thursday night game in Portland. He also missed Tuesday's game against the Kings, and he's likely day-to-day at this point since no clear timetable has been given. With Ware missing a second straight game, the Heat will most likely go […]


Julius Randle Added to Thursday's Injury Report as Questionable

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (foot) was a mid-day addition to the injury report for his team's home game against the Bulls on Thursday. Randle is dealing with foot soreness, and if he's ruled out, Naz Reid would likely step into even more work off the bench and be a great play against the Bulls […]


Franz Wagner Ruled Out Thursday Against Charlotte

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will not play Thursday in his team's first game back after two international matchups against the Grizzlies over the last week. Wagner was sidelined for over a month due to a sprained left ankle before returning for the games in Germany and London, but he won't be ready for […]


LaMelo Ball Questionable for Thursday's Matchup in Orlando

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (thumb) is listed as questionable for the second game of his team's back-to-back, which is scheduled for Thursday night in Orlando. Charlotte played the star guard off the bench on Wednesday against the Cavaliers, and he went just 1-for-15 from the field in 22 minutes while also picking up this […]


Moussa Cisse Upgraded to Probable

Dallas Mavericks center Moussa Cisse (illness) will likely be active on Thursday night for his team's home game against the Warriors. He was upgraded from questionable to probable and will likely serve as the team's primary backup center behind Dwight Powell since Daniel Gafford (ankle) was downgraded to doubtful. Cisse has put together three straight […]


Daniel Gafford Downgraded to Doubtful Thursday Against Golden State

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Thursday night's home game against the Warriors. Gafford has missed three straight games with his right ankle sprain and doesn't look likely to return Thursday. With Anthony Davis (finger) also sidelined, Dwight Powell and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely get most of the […]


Khris Middleton Upgraded to Available Thursday Against Denver

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (illness) was upgraded from questionable to available for his team's rematch with the Nuggets on Thursday. The veteran forward had 16 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in Denver last Saturday and has been turning in good numbers in the absence of Bilal Coulibaly (back) for the last week. Middleton […]
