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!

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 […]


Luka Doncic Listed as Questionable for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (hip) was listed as questionable for the second game of his team's back-to-back on Thursday. After beating the Rockets on Wednesday, the Lakers listed Doncic, LeBron James (foot), and Austin Reaves (forearm) each as questionable for Thursday's game in Miami. Doncic had 40 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds […]


Cade Cunningham Will Miss at Least Two Weeks

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) will miss at least two weeks, according to the official team update, as he deals with a left collapsed lung. He will be re-evaluated at that time, although this kind of injury usually sidelines players a little longer than just two weeks. There is still optimism that he'll […]


Matt Strahm Considered Day-to-Day After Being Hit By a Comebacker

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Matt Strahm (leg) was diagnosed with a leg contusion and is considered day-to-day after being struck by a line drive against the Rangers. He was removed as a precaution, but the injury doesn't look like it will impact his availability for Opening Day. Strahm was acquired by the Royals from […]


Tatsuya Imai Ready to Make a Splash?

Houston Astros starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai has looked solid in spring training, allowing just two hits and one walk while picking up seven strikeouts in six innings. He worked three perfect innings with four strikeouts against the Marlins last Wednesday. The fact that he only has one walk is especially important since his control has […]


Can Michael Busch Build on Last Year's Success?

Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch broke through as a regular in 2024 and emerged as a solid fantasy starter in 2025. He posted a .261/.343/.523 slash line with 34 home runs, 90 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four stolen bases. He was able to reduce his strikeout rate from 28.6% in 2024 to 23.5% […]


Juan Soto Is Worth an Early First-Round Pick

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is the No. 2 outfielder in the RotoBaller rankings, and he looks ready to live up to lofty expectations in his second season with the Mets. He is worth an early first-round pick since he consistently contributes across the board in multiple categories. Last year, he had a .263/.396/.525 […]


Willson Contreras Continues Strong Spring

Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras is putting together a strong first impression after joining the team this offseason in a trade from the Cardinals. After hitting .257 with 20 homers and a .344 wOBA last year, the 33-year-old has gone 6-for-13 with a pair of homers in limited Grapefruit League action. He was […]


Braxton Ashcraft Stars in Pirates' Victory

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Braxton Ashcraft struck out eight in 5 1/3 strong innings on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. The 26-year-old appeared in 26 games (eight starts) in his first taste of the majors last season, logging 69 2/3 innings and compiling a 2.71 ERA and 2.78 FIP. He looks ready to anchor a […]


Kazuma Okamoto - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Top Third Base Fantasy Baseball Prospect Breakouts and Stashes (2026)

Third base is called the hot corner because of the quick reaction time needed on line drives or hard groundballs down the line that come in "hot." It's a position that also requires quick reactions in fantasy baseball, since there is a big drop-off after the elite options are off the board. If you need […]


Trae Young Will Not Play Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quad) played 21 minutes on Monday in a loss to the Warriors, finishing with 21 points, five assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block. He left the game after colliding with Will Richard and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He'll also miss Tuesday's game against […]


Alexandre Sarr Will Sit Out Tuesday Night Against the Pistons

Washington Wizards center Aleandre Sarr (hamstring) will miss a second straight game on Tuesday when the Wizards host the Pistons. Sarr returned from missing a month just over a week ago and had been playing just over 20 minutes a game. He sat out Monday in the first half of the back-to-back against the Warriors, […]


Bam Adebayo Is Unlikely to Play on Tuesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (calf) is now doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Hornets after originally being listed as questionable. Adebayo has had 21 points and 20 points in his two games since exploding for 83 points a week ago, but it looks like he won't get a chance to continue his productive run […]
