Dylan Crews Extends Hitting Streak, Remains a Priority Waiver Wire Target?
Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews currently owns a five-game hitting streak, and he has already emerged as an intriguing waiver wire target in fantasy baseball leagues despite being called up from Triple-A just 10 days ago. In eight games since his promotion, Crews is slashing .242/.265/.364 with one home run, one stolen base, a 2.9% walk rate, a 20.6% strikeout rate, and 75 wRC+. Those numbers aren't great, but he has reached base in all eight of those contests, and he has a hit in seven of the eight. This type of consistency makes him an intriguing waiver wire addition, especially in deeper leagues. He's available for most managers, too, as he's rostered in just 20% of fantasy baseball leagues. It's a low-risk move for managers, and it could pay off as Crews continue to play (and hit the ball well) just about every day.

Payton Tolle a Priority Addition as Strikeout Rate Climbs
Boston Red Sox starter Payton Tolle has solidified himself as a key rotation piece for the team, and in doing so, he has also emerged as a high-priority waiver wire target for fantasy baseball managers. Tolle started the year in Triple-A, but he was called up in late April and has been terrific since then. Across seven big-league starts, he owns a 2.66 ERA, 2.19 xERA, 10.02 K/9, 2.40 BB/9, and 0.65 HR/9. His ground ball rate is a modest 34%, but that's close to his career average in the minors, and we're not concerned about it because his HR/9 rate is low. Strikeouts have always been one of Tolle's strengths, and he has put that on display lately. He has 16 strikeouts over his last 10.2 innings of work. He is also 1-0 over his last three starts, as well as 2-1 over his last five starts. With a high strikeout rate, low walk rate, low home run rate, and low ERA -- as well as an ability to pitch deep into games -- Tolle is a must-add name on the waiver wire. The lefty is available in 44% of leagues, and he ranks as the #46 starting pitcher in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Can Chig Okonkwo Become a TE1 in Dynasty Leagues?
Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo is trending upward after his change of scenery this past offseason. The Commanders signed Okonkwo after he spent four seasons with the Tennessee Titans. With the Titans, he managed to rank as the TE25 or higher every year. That stretch included three consecutive finishes as the overall TE21 from 2023 through 2025. He's always been a decent option for targets, and his ability to stretch the field gives him explosive upside. However, he's been relatively uninvolved near the goal line for a tight end. He caught three touchdowns as a rookie in 2022, and he had just two each of the last two seasons. We like Okonkwo's chances to find the end zone more often in Washington. During his two years as a Commander, Ertz totaled 11 touchdowns, averaging 0.37 touchdowns per game. The Washington offense has some work to do as a whole, but Okonkwo is the clear No. 1 tight end here, and he could ultimately be Jayden Daniels' second-favorite target behind Terry McLaurin. Despite finishing lower than TE20 every year, the Maryland product has jumped to TE17 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Aaron Jones Sr. Trending Down in Dynasty Leagues
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. is trending in the wrong direction as he prepares for his age-31 season. Injuries limited Jones to 12 games last year, and it marked the second time in three seasons that he missed at least five weeks. The veteran ball-carrier finished the 2025 campaign with 548 rushing yards, 199 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. He finished as the RB41 in PPR leagues, which was his worst mark since his rookie season in 2017. While being healthy for 2026 will help his stock a little, Jones is losing dynasty appeal as he gets older and his role shrinks. Jones no longer has control over the lead-back role in Minnesota. At best, he's splitting touches with Jordan Mason, and we also can't rule out the possibility that Mason takes over the starting job. Jones has always been a capable pass-catcher, so that will keep him relevant in PPR leagues for a little while, but the trajectory is unfavorable. Jones has fallen to RB53 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Josh Jung Emerging as a Waiver Wire Target with Altered Plate Approach
Across 211 plate appearances so far this season, Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is hitting .307/.365/.474 with six home runs, 22 RBI, 24 runs scored, and one stolen base. The 28-year-old's biggest barrier to success to this point in his career has been health, as he's never played more than 131 games or logged more than 515 plate appearances in a season. However, Jung has managed to stay on the field in 2026 and has established himself as a fixture in the heart of the Rangers' lineup. Jung has also drastically altered his approach at the plate, cutting his strikeout rate from 25.2% in 2025 to 14.7% so far this year. While Jung's improved contact rate makes his .307 batting average more believable, he's seemingly willingly sacrificing power. His current barrel rate of 6.2% is the worst mark of his career and may make it difficult for him to reach 20 homers, even if he stays healthy the rest of the way. Still, Jung has been an impact bat in 2026 and should continue to rack up counting stats as long as he stays on the field. In leagues where he's not already rostered, Jung profiles as a viable waiver wire target.

Romeo Doubs Offers Dynasty Upside Even as the No. 2 Receiver
New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs could face some competition soon. The Patriots' plan to acquire A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles is the worst-kept secret in football, and a deal is expected to come together in the month of June. When that happens, Doubs' role will shrink, but we still expect him to remain a fantasy-relevant option for years to come. Drake Maye took a huge step in Year 2, but he was missing a true No. 2 receiver. Doubs will fill that role behind Brown, and the Patriots' offense is successful enough to support two fantasy-relevant wide receivers. Doubs may not be Maye's first read all the time, but he'll also benefit from Brown pulling away opposing teams' No. 1 cornerbacks. All in all, we're not too worried about the Brown trade, and we still think that Doubs, who is signed through 2029, can be a top-36 fantasy receiver for several years to come. At the moment, he ranks as the WR58 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Gregory Soto a Must-Add Closer to Target on the Waiver Wire
Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Gregory Soto has emerged as his team's best relief option so far in 2026, pitching to a 2.13 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 31 strikeouts and six saves across 25 1/3 innings. The 31-year-old owns a 32% strikeout rate, and his 2.15 xERA and 2.55 FIP back up his strong results to open the year. Soto appears to have taken full control of the closer role in Pittsburgh, as he's logged five saves since the start of May. The veteran lefty also has prior experience as a closer, having racked up 48 saves over two seasons with the Detroit Tigers in 2021 and 2022. Given his performance so far and his clear runway to hold the ninth-inning role in Pittsburgh for the remainder of 2026, Soto profiles as a priority waiver wire target for fantasy managers across all league sizes.

Dynasty Managers Have to be Patient with Pat Bryant
Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant is a talented, young playmaker, but his rise to prominence could be on hold following the team's offseason moves. The Broncos entered this offseason with a receiver room featuring Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr., and Bryant, and they proceeded to make a huge splash by trading for Jaylen Waddle. Bryant projects as the No. 4 receiver in Denver, making it difficult for him to carve out a meaningful role in the near future. He has plenty of long-term upside, as he's just 23 years old, but the receiver room remains crowded with Sutton signed through 2029 and Waddle signed through 2028. Bryant's upside is capped for now, and he ranks as the overall WR91 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Does Jackson Holliday Still Carry Waiver Wire Appeal Despite Slow Start?
After suffering a fractured hamate bone in February and then suffering multiple setbacks during his rehab, Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday missed almost 50 games to start the 2026 season. Since making his return from the injured list on May 19, Holliday has hit .217/.296/.348 with one home run, four RBI, four runs scored, and three stolen bases across 27 plate appearances. While the 22-year-old hasn't exactly lit up the stat sheet yet, he's working his way back from an extended absence and should be given some time to settle in. It's also a good sign that Holliday is three-for-three on the bases after he was caught stealing 11 times in 28 attempts in 2025. Holliday may never fully live up to the hype he received as a prospect, but he still profiles as a useful compiler with the ability to provide average-or-better production across all five traditional rotisserie scoring categories. Particularly in deeper league formats, Holliday is worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Bryan Baker: Must-Add Closer Off the Waiver Wire
With roughly a third of the 2026 season in the books, Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Bryan Baker has emerged as his team's preferred option in the ninth inning. Across 24 appearances (22 1/3 innings) so far this year, Baker has pitched to a 2.42 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and 14 saves. The 31-year-old has been deployed in the ninth inning in five consecutive outings and has not entered a game before the eighth inning in 2026. Baker is also averaging a career-best 97.1 miles per hour on his fastball and owns a stellar 29.1% strikeout rate. The veteran reliever has had some issues with command (10.1% walk rate), and his 0.40 HR/9 is considerably better than the 1.70 HR/9 he posted in 2025. If his home run rate regresses a bit and he continues issuing free passes, Baker's ERA could rise over the course of the year. Still, he has a stranglehold on the closer role in Tampa Bay for the time being, making him a must-add off the waiver wire across all fantasy formats.

Will a Change of Scenery Re-Ignite Isiah Pacheco's Dynasty Value?
Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco finds himself in a new place for the 2026 season, and it could be exactly what he needs to get back on track as a fantasy-relevant running back in dynasty leagues. Pacheco spent his first four seasons with the Chiefs, finishing higher than RB37 just once. He was the RB15 in 2023, but injuries cost him 14 games over the last two years, and he wasn't particularly effective when healthy, either. The Chiefs used him as more of a primary running back, getting him involved on rushing and passing downs, while the Lions may use him as more of a short-yardage option to move the chains or get into the end zone. That could mean fewer touches and yards per carry, but more touchdowns and more of a clear-cut role. The new landing spot could vault Pacheco back into the top 36 fantasy running backs, making him a low-end RB3/flex on a weekly basis. As it stands, he is the RB55 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Ryan Waldschmidt Emerging as a High-End Speed Option on the Waiver Wire
Since being called up for his MLB debut in early May, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt has made an immediate impact at the big-league level. Across 70 plate appearances, the 23-year-old is hitting .302/.362/.413 with zero home runs, seven RBI, 10 runs scored, and five stolen bases. There are a few worrying signs in Waldschmidt's profile that point to potential regression. He's struck out in 30% of his plate appearances, and his batting average has been buoyed by an unsustainably high .452 batting average on balls in play. Still, Waldschmidt stole 29 bases in the minor leagues in Triple-A and has been aggressive on the basepaths early in his MLB career. He also consistently ran double-digit walk rates in the minors, which should help him get on base consistently and stay in the lineup even if his batting average tails off. Particularly for fantasy managers in need of speed, Waldschmidt is a viable waiver wire target.

Tanner Scott Remains a Priority Waiver Wire Target Despite Scattered Usage
After logging 23 saves in 2025, Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott began the 2026 season in a setup role. However, with Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz (elbow) currently on the 60-day injured list as he recovers from elbow surgery, Scott has re-emerged as a ninth-inning option for Los Angeles. The 31-year-old's overall production has been excellent as well, as he's pitched to a 1.19 ERA and 0.62 WHIP with 27 strikeouts and four saves across 22 2/3 innings. Scott has seen some usage in the seventh and eighth innings even since Diaz hit the injured list, so fantasy managers should not expect a full-on closer workload. Still, Scott is a dominant reliever and the most likely option in the Dodgers bullpen to log saves for the time being, making him a priority waiver wire target across all league formats.

Is Kaelen Culpepper the No. 1 Hitting Prospect to Stash?
Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper has continued to showcase high upside at Triple-A St. Paul and enters Week 10 as the primary hitting prospect to stash. Culpepper spent his 2025 season splitting time between High-A and Double-A, which earned him a ticket to the top cub to open the 2026 campaign. However, despite not taking a single Triple-A at-bat prior to the 2026 campaign, Culpepper has done more than hold his own, posting a .246/.349/.462 line with an .811 OPS over his first 48 contests. During this stretch, Culpepper has tallied nine doubles, gone deep 11 times, and swiped 12 bags. Currently, the Twins have lacked much consistent production in parts of their infield, especially at the shortstop position. Given how comfortable Culpepper has looked at the top club, fantasy managers should expect the Twins to call his name in the immediate future. His five-category potential makes him a must-stash candidate in all formats.

River Ryan on the Verge of MLB Promotion Following Eight-Strikeout Effort
Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan turned in another stellar effort at Triple-A Oklahoma City and is on the verge of joining the MLB roster. On Thursday evening, Ryan turned in his best showing of the campaign, tossing a season-high six frames with one run (unearned run) with only four hits, no walks, and a season-high eight punchouts. Since returning from the 7-day injured list, Ryan has made three starts and logged 15 innings with a 0.80 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, and a 19:1 K:BB. With both Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the injured list on the MLB roster, Ryan could provide some much-needed depth to this pitching staff. Given his current production and clear path to a role, Ryan should be viewed as the top pitching prospect to stash in all formats.

Charlie Condon Sees Stash Value Soar During Nine-Game Hitting Streak
Colorado Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon has seen his stash upside soar over the past week amid his incredible performance at the plate. Over his last nine games, Condon has tallied at least one hit in all these games while carrying an overall .333/.436/.667 line with a 1.103 OPS. During this nine-game stretch, the former George standout has hit five doubles and gone deep twice. This is worth noting as Condon was in the midst of a lengthy power drought at Triple-A, as he posted a modest .592 OPS with no long balls over his last 26 games prior to this skid. Overall, Condon sits with a solid .251/.384/.427 line through his first 45 games at the top club. While the team's current first baseman, TJ Rumfield, avoided a potentially serious injury earlier in the week, Condon could still find an easy path to joining the roster, as the team lacks many proven hitters. Given his power upside and recent surge, Condon is a top stash target in all 12-team leagues ahead of Week 10.

Cole Carrigg Remains Elite Stash Target for Stolen Base Upside
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg remains a priority stash target for managers needing stolen-base production. Carrigg was in the mix to potentially break camp with the MLB roster but was assigned to Triple-A to begin the 2026 regular season. However, during his first stint with the top club, the former 65th overall pick has done more than hold his own and appears to be the top option for those needing a boost in stolen bases. Through his first 50 games with Albuquerque, Carrigg has swiped an eye-catching 27 bags while holding a .345/.408/.530 line. He has gone deep five times while holding a 34:20 K:BB. While he is not the top source for power, Carrigg could immediately emerge as a must-start option in standard category leagues given his raw speed. With Colorado lacking many options in their outfield and Mickey Moniak on the injured list, Carrigg could be in the mix to debut much sooner than previously anticipated.

Is Braden Montgomery Still Worth Stashing Amid Triple-A Skid?
Chicago White Sox top hitting prospect Braden Montgomery has hit a bit of a skid at the top club in the minor leagues over the past week. After putting together a dominant start to his time at Triple-A, the former first-round pick has gone 0-for-13 over his last five games while holding a 7:3 K:BB. However, prior to this, Montgomery carried a much higher .283/.348/.467 slash line with five doubles, two home runs, and one stolen base over his first taste of Triple-A earlier in May. Montgomery began the regular season with Double-A, but needed only another 27 gams at that level to prove he was ready to join the top ranks. If Montgomery can snap out of this skid in the immediate future, the young slugger should firmly be back on the stash radar, given Chicago's lack of depth in the outfield.

Rashid Shaheed an Underpriced Dynasty Buy Heading into First Full Season with Seattle
Following a mid-season trade from the Saints, Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed saw most of his impact in Seattle come on explosive special teams plays, while he was limited to only 15 receptions for 188 yards in his first nine games with the team. Prior to the trade, Shaheed's 17-game pace with New Orleans was for 943 yards on 83 catches, and in signing him to a three-year, $51 million deal this offseason, the belief in Seattle appears to be that he can return to similar form with a full year in the system. The Seahawks had two or fewer receivers on the field at one of the league's highest rates in 2025, so the spot opposite Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba can be incredibly fruitful for fantasy. Shaheed's primary competition for the job is a soon-to-be-33-year-old Cooper Kupp and 2025 fifth-round pick Tory Horton, who showed promise as a rookie but saw his season ended by a lingering shin injury after only eight games. Shaheed is RotoBaller's dynasty WR83, but with long-term security within one of the league's most well-run organizations and a high-value fantasy role seemingly his to win, he could be viewed as one of the most underpriced buy candidates heading into 2026.

Kade Anderson Remains Elite Stash Target Amid Incredible Start to Professional Career
Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson continues to hold must-stash value heading into Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season. Since joining the Mariners with the third overall pick in last year's MLB Draft, the former LSU standout has looked more than comfortable in the minor leagues. The Mariners opted to send the left-hander to Double-A to make his professional debut, and he has flashed incredible potential, striking out 58 hitters over his first 38 2/3 innings. During this stretch, Anderson has posted a 1.63 ERA with a 0.80 WHIP and has allowed just seven total free passes. Removing his lone five-run outlier showing, Anderson would carry a 0.52 ERA over the first two months of the season. Even though there is no clear spot in the rotation for the left-hander, he remains on the verge of a call-up and may not need to wait long if the MLB roster needs additional depth.

Kyle Finnegan a Good Short-Term Source for Saves?
Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Kyle Finnegan should have a chance to be a good source of save opportunities in the short-term, with 38-year-old Kenley Jansen (groin) landing on the injured list on Thursday with a lower-body injury. Although Finnegan's 1.75 ERA looks good on the surface, his ERA estimators all support that he has been very lucky, as evidenced by his 4.38 xERA, 5.13 FIP, and 5.99 SIERA. The discrepancy between his underlying data and surface stats is too wide to assume that regression isn't coming. He also owns a 1.56 WHIP, which is not good, and he is walking batters at a 17.6 percent clip with a 13.9 percent strikeout rate. All that to say, he does have a lot of closing experience with 113 career saves over seven MLB seasons, and all fantasy managers need from him is to lock down those saves in the ninth inning to get a point in that category. During a season where saves have been hard to come by, fantasy managers in formats where they are desperate for saves will want to take a look at Finnegan, only while Jansen is sidelined.

Is Najee Harris the Top Free Agent Back Left on the Market?
Free agent running back Najee Harris is a name to monitor as teams around the league gather for organized practices and get their first real looks at the rosters they've assembled throughout the offseason. Should injury or legal situation create an unexpected running back need, Harris is arguably the most intriguing option left on the market despite his 2025 season ending after only 15 carries with a ruptured Achilles. Before landing with the Chargers, he had volumed his way to 1,000 rushing yards in each of his four seasons in Pittsburgh, though efficiency was never his calling card even prior to the injury. At 28 years old, any return to action will likely come in a committee role, but in the right situation, he could still find enough fantasy relevance to justify a roster spot in deep dynasty leagues. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB82, Harris is potentially sitting on waiver wires, and while he may not find a new home until well into training camp, he's worth a low-stakes claim wherever available while his perceived value is still at its floor.

Is Jared Jones a Must-Add off the Waiver-Wire Ahead of his Season Debut?
Jared Jones (elbow), a 24-year-old former second-round pick in 2024 for the Pittsburgh Pirates, will make his season debut Friday at home against the Minnesota Twins, which will be Jones' first start at the big-league level since he underwent UCL surgery last May. Through five rehab starts this season, Jones has dominated the MiLB with a 2.89 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 18 2/3 innings pitched. He also had an outstanding 32.9 percent strikeout rate and a 15.5 percent SwStr rate. Jones has demonstrated elite bat-missing upside in the past. During his first turn with the Pirates back in 2024, he started 22 games and posted a 4.14 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 132 strikeouts over 121 2/3 innings. His arsenal is led by an elite four-seamer that averages 97.3 mph and a great slider that generated a 37.3 percent whiff rate in 2024. Jones, if available on your waiver wire, is a must-add starting pitcher in leagues of 12 teams or more, simply based on his swing and miss upside alone. He has the ability to be a strong contributor in all the important starting pitcher categories.

Jimmy Horn Jr. A Dynasty Non-Factor After Quiet Rookie Season
As a sixth-round rookie in 2025, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. failed to make an impact while playing in one of the more wide-open receiver rooms in the league, finishing the year with 108 yards and no scores on 11 receptions. Heading into 2026, the Panthers made minimal additions to a room that falls off quickly behind 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan, signing John Metchie III in free agency and spending a third-round pick on Chris Brazzell II, but at only 174 pounds, Horn could still struggle to find the field in an offense that ran the ball at an above-average rate in 2025. With the sturdier Jalen Coker returning from injury in Week 7 and reclaiming primary slot responsibilities, Horn did not top a 31% snap share in any game as a rookie, and there's little reason to believe the diminutive wideout will see a substantial uptick in year two. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR143, he is not a player who needs to be rostered in even the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed closer Paul Sewald has converted on 14 of his 15 save opportunities this season and owns a 3.80 ERA and 0.75 WHIP with 24 strikeouts and 21 1/3 innings pitched. The 14 saves on the season are tied for third in MLB behind Cade Smith and Mason Miller, and the 15 opportunities are tied for fifth. While Sewald's velocity isn't elite (91.4 mph average fastball velocity), he has still demonstrated solid control and high strikeout upside. In fact, hitters are hitting .146 of his four-seamer, and he has a solid 21.4 percent whiff rate on his fastball, even though the velocity isn't there. During a season where the closer situation has been difficult to navigate because of injuries and some of the top arms underperforming, Sewald continues to be one of the top options for saves, and is a must-add if available on the waiver wire.

Former Pro Bowler Nick Chubb No Longer a Player Worth Holding in Dynasty Leagues
Since tearing his ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a devastating 2023 knee injury, veteran running back Nick Chubb has been unable to recapture the form that had made him a fantasy RB1 every year from 2019 to 2022, and as teams around the league gather for organized practices, he remains unsigned. His 15 games with the Texans in 2025 were the most since the injury, but he managed only 506 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and spent most of the season behind 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks. Now north of 30, any deal Chubb signs will likely be as a depth piece in an existing committee, as his bell cow days are comfortably behind him. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB100, he is no longer a player who needs to be rostered, even if he signs with a team before training camp.

Hunter Greene Holds Elite Stash Value Ahead of Impending Return
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) threw a bullpen on Tuesday, which was the first time throwing off the mound since he underwent elbow surgery in mid-March to remove bone chips from his right elbow. This was a positive first step in his eventual return to the mound, albeit still multiple weeks away, but an elite arm worth stashing on your IL spot if you have it available. Greene possesses elite upside, so if your roster configuration can afford to grab him now, he provides league-winner upside down the stretch, especially for teams comfortably at the top of their standings that can afford to roster a high-upside player and one less bench spot. Entering the 2026 season, Greene was a consensus top-20 starting pitcher and is coming off back-to-back seasons with a sub-3 ERA and north of 27.7 percent strikeout rate. Greene, who is 26 years old, should be entering his prime, but has been repeatedly slowed by injuries throughout his career. He is one of the most electric arms in the game when healthy. Once he returns, he will immediately be slotted at the top of the Reds' rotation to go along with young stars Chase Burns and Nick Lodolo.

Over the past month, Bazzana has slashed .302/.407/.458 with three home runs, 12 runs scored, 11 RBI, and seven stolen bases. Additionally, he has been batting leadoff against right-handed pitchers of late with the slumping Steven Kwan, which only should improve what he is already showcasing. He is displaying his upside by producing across all major fantasy categories. Bazzana, who is 23 years old and a former No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Bazzana, if available on your waiver wire, should be picked up, as he is approaching must-start territory.

Is Greg Dulcich the No. 1 Target in Miami?
Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich appears to have developed an early connection with starting quarterback Malik Willis, with the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly noting that the fifth-year tight end appears to be the primary target in the early stages of Miami's organized team activities. Kelly also remarked on a growing chemistry between Willis and third-year slot receiver Malik Washington. With organized practices having just begun, it's important to note that with a new coaching staff and overhauled roster, the Dolphins have not come close to fully installing their 2026 offense, so it's still early to declare any semblance of pecking order in Miami. That said, the Dolphins' target competition is wide open, with no player on the roster outside of running back De'Von Achane having ever topped 49 receptions in a season. If Dulcich can continue to develop a rapport with Willis, the 2022 third-round pick has a realistic chance to vastly exceed his current ranking of RotoBaller's TE40 for 2026.

Jalen Williams Limited in Game 6 Return
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams produced one point and one assist in Thursday's 118-91 Game 6 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. He went 0-for-1 from the field and 1-for-2 at the line in only 10 minutes, returning after missing the previous three games with a hamstring strain. Williams also came off the bench for the first time since his rookie season, so this looked more like a controlled reintroduction than a normal workload. He averaged 17.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists during the regular season, but his Game 7 value depends heavily on whether Oklahoma City is ready to loosen his role.
