Nicholas Singleton Could Be the Running Back of the Future in Tennessee
After a disappointing senior season at Penn State in 2025, running back Nicholas Singleton fell all the way to the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft before being selected by the Tennessee Titans. Across 12 games with the Nittany Lions last year, Singleton recorded just 768 scrimmage yards on 147 touches. Still, the 22-year-old scored 14 touchdowns, and he finished his collegiate career with an impressive 54 scores across 53 games. Singleton may struggle to see playing time in Tennessee as a rookie with veteran backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears both ahead of him on the depth chart. However, both Pollard and Spears are entering the final years of their current contracts in 2026. If Singleton impresses his coaches this season, he could finish the year as the clear running back of the future for the Titans. Dynasty managers should temper their short-term expectations, but Singleton is still worth taking a shot on for his long-term upside in Tennessee.

Is Bryce Lance Currently Undervalued by Dynasty Managers?
A fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bryce Lance could have a chance to contribute to his new team immediately as a rookie. As a senior at North Dakota State in 2025, Lance showed off his big-play ability by hauling in 51 receptions for 1,079 yards and eight touchdowns while rushing for 92 yards and an additional score on four carries. Lance also turned heads at the Draft Combine by running a 4.34-second 40-yard dash. Given the presence of wideouts Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson, as well as tight end Juwan Johnson in New Orleans, Lance may have a tough time carving out a high-volume role in the Saints' passing game. However, he could slide into the team's downfield role as a replacement for former Saints wideout Rashid Shaheed, who recorded 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns across nine games before New Orleans traded him to the Seattle Seahawks at the 2025 trade deadline. In dynasty formats, Lance's upside may currently be undervalued heading into 2026.

Mike Washington Jr. Carries Dynasty Sleeper Appeal Entering 2026
After recording 1,296 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns on 195 touches across 12 games at the University of Arkansas in 2025, running back Mike Washington Jr. was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Even after a relatively disappointing rookie season, 2025 number six overall pick Ashton Jeanty remains firmly atop the Raiders running back depth chart going into 2026. However, Washington Jr. could be the favorite for the RB2 role in a backfield that also contains Dylan Laube, Chris Collier, and Roman Hemby. Jeanty has the skill set of a three-down workhorse and logged 321 touches across 17 games in 2025, so there may not end up being much fantasy-relevant playing time behind him in Las Vegas. At the same time, Jeanty averaged a highly inefficient 3.7 yards per carry last season, and the Raiders could be looking to keep him fresher by spreading out their backfield touches a bit more. Washington Jr. could be a solid buy-low target for dynasty managers heading into 2026, given the opportunity available to him in Las Vegas.

Is Adonai Mitchell Still Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?
The New York Jets provided wide receiver Adonai Mitchell with a much-needed change of scenery midway through the 2025 season by acquiring him from the Indianapolis Colts as part of the return package for cornerback Sauce Gardner. After recording just nine receptions across eight games with the Colts, Mitchell hauled in 24 catches for 301 yards and two touchdowns across eight games with the Jets. Mitchell flashed big-play upside with New York, but he also showcased the inconsistency that got him run out of town in Indianapolis. The 23-year-old successfully pulled in just 24 of 58 targets (41% catch rate) with the Jets and owns a 15.2% drop rate across two NFL seasons. Mitchell's role in New York may also be shrinking heading into 2026, as the team will get back star wideout Garrett Wilson from a knee injury and used first-round picks on wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. and tight end Kenyon Sadiq this past April. Mitchell maintains some dynasty upside, but the prospect pedigree that made him a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft is fading quickly.

Tony Pollard's Dynasty Stock Rising in Improving Tennessee Offense?
Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 275 touches. The 29-year-old has quietly been one of the more consistent rushers in the NFL in recent years, logging four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played and 1,000 rushing yards. However, the questionable offensive environment around Pollard in Tennessee has limited his upside, particularly in terms of scoring touchdowns. Across 33 career games with the Titans, Pollard has found pay dirt just 10 times. Entering 2026, Pollard once again projects to lead a backfield split with fellow Titans back Tyjae Spears. Spears has handled the majority of the team's receiving work when both backs are healthy, which is another constraint on Pollard's production ceiling. Still, Pollard has a projectable production floor, and the Titans' offense could be on its way up in quarterback Cameron Ward's second NFL season. In dynasty formats, Pollard has value as a high-floor, win-now flex option.

Could Franklin Arias Make His MLB Debut in 2026?
Though Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias went 0-for-4 on Sunday, he's still riding a 12-game on-base streak after getting hit by a pitch in the game, and he has now reached base safely in 37 of 41 games at Double-A Portland. The 20-year-old's 1.026 OPS is second-best in the Eastern League, second only to Jonah Cox, who was recently promoted straight to the majors by the Giants. Hitting .331 with a low 12.3 percent strikeout rate, the 5-foot-11 Venezuelan seems destined for Triple-A in the near future, and with a good showing there, he could be in the mix for a debut in the majors later this season. Given his age (Cox is four years older than Arias), a Cox-like promotion straight to the majors is unlikely, but with Trevor Story (hernia) out for several more weeks at a minimum, it wouldn't be totally out of the question with how good Arias has looked. Fantasy managers should keep the youngster on their radar, as he could quickly become a stash target.

Cole Carrigg Remains a Must-Stash for Stolen-Base Upside
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has cooled off somewhat over his last five games, going 3-for-18 (.167) over that stretch, but two of his three hits went for extra bases (doubles), he continued to get on base with a 4:5 BB:K, and stole three bases during that time. For the season, the Rockies' sixth-ranked prospect is slashing an impressive .345/.412/.532 at Triple-A Albuquerque, with five home runs and 29 steals. A strikeout rate of just 14.8 percent and a 9.6 percent walk rate show a disciplined approach, and he should be a strong consideration for a major league debut in the coming weeks. The switch-hitter's most appealing attribute is his speed, having stolen 99 bags between 2024 and 2025, but with 32 home runs combined in those two seasons, there is certainly some pop in his bat as well, and he is a career .283 hitter in the minors, so the 6-foot-2 slugger has a fantasy-friendly skillset. Given his proximity to the majors, Carrigg should be considered one of the top prospect hitters to stash in fantasy leagues, especially for managers searching for steals.

Coleman Crow Holding His Own in MLB Debut, Worth an Add in Deeper Leagues?
Milwaukee Brewers rookie right-hander Coleman Crow made his MLB debut earlier this season and has shown real promise in limited action. The 25-year-old prospect has a 3.14 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 14 1/3 innings in three big-league starts, striking out eight while walking just three hitters. After performing well at Triple-A Nashville earlier this season, Crow has earned a look in Milwaukee's rotation and has the stuff to stick around if he continues to command his pitches. Crow was initally called up to replace Logan Henderson, who was shifted to the 15-day injured list with a back injury. He's still widely available in most leagues and represents a high-upside speculative add for managers in need of pitching. If you have the roster space in deeper leagues or are looking for a young arm with upside, Crow is worth a flier as he should remain in the Brewers rotation for the time being.

Is Thomas White a Stash Option Without Clear Timetable for Return?
Miami Marlins pitching prospect Thomas White (shoulder) was placed on the 7-day injured list on May 20 (retroactive to May 19), but has yet to come off the IL and is not listed as the probable starter for any of Triple-A Jacksonville's upcoming games, so a return timetable remains unclear. Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix stated last week that the southpaw was dealing with a "bit of shoulder thing" and that it was not something "particularly concerning," but there has been no update to his status since then. Regardless, assuming it is indeed a minor issue, the team's top-ranked prospect might need a short rehab assignment before rejoining Jacksonville, so a mid-to-late June return seems like the most optimistic scenario for the lefty. The 6-foot-5 hurler was flashing strong strikeout potential before the injury, with a 30.9 percent K% through five Triple-A starts, but the team will likely want to see some improved command upon return from the IL, as he'd walked 15 batters and hit two batters in 18 2/3 innings pitched. With his strikeout upside, though, and the likelihood of a debut by midseason, the 21-year-old will likely be a top pitcher to stash once he returns to the mound in some capacity.

Kirby Yates Emerging as Priority Closer to Roster in Angels Bullpen?
Los Angeles Angels veteran closer Kirby Yates is starting to look like a sneaky waiver wire priority for managers chasing saves. The 39-year-old has a track record of closing (98 career saves entering 2026) and has already picked up his 99th save in limited action this season. With Robert Stephenson and Ben Joyce dealing with injuries early on, Yates has a clear path to high-leverage work and save chances under manager Kurt Suzuki, who has been vocal about his trust in the veteran. The right-hander opened the season on the shelf with a knee injury, which allowed Ryan Zeferjahn and Jordan Romano (who was designated for assignment in late April) to operate as the primary ninth-inning options. With limited competition in this current bullpen, Yates has a clear path to quickly claim this role. During the 2024 season, Yates showed promise in the closer role for the Rangers, tallying 33 saves with a 1.17 ERA. Even though he has endured some growing pains since returning from injury (4.32 ERA over 8 1/3 frames), his high-leverage experience gives him the edge to emerge as the ninth-inning option in this bullpen.

Walker Jenkins Nearing Rehab Assignment, Worth Stashing Ahead of Return?
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) is making progress in his return from a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder as he's reportedly begun to take swings off a hitting machine and could be ready to start a rehab assignment next week, according to Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll. The Twins' top-ranked prospect hasn't played in a game since May 3, but had begun to hit his stride at the plate at Triple-A St. Paul, going 9-for-21 (.429) with four doubles, a home run, a 6:4 BB:K, and two steals during a six-game hit streak before hitting the injured list. For the season, the former fifth-overall draft pick is slashing .256/.396/.389 with two home runs, five steals, and more walks (19) than strikeouts (18). If the 21-year-old can get back on track once he returns to the St. Paul lineup, a major league debut could happen by August, so the 6-foot-3 slugger could become a top hitter to stash in the weeks ahead.

Spencer Horwitz Swinging a Hot Bat, Entering Must-Add Territory?
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz is putting together a productive season and remains a strong waiver wire target for managers needing corner infield help. The 28-year-old is hitting .289 with a .389 OBP and .858 OPS in 173 at-bats, showing excellent plate discipline with a low strikeout rate and strong walk rate. He's been especially hot in May, hitting safely in 17 of his last 21 games at one point, and has already chipped in seven home runs on the season. Horwitz has earned an everyday role in the Pittsburgh lineup, playing first base and typically batting leadoff against right-handed pitching. He's still available in a large percentage of leagues and offers a nice blend of average, on-base skills, and emerging power. If you're looking for a steady, high-floor option at corner infield, Horwitz is worth picking up.

Charlie Condon Riding 12-Game Hitting Streak, MLB Debut Imminent?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's 31-game homerless stretch feels like a distant memory after the week and a half that he's had for Triple-A Albuquerque, blasting four home runs in his last seven games, including a walk-off winner in his latest contest. The power surge is part of a longer 12-game hit streak during which time the Rockies' second-ranked prospect has gone 16-for-45 (.356), which includes not only those four home runs, but also seven doubles, boosting his season-long slugging percentage to .471 with eight total home runs and a .262 batting average. A strong 15.1 percent walk rate has also buoyed a robust .391 on-base percentage. A high strikeout rate may limit the 23-year-old's batting average whenever he gets to the majors, but the power should play well at Coors Field, and a debut there could happen in the coming weeks. The 6-foot-5 power hitter is still a solid stash option in deeper leagues, especially for managers in search of home runs.

Gavin Sheets Worth an Add for Power Upside
San Diego Padres first baseman/outfielder Gavin Sheets is putting together a very productive season and could be a worthwhile waiver wire pickup for managers needing corner infield or outfield help. In just 163 at-bats, the lefty has already hit nine home runs with 23 RBI and is posting a strong .807 OPS. He's been very effective against right-handed pitching, posting a .879 OPS with an elite .529 SLG. While his playing time can be inconsistent as a platoon bat, when he's in the lineup, he's been producing at a high level. Under the hood, Sheets is impacting the ball quite hard, as evidenced by his 71st percentile 45.5% hard-hit rate and 82nd percentile 74.8 mph average bat speed. Sheets is still widely available in most leagues, sitting at just 23% rostered on Yahoo, and offers a nice combination of power and on-base skills. If you're looking for a depth outfielder or corner infielder with above-average power, he's worth a look.

Jake Burger Emerging as Priority Pickup for Power Upside
Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger is starting to look like a legit waiver wire target for managers needing corner infield help. The 30-year-old has already mashed 10 home runs with 37 RBI in just 215 at-bats, and he's shown real signs of a resurgence this year. After a rough April, Burger has been much better in May, with a .284 average, improved plate discipline, and a surging pull rate that has led to more hard contact and higher home run totals. He's been hitting in the middle of a decent Rangers lineup and continues to post elite exit velocities. He's still only rostered in 30% of Yahoo leagues in most formats, which feels way low for a guy with this kind of raw power. If you're thin at 1B or looking for some cheap pop down the stretch, Burger is a strong add right now as he has begun to find his footing.

Braden Montgomery Breaks Out of Slump, Remains Firmly on Stash Radar
Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery broke out of a recent slump with a strong four-game stretch at Triple-A Charlotte that saw him go 8-for-16 (.500) with two doubles, a home run, four RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base. Perhaps most impressive of all was that the switch-hitter did not strike out once in those four games, his longest stretch of the season without a strikeout, while also drawing three walks. Chicago's second-ranked prospect is performing admirably since earning a promotion to Triple-A, hitting .281 with seven doubles and three home runs in 23 games for the Knights, getting on base at a .366 clip thanks to a solid 10.9 walk rate, and he's also swiped two bags. At this rate, the former first-rounder looks poised for a midseason call-up to the majors, and with a blend of contact, power, and speed, the 23-year-old makes for a stashworthy fantasy asset in deeper leagues.

Josh Hader Set to Return from Injured List on Tuesday
Houston Astros closer Josh Hader (biceps) is being activated off the injured list on Tuesday, manager Joe Espada confirmed. Hader had been sidelined since before Opening Day with left biceps tendinitis (he also dealt with shoulder issues late last season). He's progressed through his rehab without setbacks and is now ready to rejoin the big-league bullpen. While the Astros are expected to be cautious with his workload in the early going, Hader should quickly settle back into his role as the primary closer. For fantasy managers, this is a significant boost in saves leagues, especially if you've been streaming or holding onto a committee. Keep an eye on his first few appearances to see how the Astros deploy him, as they may slightly monitor his usage. With Hader set to return, fantasy managers should expect Bryan King, Enyel De Los Santos, and Bryan Abreu to operate as the primary setup options.

Chris Brazzell II a Year 1 Breakout Candidate in Carolina?
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Chris Brazzell II could have a path to immediate production during his rookie season, making him an intriguing pick in 2026 rookie drafts. The third-round pick is a flashy deep threat who uses his speed and acceleration to win matchups against defenders. His ability to get open could help him get on the field early in the season, especially in a wide receiver room where the No. 2 role is up for grabs. Tetairoa McMillan is the clear alpha receiver here, but Brazzell could push to earn more snaps over players like Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette. If that happens, he'll be one of the biggest steals of 2026 fantasy football drafts. At the moment, he projects as an early-to-mid second-round pick in rookie drafts, and he ranks as the WR67 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Francisco Alvarez Starting a Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
The New York Mets plan to have catcher Francisco Alvarez (knee) start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse, manager Carlos Mendoza told Andrew Tredinnick of The North Jersey Bergen Record. Alvarez has been making good progress since having surgery to fix the meniscus in his right knee just several weeks ago. Initially, the Mets estimated that he would be out for around eight weeks. They will most likely slow-play Alvarez in the minors, but barring a setback, it looks like he's going to beat his initial timetable by quite a bit. Until he returns, the Mets will continue to roll with veteran Luis Torrens as their primary backstop, with Hayden Senger backing him up. Alvarez was hitting .241/.317/.392 with a .710 OPS, four home runs, 10 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 112 at-bats at the time of his knee injury in mid-May. The oft-injured Venezuelan catcher has provided above-average pop in the past, but his lengthy injury history makes him hard to trust in single-catcher fantasy leagues. Alvarez is currently rostered in only 15% of Yahoo leagues.

Corey Seager Starting Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (back) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, according to the team. He is scheduled to bat second and play shortstop for the Rough Riders on Tuesday. Seager is one step closer to returning from inflammation in his lower back that has kept him out since May 13. But if he doesn't have a setback with his back this week, he could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list later this week or the weekend. Ezequiel Duran has been filling in nicely at the 6 for the Rangers with Seager sidelined, and he'll go back to more of a super-utility role for the team once Seager is back on the active roster. Seager was hitting a disappointing .179 (28-for-156) to begin the 2026 season before injuring his back, but he also had seven home runs, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored, and a steal. Despite durability concerns in his early-30s, Seager is a must-roster fantasy SS. He's only available in 10% of Yahoo leagues.

Gleyber Torres Returning From Injured List on Tuesday
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and return to the starting lineup for the contest against the Tampa Bay Rays and left-hander Steven Matz, manager A.J. Hinch told MLB Network Radio. The Tigers are ready to bring Torres back after he played in just two minor-league rehab games. The 29-year-old has been out since early May due to a strained left oblique, but now that he's back, he'll return to starting duties at the keystone in Motown, pushing Hao-Yu Lee and Zach McKinstry to utility roles. Lee could end up being sent to Triple-A Toledo. Torres was hitting .259/.389/.328 with a .716 OPS, only two home runs, 11 RBI, and 18 runs scored in 116 at-bats this year at the time of his oblique injury. He offers very modest power and speed as middle-infield depth in deep-mixed fantasy leagues. Torres is mostly valuable for his plate discipline, contact-oriented approach, and on-base skills.

Ja'Kobi Lane a Great Fit for Ravens, Potential Steal in Rookie Drafts
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane was a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he has the potential to make an impact on offense from Day 1. The Ravens have long been seeking another reliable receiver to pair with Zay Flowers, but none of Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, or LaJohntay Wester have lived up to the hype so far. Lane could be the answer for the Ravens, and we could possibly even see him start alongside Flowers in Week 1. He's the first receiver drafted by the Ravens' new coaching staff, led by head coach Jesse Minter and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, so we already know the staff thinks highly of him. Whether Lane will consistently receive catchable targets from Lamar Jackson remains unclear, but we're bullish on the possibility of the Baltimore offense being able to support two fantasy-relevant wide receivers going forward. Even if Lane doesn't end up having a huge role from Day 1, he should be a key piece of their long-term plans, making him an intriguing target in rookie drafts. He projects as an early third-round pick in 2026 rookie drafts, and he's the WR77 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Josh Jacobs Back at Practice on Tuesday
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (personal) returned to practice on Tuesday following his release from jail. Jacobs, who was arrested on five charges and booked into the Brown County Jail last week, could still face league discipline even though he was released from jail. The police report said that Jacobs was charged with battery, criminal damage of property, disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. The NFL will presumably continue to investigate the scenario before deciding on a potential suspension. In the meantime, Jacobs will continue to participate in practices leading up to training camp and the preseason. He fell short of 1,000 rushing yards last season, but he still managed to score 14 touchdowns and finish as the overall RB13 in PPR leagues. If he avoids a suspension, he'll enter 2026 as a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2. If he misses time, MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks would be in line to co-lead the backfield.

Crowded Tight End Room Impacting Max Klare's Dynasty Stock?
Los Angeles Rams tight end Max Klare has an intriguing dynasty outlook as a second-round pick, but a crowded position room adds an extra wrinkle to his fantasy stock. The Rams spent a second-round pick on a tight end for the second year in a row, pairing Klare with Terrance Ferguson (as well as veterans Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson). The Rams are a pass-heavy offense, which is encouraging, but there's no denying that there is still plenty of competition for targets. In addition to the four tight ends, Matthew Stafford will be busy throwing to Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, and to a lesser extent, Konata Mumpfield and CJ Daniels. Managers find themselves in a predicament when trying to forecast Klare's role. On one hand, we know the coaching staff wants to get him involved, since they spent a 2026 second-round pick on him. On the other hand, as a rookie, he's at a disadvantage relative to the other tight ends who have more experience in the Rams' system. Managers will likely have to be patient, as Klare has the potential to be the Rams' No. 1 tight end down the road, but he'll presumably struggle to achieve weekly fantasy relevance in 2026. For what it's worth, the experts are equally intrigued by his long-term outlook. He ranks as RotoBaller's TE20 in the latest dynasty rankings, and he projects as a late third-round pick in most 2026 rookie drafts.

Romeo Doubs Still a Solid Dynasty Option in New England?
New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs faces added competition after the team traded for A.J. Brown on Monday. While the trade will undoubtedly impact Doubs' role on offense, he could still have fantasy relevance in a Patriots offense that is trending upward. The Patriots invested $68 million in Doubs, so we expect to see him have a sizable role going forward. Brown will be Drake Maye's No. 1 target, but this offense has been craving wide receiver upgrades, and Doubs can be a productive No. 2. That's probably what he's best suited for, anyway. He consistently finished with between 600 and 725 yards in each of his last three years with the Packers, ranking as a low-end WR3/flex option week after week. We're intrigued that the addition of Brown will draw opposing defense's top cornerbacks away from Doubs, giving him a more favorable matchup in most games. He might be Maye's second read, but he'll still be superior to players like Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, and DeMario Douglas in fantasy football. Signed through 2029, Doubs should continue to be viewed as a fringe top-36 fantasy receiver in dynasty leagues. There's no reason to panic sell here. In fact, if the market overreacts to the Brown trade, Doubs could actually have some value as a buy-low receiver.

Alec Bohm Re-Emerging as a Quality Waiver-Wire Target After Strong May
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is off to a rough start to the 2026 season, hitting .210/.271/.335 with six home runs, 24 RBI, and 17 runs scored across 221 plate appearances. However, the 29-year-old's overall line is dragged down by a brutal showing in March and April, when he hit .151 with a .426 OPS across 119 plate appearances. Bohm's production bounced back to his established norms in May, as he slashed .277/.333/.439 with five home runs, 11 RBI, and 11 runs scored across 102 plate appearances last month. With a 6.4% career barrel rate and 18 stolen bases across 774 career MLB games, Bohm offers limited power and speed upside for fantasy managers. Still, Bohm remains a fixture in the Phillies' everyday lineup, and he's hit no lower than fifth in the batting order since May 13. As long as his early-season struggles are behind him, Bohm should provide batting average and quality counting stats for fantasy managers the rest of the way in 2026. In deeper leagues, Bohm's May bounce-back makes him a worthy waiver wire target despite his ugly overall slash line.

Is Foster Griffin Still Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire Amidst Recent Struggles?
Across 67 innings (12 starts) so far in 2026, Washington Nationals starting pitcher Foster Griffin has recorded a 6-2 record with a 3.76 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 65 strikeouts. The 30-year-old has cooled off a bit in recent weeks after a red-hot start to the season, allowing 17 earned runs over his last 20 1/3 innings (four starts). The long ball has been an issue for Griffin, as he currently owns a 1.75 HR/9. Still, Griffin has limited opponents to a 37.8% hard-hit rate and owns a quality 15.7% K-BB rate. There's also reason to think he's been a bit unlucky to give up homers as often as he has, as his 18.1% home run to fly ball rate is well above league average. Griffin may not offer crazy upside, but he remains a solid starting pitcher streamer for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

Caleb Kilian Remains a Strong Source of Saves in Standard Leagues
San Francisco Giants reliever Caleb Kilian had a rough outing on Friday in Colorado against the Rockies, allowing two homers and five earned runs across two-thirds of an inning. However, even with the recent blow-up, Kilian's overall numbers for the season are strong. Across 26 innings (24 games), the 29-year-old has pitched to a 3.86 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and three saves. Kilian's average fastball velocity currently sits at 96.9 miles per hour, and he's struck out 26.9% of the batters he's faced. The Giants have utilized multiple relievers in the ninth inning this season, so fantasy managers should not expect Kilian to see every San Francisco save opportunity. Still, the hard-throwing right-hander has emerged as a quality source of both saves and strikeouts for deep-league fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

Gage Jump Remains a Worthy Waiver-Wire Target Due to Strikeout Upside
Athletics pitching prospect Gage Jump made his MLB debut last Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners, allowing nine hits and four earned runs while striking out five across five innings of work. While the 23-year-old's first start in the majors was a bit of a struggle, he remains a potentially intriguing starting pitching option for fantasy managers. Across 38 innings (nine starts) with Triple-A Las Vegas before his promotion, Jump pitched to a 4.50 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 56 strikeouts. Particularly given that he will be making his home starts in the hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park, Jump may not provide much value in the ERA and WHIP categories for fantasy managers. However, the young lefty carries significant strikeout upside after posting strikeout rates of 33.1% and 28.4% in the minors in 2026 and 2025, respectively. Fantasy managers in need of whiffs may want to consider targeting Jump on the waiver wire ahead of a potential breakout.

Bryce Miller a Priority Waiver-Wire Target
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller had his 2026 season delayed by an oblique strain that he suffered in spring training. However, the 27-year-old has been effective since returning in mid-May, recording a 1-0 record with a 1.71 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts across 21 innings (four games). While Miller made one appearance as a reliever as Seattle manages its impressive rotation depth, he's pitched at least five innings in all four of his outings. The young right-hander owns an impressive 21.5% K-BB rate that is buoyed by his elite 3.8% walk rate. After posting a 5.68 ERA across 90 1/3 innings in 2025, Miller appears to be back to the form he displayed in 2024, when he logged a 2.94 ERA across 180 1/3 innings. In any leagues where he's not already rostered, Miller should be a priority waiver wire target with upside for fantasy managers.
