ESPN's Rich Cimini writes that one person close to the situation doubts that the New York Jets will be interested in former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the NFL supplemental draft. The source suggested that the Jets "don't want to deal with it." Sorsby is a talented (some suggest he's a first-round talent) but controversial prospect because he admitted to gambling during his time in college. If the NFL approves Sorsby's application to enter the NFL's supplemental draft, media speculation suggests it would take a second-round pick to secure him. The team that is awarded the player forfeits its pick in the equivalent of next year's NFL draft. Cimini writes that it would be "an absolute coup" if the Jets didn't have to sacrifice any of their three first-round picks in next year's draft, but it remains to be seen if they're willing to take on the Sorsby risk. Per the NFL's personal-conduct policy, Sorsby could face an immediate suspension from the league, and the prospect of discipline could be a deal-breaker for some teams. New York drafted QB Cade Klubnik in the fourth round this April, but Sorsby's ceiling is considered much higher.--Keith Hernandez

ESPN's John Keim writes that the Washington Commanders "haven't had a No. 1 running back in a while and are likely to enter the season with a RB-by-committee situation." However, the Commanders don't have a shortage of options in their backfield going into the 2026 season after signing Rachaad White and Jerome Ford in free agency and drafting Penn State's all-time leading rusher, Kaytron Allen. They also have holdovers Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols. Croskey-Merritt, who led the team with 815 rushing yards in 2025 as a rookie, bulked up in the offseason, although he might have a similar role in Year 2 if he cannot improve as a pass blocker. The Commanders haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since 2021 and have had only two in the last 11 seasons. Quarterback Jayden Daniel, coming off an injury-plagued sophomore campaign, will also factor into the rushing attack this year. Croskey-Merritt should have the best chance to lead this backfield in touches again in 2026, but White's prowess as a pass-catcher could keep him as more of an RB3/flex play in fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Chicago Cubs right-handed pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins is currently on a rehab assignment at High-A South Bend, where he pitched 2 2/3 innings, allowing one run with three strikeouts in a start on Sunday. It's been an injury-plagued year for Wiggins, the second-round pick out of the University of Arkansas, but the promising right-hander was part of the Futures Game last season as a representative of the Chicago Cubs organization. Wiggins pitched to a 2.19 ERA between three levels in 2025, capped off by a finale at Triple-A Iowa. Across 78 innings, he totaled 97 punchouts with a stellar 1.03 WHIP. Recovering from right elbow inflammation, Wiggins is a promising prospect, and savvy fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his progress as he rehabs. Given Chicago's lack of starting pitching depth, Wiggins could become a priority pitching prospect to stash in the coming weeks once he returns to Triple-A.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller

Part-time 23XI Racing driver Corey Heim shocked the NASCAR world with an upset win in the Anduril 250 Race the Base at Naval Base Coronado. Heim started 13th in his first Cup start on a road course and did not show much speed during the first two stages of the race. In the first stage, Heim ended in 17th while in the second stage, he placed 21st at the end of it, but he did avoid all accidents and kept the car clean the whole time. In the final stage, Heim finally positioned himself as a serious contender as he made his way up through the field up to second behind Kyle Larson midway through the stage. Heim made up a six-second gap on Larson until they both pitted on lap 59 for the final time. When the race went through its final caution and ensuing restart, Heim followed his teammate, Tyler Reddick, past Larson and moved Carson Hocevar out of the way to take second. Heim and Reddick moved away from the rest of the field and had a final battle for the win, which ended with Heim taking the lead for good on lap 73 as he cruised to his first Cup Series win in his 13th Cup start. As a part-time driver, Heim is not competing for the Cup Series championship. Heim's next scheduled Cup start is at Chicagoland Speedway on July 5th.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Bubba Wallace of 23XI Racing had the best result of his career at a road or street course in Sunday's Anduril 250 Race the Base at Naval Base Coronado. Wallace started the race from 12th place, but quickly showed that he had plenty of speed from the beginning. The No. 23 Toyota driver went all the way up to the top five by the halfway point of the first stage, competing with Shane Van Gisbergen, Michael McDowell, and Ryan Blaney for the lead until his first pit stop on lap 17. On the very next lap, Wallace lost his right front wheel as his pit crew did not successfully tighten the lugnuts on the tire, leading to Wallace being held by NASCAR for two laps on pit road as a penalty. He ended the stage in the 33rd position as a result. Wallace spent the second stage and the final stage recovering back to the lead lap and regaining track position lost from the penalty/ He kept his car clean, and thanks to a timely caution on lap 60 as he was already pitting, he shuffled back towards the top 10. In what was the race's final restart, Wallace worked his way up to third behind his two teammates, Tyler Reddick and Corey Heim, while he was holding off Kyle Larson for position. Reddick eventually got a flat tire on lap 74, which allowed Wallace to slip to his eventual finishing position of second. This was the first time Wallace finished as the runner-up in a road or street racing event in the Cup Series, and he now moves up to 11th in the regular-season standings after 17 races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young intends to sign a massive four-year, $212 million deal to stay with the organization. According to Shams Charania, Young will get a four-year deal with a player option in the final year of the deal. Young recently declined a $49 million player option for a long-term deal in free agency. The Wizards didn't want to risk losing Young and gave him a hefty extension to stick around in Washington. Young was acquired by the Wizards mid-season and only played five games with the organization before being shut down for the rest of the year. Despite barely playing for the team, the Wizards view Young as a key piece of their future. Now, the Wizards have Young locked up to play alongside Alexander Sarr and whoever the team decides to draft with the first overall pick on Tuesday night.--Andy Webb

Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson had another strong result in Sunday's Anduril 250 Race the Base at Naval Base Coronado. Larson began the race from 14th position and had a car capable of moving up through the field, as he worked his way to the top 10 by midway through the first stage. The No. 5 Chevrolet driver ended up moving up to third by the end of the first stage as others went to pit road before the stage break, allowing Larson to score eight stage points. In the second stage, Larson moved to the middle of the pack as he pitted during the stage break, but was able to regain positions after avoiding a multicar accident started by Austin Hill, Shane Van Gisbergen, and Connor Zilisch. Larson moved up to the lead, but then went to pit road before the end of the second stage, moving him back to end the stage in 19th with no further stage points. In the final stage, Larson continued recovering positions and found his way back up to the lead midway through the stage, ahead of Corey Heim until his final pit stop on lap 60. After the race's final restart on lap 64, Larson challenged Carson Hocevar to the lead, but fell back behind him, Tyler Reddick, and Heim. Although Larson got past Hocevar after he spun, he was unable to catch up with Reddick and Heim and instead spent the rest of the race battling for position with Bubba Wallace. Wallace stayed ahead of Larson, but Larson did get past Reddick after he had a flat tire, leaving Larson to finish in third place. With his seventh top-5 result of the year, Larson moves to fourth in the regular-season standings after 17 Cup races this season.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi writes that no Cleveland Browns wideout was targeted more than wide receiver Isaiah Bond this spring. The Browns drafted receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston back in April, but that doesn't mean that Bond will be mothballed in his second NFL season. Bond showed off his speed and the 15 pounds of muscle that he added in the offseason with plenty of contested catches during offseason practices. The 22-year-old former University of Texas product played in 16 games (two starts) for the Browns in 2025 in his first year in the NFL and caught just 18 of his 44 targets for 338 yards and no touchdowns. Veteran Jerry Jeudy is still in the team's WR room, which will definitely make it difficult for Bond to stand out every week as he heads into his sophomore season in Cleveland. Bond deserves to be held in dynasty/keeper formats, but in redraft leagues in 2026, he should be left to the waiver wire to begin the season in 12-team leagues. Right now, Bond is outside of RotoBaller's top-100 receivers for the upcoming campaign.--Keith Hernandez

Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing had an up-and-down performance during the Anduril 250 Race the Base at Naval Base Coronado's Street Course. Reddick was originally slated to start 17th, but had to start from the rear after his team made unapproved adjustments before the start of the race. In the first stage, Reddick took the entire stage to move through the field as he went from the back to end the stage in 12th. Due to pit stops in the second stage and especially before the end of the stage, Reddick ended up falling back through the field and ended up in 30th. In the final stage, Reddick ended up pitting midway through the stage on lap 60 as a caution came out for fluid on the track. Reddick's timing of this pit stop allowed him to move to the front of the pack, and by lap 64, he passed Carson Hocevar and took the lead. From there, Reddick fought for the win with his teammate Corey Heim. Reddick and Heim fought for the win against each other until lap 74, when Reddick suffered a flat tire. The No. 45 Toyota driver then fell back and eventually placed 25th. With his finish of 25th, Reddick now sits only eight points ahead of Denny Hamlin for the regular-season points lead.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Shane Van Gisbergen was the heavy favorite coming into the Anduril 250 Race the Base at Naval Base Coronado's Street Course, but ended up crashing out with a 38th place finish. Van Gisbergen started the race in the pole position and had one of the strongest cars throughout the first stage of the race. He shuffled the lead around with multiple drivers, including Carson Hocevar, Ryan Blaney, and Bubba Wallace. SVG ran inside the top five until he pitted before the end of the first stage on lap 17, which caused him to move back and end the stage in 27th with no stage points. In the second stage, Van Gisbergen shuffled back to the top 10 after others went to pit road and was making progress through the field until he got into Chris Buescher on lap 25. SVG remained in the top 10 until a lap 30 caution. On the ensuing restart, Van Gisbergen was positioned close to the front and made a three-wide move for position, but collided with Austin Hill, setting off a big multicar accident that ended Van Gisbergen's day. As a result, SVG was credited with a finish of 38th and now sits 17th in the regular-season standings, five points behind Ryan Preece for the final position for eligibility for the Chase.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen had a taste of the major leagues in 2025 with the Rockies, but did little in his cameo appearance. Over his first 12 MLB games, Veen carried a low .112 average with a 14:2 K:BB. He was unable to earn a spot on the team's Opening Day roster due to injury and performance, and, as a result, has spent the whole season in Triple-A Albuquerque. Veen, a left-handed hitting outfielder, battled injury to begin the season, but has produced with 11 homers and 48 RBI in 246 at-bats at the Triple-A level to go with 14 steals and a .325 batting average. Those well-rounded numbers could make Veen, a former first-round pick, a sneaky stash option as he continues to knock on the door to a return trip to Colorado. With many outfielders on the MLB roster dealing with injuries, including Jordan Beck, Brenton Doyle, and Mickey Moniak, Veen could push for a promotion in the near future, given his dominant performance.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller

Chicago White Sox right-handed relief pitcher Grant Taylor offers fantasy value even without a full-time closer role. Across 37 2/3 innings, the 24-year-old is 2-0 with two saves, five holds, a 2.39 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 53 strikeouts. Taylor has been especially effective over his last 15 appearances, recording a 2.14 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and 28:4 K:BB across 21 innings. Seranthony Dominguez remains Chicago's primary closer, while Bryan Hudson is also part of the late-inning mix, so Taylor should not be treated as the unquestioned ninth-inning option. However, his strikeout production and strong ratios give him standalone value in saves-plus-holds formats, and he would be a logical candidate for more save chances if Dominguez continues to struggle (six earned runs over his last 11 frames). Taylor remains available in most Yahoo leagues at a 21% roster rate, making him an appealing bullpen pickup for fantasy managers seeking immediate strikeouts with the potential to earn saves.--Bruno Mulé

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) thinks he will be ready to go in Week 1 of the 2026 regular season after last year's gruesome season-ending ankle injury in his rookie campaign, according to Bobby Kownack of NFL.com. "It ain't gonna change who I am," Skattebo said. "I had an injury, you know, it is what it is. I've still got plenty of football left, plenty of life left, I'm not going to let this little ankle thing bother me. I'm going to get back [to] running people over like you see on the videos. It's going to be normal Cam Skattebo from here on out." After the Giants selected him in the fourth round in 2025, the Arizona State product had 617 total yards and seven touchdowns before injuring his ankle in Week 8. The 24-year-old took part in 11-on-11 drills during mandatory minicamp last week and should do more in training camp this summer. The Giants should rely more heavily on the running back in new head coach John Harbaugh's first year in the Big Apple, which makes Skattebo an intriguing RB2 target in single-year fantasy leagues in 2026 with the upside for more. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 20 fantasy RB.--Keith Hernandez

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) did some baserunning on Sunday and could come off the 10-day injured list before the team's series opener on Tuesday on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. Seattle has a scheduled day off on Monday. The 31-year-old has been cleared to travel with the M's during their road trip this week, so if he doesn't come back on Tuesday, he could return at any point this week. When Arozarena returns to Seattle's starting lineup, he should be considered a must-start in all fantasy formats. The Cuban slugger has been money at the plate so far in 2026 in his second full season with the Mariners, slashing .291/.377/.448 with an .826 OPS, seven home runs, 33 RBI, 19 stolen bases, and 47 runs scored across 71 games and 302 plate appearances. With the two-time All-Star out recently with a minor hamstring pull, Victor Robles has received extra run in Seattle's outfield.--Keith Hernandez

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez provides a good stash option while at Triple-A Louisville, for fantasy managers looking to add a high-impact power bat. With the Bats, the left-handed swinging 22-year-old has 17 home runs and 49 RBI this season while hitting for a solid .292 batting average. His .909 OPS shows off his power skills, and he has even added six stolen bases this season at the top level of the system. Should the Reds decide to look his way, Rodriguez could bring some of that power to the notoriously hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. Fantasy managers in deeper 12+ team, five-outfielder leagues should act now to acquire Rodriguez and reap the rewards later in the season.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery has produced modest results since reaching the majors, but his prospect pedigree and everyday role make him an appealing proactive waiver-wire target. The 23-year-old is batting .231/.268/.385 with one home run, four RBI, five runs, and a .653 OPS over his first 39 MLB at-bats. Chicago promoted Montgomery after he batted .314/.422/.548 across 56 games between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte, including a 15-for-34 run during a nine-game hitting streak immediately before his call-up. The White Sox have committed to playing their No. 2 prospect regularly, primarily in right field, giving him a secure opportunity to work through his early adjustment. Montgomery's swing-and-miss tendencies create some batting-average risk, but his raw power and strong minor-league production give him considerable breakout potential. Montgomery is rostered in just 20% of Yahoo leagues, making him a worthwhile proactive pickup in 12-team formats or deeper.--Bruno Mulé

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) threw off a bullpen mound on Saturday to a standing catcher, according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Snell is slowly making progress after having a scope on May 19 to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The 33-year-old won't be ready to rejoin the Dodgers' starting rotation until the second half of the season, and it's unclear exactly when that might be. But based on the quick return of Detroit Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal after a similar procedure on his elbow, Snell could return in late July or early August. The two-time Cy Young winner has only made 12 starts for the Blue since joining the team before the start of the 2025 campaign, and in his lone start this year, he allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits while walking two and striking out five in only three innings pitched. Snell has been extremely volatile for fantasy managers because of injuries the last two years, but he had a 2.35 ERA in his 11 starts last year and has a 30% career strikeout rate, making him stash-worthy almost everywhere for a second-half return. He's rostered in 75% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara is doing everything he can at Triple-A Nashville to encourage a promotion to the major leagues. The outfielder is hitting .313 with 56 runs, seven homers, 30 RBI, and 20 stolen bases across 67 games of action. That power-speed combination should play at the big league level (.873 OPS in 246 at-bats). The Brewers have shown an ability to get the most out of all types of players in Milwaukee, and Lara profiles as another player who could thrive at American Family Field. With the Brewers beckoning, Lara is a name to target in the waiver-wire process, and he could provide immediate dividends for fantasy managers. Additionally, earlier in June, the Brewers inked the top-100 prospect ot a seven-year contract extension, signaling his long-term role on this roster. Entering Week 13, Lara profiles as a top outfield prospect to stash as he is on the trajectory to compete for an MLB debut in the coming weeks.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller

Smith could return early next homestand, though, which starts on Thursday, July 2, against the division-rival San Diego Padres, and he might need a short minor-league rehab assignment. The 31-year-old veteran recently received a cortisone injection in his neck to help him deal with inflammation that has kept him sidelined for the last two weeks. The three-time All-Star should be stashed in most fantasy baseball formats despite his injury and the fact that he has disappointed with a .249 average (43-for-173), six home runs, 23 RBI, and 23 runs scored in 2026 before landing on the 10-day injured list. His replacement, Dalton Rushing, has hit .254 (34-for-134) with eight long balls, 22 RBI, and 21 runs scored in 45 games in his first full year in the majors.--Keith Hernandez

Hernandez should be cleared to begin a rehab assignment this week at OKC after taking live batting practice the last few days. The 33-year-old veteran right-handed slugger has been sidelined with a Grade 1 hamstring strain since late, May, but barring a setback on his rehab assignment this week and weekend, he could be ready to go to begin next week. The Dominican outfielder could be eased back into the Dodgers' starting lineup next week, but he's an everyday player for the team when he's fully healthy. Hernandez was hitting a strong .276/.348/.436 with a .785 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs, and two steals in 181 at-bats before tweaking his hamstring.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday (groin) remains an intriguing waiver-wire option despite a slow start and some short-term uncertainty. The 22-year-old is batting .200/.286/.388 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs, and three stolen bases over 85 at-bats since returning from right hamate surgery. His production has dipped further over his last 15 games (.174 AVG), but his combination of power, speed, and regular playing time when healthy preserves his fantasy upside. Last summer, the former top-ranked prospect produced 17 home runs and 17 stolen bases across 149 games, demonstrating the multi-category ceiling that remains. Holliday was removed after experiencing groin tightness on Saturday and sat out the following game, but the Orioles consider him day-to-day, and he does not expect the issue to require an injured-list stint. Managers should continue to monitor his status, but he should not be in danger of missing much time this coming week. Holliday's Yahoo rostership rate sits at 32%, leaving him available in roughly two-thirds of leagues as an upside pickup for managers who can tolerate some immediate uncertainty.--Bruno Mulé

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Karson Milbrandt has impressed at every level and challenge placed before him this season. The 6-foot-2 right-hander continues to progress in the Marlins' minor league system and is seeing his fantasy value soar. At his latest stop at Triple-A Jacksonville, he has yet to record a decision in three starts but has dazzled with a 1.20 ERA and 15 punchouts (over 15 innings). Before that, at Double-A Pensacola, Milbrandt was dominant, posting a 4-1 record and a 1.34 ERA with 70 strikeouts over 47 innings of work. With the Marlins needing depth at the major-league level in their starting rotation with Eury Perez and Janson Junk both on the 15-day injured list, Milbrandt could find his way to Miami shortly.

Over 245 at-bats, the 26-year-old is batting .204/.309/.355 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 11 stolen bases, and a .664 OPS. He has looked more productive across his last 15 games, hitting .239/.364/.500 with three homers, nine runs, four RBI, and four steals. The batting average and strikeout rate still carry risk, but McLain has already demonstrated a much higher ceiling. He hit .290 with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 89 games as a rookie in 2023. Under the hood, his current 9.9% barrel rate suggests there could be more room for untapped power upside. McLain's 43% Yahoo roster rate leaves him available in a majority of leagues, making him a strong pickup for managers seeking middle-infield power and speed as he begins to find his footing at the plate.--Bruno Mulé

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is making a strong case to be rostered in more fantasy leagues during the best sustained stretch of his major-league career. Across 72 games, the 28-year-old is batting .309/.368/.457 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 36 runs, one stolen base, and an .825 OPS. More importantly, Jung has cut his strikeout rate to a career-best 16.0%, giving his batting-average production a more stable foundation. Jung has stayed hot by collecting eight hits and scoring four runs over his last four games. His modest 5.6% barrel rate suggests fantasy managers should not expect an immediate home-run explosion, but his hard contact, everyday role, and improved approach should continue to produce a useful average, runs, and RBI. Jung is already up to 53% rostered on Yahoo, yet he's still available in nearly half of leagues as a priority pickup for managers needing help at third base.--Bruno Mulé

Illinois guard Keaton Wagler recently dropped out of a workout with the Brooklyn Nets. Wagler met with the organization, but decided not to work out for the organization because he believes he'll be drafted before they come up in the draft. The rookie guard is confident that he'll be selected in the top 5 during Tuesday's NBA Draft. The speculation is that the Los Angeles Clippers will take Wagler with the fifth overall pick. There are also rumors that the Chicago Bulls could be interested in taking Wagler, but they've also been tied to Caleb Wilson at No. 4. This past season, Wagler finished with 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists during his lone season with Illinois.

The Kings are seeking a cornerstone guard to run the offense, which could potentially be Acuff, assuming he falls to them. Flemings isn't a bad pick either, but is projected lower than Acuff in most mock drafts. The expectation is that the Kings are going to select one of the two guards during Tuesday's draft.--Andy Webb
